India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt Ltd. has just announced the launch of the 2023 version of its popular models – the FZS-Fi V4 Deluxe, FZ-X, MT-15 V2 Deluxe, and R15M. The new models come with class-leading features, offering riders a more exciting and thrilling experience on the road.

TCS: The Future of Motorcycling

Leading the charge in the 150 cc class segment, the Yamaha FZS-Fi V4 Deluxe, FZ-X, and MT-15 V2 Deluxe models now come equipped with a Traction Control System (TCS) as a standard feature.

This system is also available on the Yamaha R15M and R15V4.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Eishin Chihana, Chairman of Yamaha Motor India Group of Companies, said, “As part of our ongoing ‘The Call of the Blue’ brand campaign, Yamaha is committed to introducing exciting features from its global product portfolio in India. The Traction Control System is a prime example of this, offering a new level of excitement and performance to riders in India.”
