      2022 Suzuki Hayabusa Gets With New White Colour Option

      by

      2022 Suzuki Hayabusa New Colour2022 Suzuki Hayabusa has no direct rival in the market and is available to Indian buyers as a Completely Built Unit (CBU)
      Suzuki Hayabusa got a generation upgrade earlier this year and despite minimal updates, owners suggest that the ride experience has been amplified a few notches higher. Add to that the fully-faired beast looks stunning and aesthetically pleasing to eyes. The latest iteration of the Busa, until now, was earlier available in two paint schemes.
      2022 Suzuki Hayabusa White – New Colour
      The Japanese bikemaker has another colour option to the palette in the form of Pearl Brilliant White with Metallic Matte Stellar Blue accents for the 2022 Hayabusa. Prior to this, the fully-faired sports tourer was available with Glass Sparkle Black with Candy Burnt Gold and Metallic Matte Sword Silver with Candy Daring Red which continues to be offered.
      The latest paint scheme benefits from the white body panels with minor chrome accents which provide a bright and uplifting stance. Accentuating its premium appeal are Matte Stellar Blue accents on the front bezels outlining the headlamp, air scoops on side fairings, and rear seat outline panel. Rest of the bike remains practically unchanged.
      Modifications to Powertrain
      Powering the third-gen Hayabusa is a 1340cc in-line four-cylinder four-stroke engine that pumps out 185 bhp and 150 Nm of peak torque. While the engine displacement has remained the same, major changes have been made to its running gear. For instance, the motor gets new pistons, crankshaft, conrods, and camshaft which have brought in massive changes to the performance of the new Hayabusa.

      Further, addition of a new optimised twin swirl combustion chamber has reduced vibrations at a higher rev range to a considerable extent. The revised engine has been paired with a six-speed constant mesh gearbox via a slipper and assist clutch. All these changes to the powertrain have increased the accessibility of all the power available with a wider torque band.
      Updated Dynamics
      Comfort and stability of the new-gen Hayabusa are taken care of by a suspension setup comprising inverted, oil-damped telescopic front forks and a link type, oil-damped mono-shock at rear. Braking is handled by twin Brembo Stylema discs at front and a single Nissin disc at rear. A dual-channel ABS is a given at this price point.
      The third-gen Hayabusa is also loaded with plenty of tech gizmos, especially rider-aided electronics. The entire electronics is governed by Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) that enables the rider to access 3 riding modes via the power mode selector- Active, Basic, and Comfort. Further, it also hosts features such as Launch Control System, Active Speed Limiter, cruise control, Anti-lift Control System and Engine Braking Control

      Other crucial features included are Hill Hold Control System, Quickshifter, traction control modes and other electronic wizardries. Safety is taken care of by Lean angle-sensitive ABS and a speed limiter. More

      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Specs, Features Comparo

      by

      New Suzuki AvenisWith its compact profile, sporty design and peppy engine, Suzuki Avenis will primarily target younger audiences
      While Suzuki already has Access and Burgman Street in 125cc segment, recently launched Avenis turns out to be a better match against rivals like TVS Ntorq. In addition to its sporty profile, Avenis also packs in a range of useful features. To understand how it fares against rivals, here’s a quick comparison between Suzuki Avenis vs. TVS Ntorq vs. Yamaha RayZR.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Design and styling
      All three scooters have a sporty profile with sharp design, unique styling bits and sculpted body panelling. It is tough to say which is the better looking one. But Avenis does have the advantage of offering a fresh design. Coupled with its sporty graphics and striking dual-tone colour options, Avenis could get the customer’s attention. In addition to standard colour options, Avenis is also available in MotoGP inspired Race Edition.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      If we consider only the colour options, it’s apparent that Ntorq fares better in this aspect. That’s because it has different variants in varying colour themes. The kind of styling seen with Ntorq Race Edition, Super Squad Edition and Race XP is a lot sportier and exciting. RayZR follows closely with 6 standard colour options and a special MotoGP Edition with Monster Energy branding.
      Features
      In terms of features, there’s not much difference between the three scooters. Key essentials that really matter such as Bluetooth mobile connectivity, app-based connectivity features, charging point, digital instrument console, and LED headlight and DRL are available with all three scooters.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      In case of Avenis, its key features include turn-by-tun navigation, motorcycle inspired rear indicators, external fuel filling, front glove box with USB charging socket, side stand engine cut-off, and engine start and kill switch.
      Ntorq has most of these features excluding a few such as side stand engine cut-off. But Ntorq has some additional features such as voice assist commands. RayZR misses out on features such as navigation, engine kill switch, external fuel filler cap and LED tail light.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Engine and specs
      In terms of power output, Ntorq leads the pack with 10.2 ps of max power at 7,000 rpm. It is India’s first 125cc scooter to have more than 10 hp power. Torque output is also highest at 10.8 Nm at 5,500 rpm. Avenis makes 8.7 ps at 6,750 rpm and 10 Nm at 5,500 rpm. RayZR has least power output at 8.2 ps, but torque is second best at 10.3 Nm. While Avenis and Ntorq have CVT gearbox, RayZR utilizes a V-Belt Automatic unit.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      RayZR low power should not be a concern, as it is the lightest of the three at 99kg. Avenis and Ntorq have kerb weight of 106 kg and 116 kg, respectively.All three scooters have telescopic front suspension. At the rear, Avenis has swingarm whereas Ntorq uses coil spring with hydraulic dampers. RayZR has unit swing rear suspension. Braking combo of front disc and rear drum is common for all three scooters.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Price
      Yamaha RayZR is the most affordable, priced in the range of Rs 75,372 – 85,896. Next is TVS Ntorq available in the range of Rs 78,090 – 87,270. Suzuki Avenis is costliest, priced at Rs 86,700 – 87,000. But this is because the price of standard version has not been announced yet. Avenis standard version is expected to be priced competitively. Suzuki plans to open bookings of Avenis in the first week of Dec 2021. More

