The new shade is priced at Rs 1,58,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi) serving as a top colour variant, price-wise. Along with this, the brand has also increased the prices of other colours of the XSR155.

The new colour joins the existing colour options including Metallic Blue, Metallic Grey, Greyish Green Metallic and Vivid Red.

What's New?

The Metallic Black colour gives an attractive look to Yamaha XSR155 featuring a metallic black shade on the fuel tank, and on the side panels while the rest of the motorcycle gets a black finish. The black coloured seat goes well with the overall dark theme of the bike. More importantly, this shade gets a gold-finished fork, while the logos are finished in contrasting chrome. It also features blacked-out wheels, so the only option with golden coloured wheels remains the Greyish Green Metallic.

With the introduction of Metallic Black, Yamaha has answered the customers' demands of asking for a black colour option. The overall finish is subtle, yet elegant, and in line with its minimalistic design approach.

What's Unchanged?

Apart from the new colour option, rest of the mechanical details remain the same. The bike is powered by a 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) that makes 18.4PS and 14.2Nm paired to a 6-speed gearbox. VVA tech helps in ensuring a good balance of low and top-end drive.

The XSR 155 comes with a USD fork and a monoshock, traction control, disc brake at both ends, and dual-channel ABS, assist-and-slipper clutch, all-LED lighting, and circular TFT console showing important details like trip meter, fuel gauge, gear position indicator along with Bluetooth connectivity. That said, there's no turn-by-turn navigation even as an option.

Interestingly, Yamaha offers a black colour option in the Indonesian markets as well. However, the one sold in that country gets a gold-themed logo on the fuel tank and on the side panels. The Indonesian version of the XSR155 also got a super cool-looking 70th Anniversary red and white combo livery. We really hope Yamaha introduces this colour scheme in India as well.
