The 2020 Yamaha WR 155R has been launched
in Thailand. The dual-sport motorcycle comes with the same 155cc single-cylinder
engine that the company uses in the Yamaha R15 V3. The 2020 Yamaha WR 155R has
been priced at THB 105,000 (US$ 3,323).
The 155cc single-cylinder engine of the
2020 WR 155R comes equipped with Yamaha’s VVA (Variable Valve Actuation)
technology which ensures the availability of power across the entire rev-band.
Speaking of power, Yamaha Thailand has not listed the power and torque output
of the 2020 WR 155R on its official website, however, it is likely to have the
same figures as that of the Indonesian model, with 16.7PS of maximum power and
14.3 Nm of peak torque. The transmission here is a 6-speed unit.
Being a dual-sport motorcycle, the 2020
Yamaha WR 155R is fitted with a pair of 41mm long-travel conventional
telescopic front forks which are protected by fibre panels. The rear uses a
preload-adjustable mono-shock. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke
wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tyres aim to enhance the off-roading prowess of
the ADV. The off-road biased motorcycle also boasts a ground clearance of 245mm
and a saddle height of 888mm. Steering duties are performed by a tall-set,
single-piece handlebar that should be easily accessible while standing up on
the foot-pegs.
The Yamaha WR 155R is not a new
motorcycle. It has already been on sale in Indonesia.