      New Suzuki Electric Scooter Officially Teased Ahead Of Launch Tomorrow

      by

      New Suzuki Electric ScooterSuzuki has previously announced that it is working on an electric scooter for India and this could very well be it
      The welcoming response received from the Indian audience for sporty automatic scooters like Honda Dio, Yamaha RayZR, Aprilia SR series and TVS NTORQ has apparently made Suzuki pause and take notice. While the Japanese brand does cover the premium automatic scooter segment with its stylish Burgman, there still is a void in its portfolio when it comes to a sleek and sporty offering.
      New Suzuki Electric Scooter – Design
      A video has emerged online containing a few key details of what looks like an upcoming Suzuki automatic scooter. The low quality images point towards a sporty offering which looks set to be pitted against the aforementioned competitors.
      Just like its intended rivals, the new Suzuki scooter features an edgy front apron with integrated headlamp (possibly appointed with LED elements). A small visor and clear lens turn indicators are located on the handlebar cowl.
      The tail is characterized by a unique split brake-light setup. The video goes on to reveal the scooter’s fully digital dashboard which is reported to have Bluetooth connectivity. Other noticeable elements are split grab rails, simple-looking rear-view mirrors, engine kill switch and bright colour options. The video claims that the new product is aimed at Gen-Z and ends with the caption, “Zipping is the new cruising”.
      The rear wheel setup matches that of the Burgman electric scooter test mule
      Technical details
      The powertrain details are not clear as of now but we hope to have a better idea in a matter of few hours – as Suzuki Electric scooter launch is scheduled for tomorrow; 18th Nov, 2021. The lightening logo built into the wordings “More…Per…” at the end of the video suggests that the scooter could be housing a completely or partially electrified propulsion system.
      The lightening logo in the letter ‘O’ of the word ‘MORE’ – hints at the scooter being electric.
      It is to be noted that prototypes of electric version of Burgman were spied testing in the country on more than one occasion. Those could have been the development mules for this new Suzuki scooter.
      That said, if the two wheeler were to be equipped with a conventional IC engine, then the Burgman’s 125 cc air-cooled, fuel-injected unit mated to a CVT is the most likely candidate. The motor produces 8.7 hp and 10 Nm of torque. Take a look at the teaser video below.
      [embedded content]
      Will it work?
      After struggling to make inroads during the initial years as an independent brand, Suzuki has now found its rhythm in the highly competitive Indian two wheeler market. While the Gixxer series has managed to carve a niche for itself in the mid-premium compact displacement motorcycle space, the brand’s Access and Burgman Street achieved the same feat in the scooter segment.
      The new model is a part of Suzuki’s efforts to consolidate its progress in the market. We expect the new Suzuki scooter to be packed with best-in-segment features, and carry a very tempting price tag. Stay tuned as we bring you more updates. More

