Bharat Mobility Expo: Under its 'The Call of the Blue' campaign, Yamaha Motor India has put on display an exciting array of motorcycles and scooters at the inaugural Bharat Mobility Expo. The first-ever mobility show is scheduled to take place between February 1 and 3 in New Delhi.
The R15 V4 series (155cc) stands out with four dynamic colour schemes: Racing Blue, Dark Knight, Metallic Red, and new Intensity White, whereas the one seen in the image is a Carbon Edition version of the Yamaha R15M. Visually, the new edition gets a carbon-fibre finish on its headlight fairing and rear quarter panel, while the base Silver colour of the fuel tank remains unchanged. Other noticeable bits include blue accents across the fairing and blacked-out wheels.

However, the company has yet to confirm whether the R15M Carbon Edition will go on sale in India alongside the R15M Monster Energy MotoGP Edition (Rs 1.97 lakh, ex-showroom). If launched, expect the recently unveiled Carbon Edition to command a slight premium over the MotoGP Edition.
Other models in the R-Series family on display include the R1 (1000cc), the R7 (700cc), and the R3 (321cc). Yamaha's 400 sq. metre pavilion also features the MT series (MT-07, MT-03, and MT-15), the Aerox Maxi-Sports scooter (155cc), the N-Max (155cc), the FZS FI V4 Deluxe (149cc), the Grand Filano (125cc), the RAY ZR 125 Hybrid, and more. Other than these two-wheelers, the pavilion presented a range of Yamaha-branded apparel and accessories (jackets, T-shirts, helmets, and gloves), innovative technologies, a gaming zone, a selfie zone, and a Monster Energy stall.
