Design and Build Quality
The Yamaha WR155R is built on a semi-double cradle frame, which gives it better stability during off-road riding. Its muscular and aggressive design gives it a different look on the road. With the help of 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel, this bike offers better grip even on off-road tracks.
Its build quality is quite strong, which is long-lasting. High-ground clearance helps it run easily even on bad roads.
Engine and Performance
The WR155R is powered by the same 155cc liquid-cooled engine as the Yamaha YZF-R15, but it has been optimized for off-road riding. This engine produces 16.5 BHP of power and 14.3 Nm of torque. The most important thing is that its peak torque arrives 2000 RPM earlier than the R15, which gives better acceleration off-road.
With a 6-speed gearbox, this bike is perfect for all types of riding. Whether you are on city roads or on mountain roads, the WR155R will give you a smooth and powerful riding experience.
Suspension and Braking
Being an off-road bike, the WR155R needed a strong suspension system, and Yamaha has done it well. The front has 41mm USD forks, which offer a comfortable ride even on rough roads with long travel. The rear has a gas-charged monoshock, which also has the facility of preload adjustment.
For braking, 240mm front disc and 220mm rear disc brakes have been provided. However, the absence of ABS is a bit disappointing, especially for Indian roads where safety is very important.
