The Indian arm of Suzuki has introduced the brand new 125cc Slingshot, a smaller street touring machine. The bike was inspired by the GSX-R series and is targeted at the mass segment. The SlingShot features a sharp design and a simple 125cc engine with carburettor. The bike is available in four colours (Metallic Mustard Yellow, Metallic Fox Orange, Candy Antares Red and Pearl Nebular Black) and it is priced at Rs. 50,949 (approx. $1,085 at the current exchange rate).
The new Suzuki SlingShot 125
The new bike is powered by a 125cc engine with Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system. The company has finally filled the void between the 100 cc and 150 cc motorcycle segments. The users can enjoy the style, comfort and performance of a 150 cc bike with low price because the new SlingShot bike has a best combination of the look and key parameters of 100 cc and 150 cc models. “Suzuki is a brand trusted worldwide for its superior technology and uncompromised quality and we have amply displayed this to our commitment to India by launching products, from the GS150R to the Hayabusa, Gixxer and Bandit, that have generated tremendous response from customers. The same global promise of Suzuki ensures that our customers in India get same uncompromising quality, style, performance and comfort in the Suzuki SlingShot,” said Katsumi Takata, Chairman of Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. “The Suzuki SlingShot offers a complete package in terms of Style, Comfort, Performance and Practicality – all combined in a 125 cc bike. The customer wanted a bike that was as frugal on fuel as a 100 cc bike, yet had the looks to match a 150 cc premium bike combined with a price point that made the product affordable yet met all requirements – which the Suzuki SlingShot offers,” added Atul Gupta, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd.
