Home / New Bike Prices / Yamaha / WR-155R
The Yamaha WR-155R is one of the few factory-built dual-sport motorcycles officially sold in Nepal, aimed at riders who want a single machine for both Kathmandu traffic and weekend trails. With its R15-derived 155cc VVA engine, long-travel suspension and serious ground clearance, it offers car buyers an alternative form of personal mobility that is compact, rugged and adventure-ready at a premium bike price point of Rs 7,49,900 ex-showroom in Nepal.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 17 Jul 2026.
The WR-155R sold by MAW Yamaha in Nepal is styled as a true dual-sport, closer to an enduro bike than a commuter, with a tall stance, slim body and high-mounted front fender that immediately set it apart from typical 150cc street motorcycles. Spoke wheels with a large 21-inch front and 18-inch rear, shod with dual-purpose knobby tyres, give it the visual and functional presence of an off-road machine, while the narrow tank and seat keep the bike looking lean rather than bulky. Ground clearance is notably high and the chassis uses a semi double-cradle type frame, so the WR-155R visually communicates its ability to clear rocky riverbeds, broken rural tracks and tall speed breakers that are common on Nepali roads. Overall proportions are tall and purposeful, which may feel intimidating compared to scooters or low bikes, but to buyers who like SUVs and crossovers, the WR-155R plays a similar “go-anywhere” design role on two wheels.
Under the bodywork, the WR-155R uses Yamaha’s familiar 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), a unit closely related to the R15 and tuned here for strong low- and mid-range pull rather than outright top speed. Power output is in the 16–18 PS range depending on the spec source, with torque around 14 Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox, which gives enough performance for highway cruising while still being tractable on steep climbs and technical trails. Owners and reviewers in Nepal report real-world fuel efficiency in the mid 30s to low 40s km/l, which is reasonable for a performance-oriented 155cc dual-sport given the bike’s gearing, tall stance and off-road tyres. With its high ground clearance and long wheelbase, the WR-155R feels most at home on rough roads, gravel and light trails, but it can also serve as a daily city bike, where the responsive engine and light weight help riders cut through congestion more quickly than a car.
