2017 Yamaha R15 V3.0 is the most powerful bike in the 150cc segment.

As we reported earlier, the 2017 R15 Version 3.0 features first-in-the-segment full LED headlamps, hazard lamp, faux air intake, new exhaust, new fairing, USD front forks, a fully digital instrument cluster, a dual tone colour scheme, and of course, the evergreen Delta Box frame. Sadly, there is no ABS even as an option. But gets a slipper and assist clutch.

The new powertrain is a bigger 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke VVA engine mated to a 6-speed transmission. This unit churns-out 20 PS of maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. Interestingly, the 2017 R15 Version 3.0 also receives a slipper to minimise the effects of engine braking under aggressive downshifts.
