        The R15S is truly a sports bike with excellent performance. It delivers 18.6 PS and 10,000 RPM, featuring VVA settings and dual-channel ABS. The attractive Racing Blue color, dual disc brakes, and full-fiber build make it stand out. It comes with a 6-speed gearbox, a fully fitted sensor kit, and all the sporty features expected from a high-performance bike.

        A very nice bike with great design and color combination. The 155cc engine is powerful, and the mileage is smooth and fits my budget. I would recommend purchasing this bike.
