It produces 85hp. It used a different block casting but the same "tall-block" deck height as the A14. In the Roadstar it is capable of 49 mpg (17,3 km/L).

A14 vs A15

A15 uses the second A14 block casting (same block as A14):

  • 11010-H9700 A14/A15 BARE BLOCK 76mm/2.99" bore size
    • Bore: 76 mm
    • Stroke A15: 82mm
    • Stroke A14: 77mm
    • Pin Height: The A15 piston has a 30mm pin to crown height, while the A14 has a 32.5mm height

Earlier A14 blocks were slightly different. The A15 oil pan has slight bumps in the side to allow the larger crank to swing without touch the pan sides.
