The V15 is Bajaj’s first motorcycle under its new ‘V’ brand. Marketed as a stylish commuter, the V15 will sit between the Discover and the Pulsar range.
The most interesting aspect of the V15 is that the bike contains metal from the INS Vikrant – India’s first aircraft carrier. In terms of design, Bajaj has stuck to a classic retro appeal, something this segment doesn’t have. But at first glance you’ll be reminded of the Avenger because there’s a certain amount of design inspiration from the cruiser.
The Bajaj V15 gets a 150cc single-cylinder engine, based on the same DTSi engine from the Avenger. It delivers 12bhp at 7500rpm and peak torque of 13Nm at 5500rpm. This engine is mated to a five-speed transmission. There is a new-for-2019 version called the ‘Power Up’ which offers one extra bhp and a universal gearshift pattern. This brings it to 13 bhp and adds a ‘one down, four up’ gearshift pattern. The 18-inch front wheel rides on conventional 33mm telescopic front forks while the 16-inch rear wheel rides on dual springs. The brake setup is made up of a 240mm disc brake at the front and a 130mm drum in the rear. In terms of dimensions, the V15 is 2044mm long, 780mm wide and 1070mm tall. The wheelbase stands at 1355mm and the bike tips the scale at 135.5kg.
Bajaj Motorcycles is offering the new V15 in just two paint schemes – pearl white and ebony black. It competes with the Hero Achiever, Honda CB Unicorn and the Yamaha SZ-RR Version 2.0. The V15 is priced at approximately Rs 66,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The ARAI mileage of Bajaj V15 is 57 kmpl. The average of the V15 is 50 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

This bike is owned by my cousin's brother and I like this bike very much, please continue the production of this bike. This bike has the best speed, mileage and long seat, and everything is perfect. The bike has also a nice and attractive exhaust sound which everyone loves and the look is also awesome.

This is a modified version of many bike models out there and made a cruiser-like bike appreciating the INS Vikrant in its production. Apart from its message, the bike is heavy and it doesn't give out the benefit of a 150cc engine. Performance and Service issues are more in this bike. Not a recommendation. There are many issues with its design and performance that users reported. Pickup is not so best. The bike is good at driving in windy conditions it won't wobble due to its wait. Seating experience hard for pillions.

V15 honest review

Black dot for 150cc segment. Low power and expensive spare parts after discontinuation. Can't consider it a cruiser or commuter. The odd design makes it look outdated. Not for young riders. The mileage I get is around 40kmph having heard it gives approx 50kmph. Bajaj could have done something great for the hype the bike got. Heavy vibration and stiff handles can make you feel bored.

The invincible v15-my first vehicle

I purchased this bike in May 2016 in Kerala. Have fond memories of this bike and it has never ceased to please me with the ride comfort. The fuel economy is good. The sound is quite powerful and the handling gives you the feel of the bullet. The seat is quite comfortable for pillion riders as well. It was my first vehicle so always has a special place in my heart. I'm going to complete 6 years with my v15.

Tips for other riders
This bike comes with tubeless tyres. Although I have driven this bike to a max of 110-120 kmph , its control was quite sturdy. But it's always better and safe to drive a two-wheeler to a maximum of 80 kmph not more.
