Over the weekend, Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH) introduced the updated version of the Sniper nameplate in the country, presenting an athletic and modern offering in the underbone category. The latest Yamaha Sniper 155 has refreshed its looks with its styling, taking cues from the YZF-R1. Developed to bear the Yamaha Racing DNA, the Yamaha Sniper155 wears a modern and compact design as expressed in its forward silhouette and the short and upward rear end. Also, the headlamp system shows a unique design with the Sniper 155 as the low beam is now separated from the high beam. The high beam is built into the body while the low beam seems to come from the handlebar level. The newest Yamaha Sniper is powered by an improved liquid-cooled 155cc SOHC four-valve fuel-injected engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) and individual ignition timing maps. This powertrain is paired to a six-speed transmission. This matching helps the Yamaha Sniper 155 reach a peak of 17.6hp and 14.4Nm torque. It
No Deltabox frame for the Sniper as it wouldn’t suit the format and it would have also become quite pricey. Even the beefy USD fork and aluminium swingarm have been skipped for the very same reasons.
You can see traces of Yamaha’s R-family design language on the Sniper. What’s unique about the moped is that the LED low beam is located on the head section while the split lights, lower down the front, serve as high beams. While it gives off a Honda CBR250RR-vibe, this setup should hopefully offer better performance than the India-spec R15 v3.
