Yamaha To Launch New Two-Wheeler On Nov 11, 2025 – XSR 155 or First EV?
Yamaha India has officially confirmed the launch of a new two-wheeler on November 11, 2025, sending out “Block Your Date” media invites across the country. While the invite keeps the name under wraps, speculation is already rife. Industry insiders believe the brand may either bring in the long-anticipated Yamaha XSR 155 or debut its first electric scooter for India, based on the River Indie platform.
1. Yamaha XSR 155 India Launch
Recently, the Yamaha XSR 155 was spotted on Indian roads, wrapped in heavy camouflage with a red test plate, strongly hinting at its evaluation for launch.
Design Highlights:
- Classic neo-retro styling with modern tech.
- Circular LED headlamp and teardrop fuel tank for a roadster feel.
- Front USD forks and monoshock rear suspension.
- Single-piece flat seat and sleek LED indicators.
- Alloy wheels (borrowed from the FZ-X for India).
Engine & Performance:
The XSR 155 shares its platform with the Yamaha R15 V4 and uses the proven 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 18.1 bhp and 14 Nm torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch.
This setup promises the balance of sporty performance and everyday usability that Yamaha’s 150cc line-up is known for.
2. Yamaha’s First Electric Scooter for India
Another strong possibility is Yamaha unveiling its first electric scooter in India, co-developed with River Mobility. Yamaha has already confirmed that its EV project will be ready by the end of 2025, making November a perfect timeline.
Expected Features:
- Based on the River Indie’s architecture but lighter in design.
- A 4 kWh battery pack delivering 100+ km range per charge.
- Conventional scooter styling for daily commuters.
- Competitive weight advantage compared to River Indie (143 kg).
What To Expect From Yamaha on November 11
- If it’s the XSR 155, Yamaha will expand its 150cc portfolio in India with a lifestyle-oriented motorcycle, taking on the likes of the Honda CB350RS and Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
- If it’s the electric scooter, Yamaha will finally enter the booming EV market in India, going up against Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube.
Conclusion
The upcoming Yamaha launch on November 11, 2025, is creating massive buzz in the Indian two-wheeler space.