      Suzuki Burgman Electric Debut Likely On 18th Nov – Chetak, iQube Rival

      by

      Suzuki Burgman Electric ScooterSuzuki Burgman electric scooter has been spied testing multiple times on public road – Launch is expected soon
      Suzuki Motorcycle India Ltd has been having tremendous success with products that are specifically designed and developed for our market. The Suzuki Gixxer series kick started the upward progress for the Japanese two wheeler marker in India. Subsequent India-spec Suzukis, the Access, Burgman and Intruder, too quickly emerged as popular choices in their respective segments.
      With demand for electric vehicles on the rise, Suzuki also has plans to enter this segment. Of the top two wheeler brands in India, Bajaj and TVS have already entered this segment with Chetak and iQube respectively. Hero MotoCorp has announced their plans to launch electric scooter in 2022. Honda and Yamaha also have plans to enter this segment.
      Suzuki Burgman Electric Launch
      Of the remaining big two wheeler brands, Suzuki is likely to be the next one to enter the electric two wheeler segment. Their Burgman electric scooter has been regularly spied testing in the NCR region. Earlier today, Suzuki two wheeler has shared a block your date email for 18th Nov. It is likely to be the global debut date of the Burgman electric scooter.
      The electric version of the Burgman Street 125, sports the same design as seen on its petrol counterpart. It will be seen in a striking white and blue colour scheme to set it apart from its fossil fuel counterpart. It will ride on 12 inch front and 10 inch rear wheels. It will receive telescopic front fork and twin shock absorber at the rear along with disc brake in the front and drum brake at the rear with CBS.
      Suzuki Burgman Electric Teaser?
      Suzuki Burgman Electric scooter will continue to sport other features from its petrol powered counterpart that include a muscular body, LED head and tail lamps with LED turn indicators, tall windscreen, large and comfortable seating. It will also receive a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.
      Suzuki Burgman Electric Made In India
      Suzuki will continue with the strategy of designing its products specially for India with global technology platforms as base. The Suzuki electric scooter which is set to enter our market, will adopt an India-spec design package while the electric powertrain and battery will be shared with global models. The upcoming automatic two wheeler is the first proper electric scooter by the firm. Suzuki has been selling e-Lets in Japanese market for sometime now but with a range of just 30 km, it’s not exactly a global urban electric vehicle.
      Suzuki would be focusing on developing a Lithium-ion battery pack for the automatic scooter in question. The performance levels of this electric scooter would be somewhere between the 110 cc and 125 cc segment standards. It will rival the likes of Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, Ather 450x, Ola S1, and many others from Hero Electric, Ampere, Okinawa, etc.
      Suzuki Burgman Electric Scooter
      Just like the India-spec Burgman and Intruder, the new Suzuki electric scooter for India is designed by the company’s local styling team. Suzuki feels that a typical prospective customer is willing to pay up to 20% more for an electric scooter over an IC-engined model with similar performance. That would be the price target for the new green scooter. In terms of numbers, the target price tag would be approx Rs 1 lakh. More

      Automobile sales all across the globe have been adversely hit by the shortage of semiconductor chips. This is taking a toll on sales figures of automakers in India as well. Suzuki is one such two-wheeler manufacturer that has witnessed a slump in sales in recent months.

      In September 2021, Suzuki did see domestic wholesales decline while exports registered growth. Suzuki two wheeler wholesales fell to 55,608 units in September 2021.

MoM sales decline is reported at 10 percent, down from 61,809 units. Volume loss stood at 6,201 units. Best selling Suzuki two wheelers in India includes Access, Burgman, Gixxer, Intruder. Their newly launched Hayabusa is also the best-selling motorcycle in its segment.
      In the meantime, Suzuki Motorcycle India continues to offer the company’s growing range of products. In an effort to meet with the growing demand, the company have been undertaking steps, as advised by market trends to augment product range. Production capacities today are being far better utilised than earlier months when sales was just about nearing the 50k units mark on a monthly basis.
      Satoshi Uchida, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd. said, “We continue to experience a very strong demand both from the Domestic and Overseas Markets. However, Supply Chain constraints being experienced in the Country and across the Globe have impacted our efforts to cater to the heightened demand. We are hopeful that the situation will improve and we shall be able to fully cater to the demand.”
      Suzuki Two Wheeler Sales Sep 2021
      Indian auto industry recovery
      Demand from the domestic market is being supported by a strong growth in retail sales which have shown some movement in recent months. As the Indian auto space continues to show signs of recovery, overall sales is expected to be impacted positively. Decrease last year was primarily due to the increasing spread of Covid-19 pandemic. The total standstill that befell the industry resulted in weakening demand for vehicles.
      Suzuki can draw much from its growing base of valued clients for their continued confidence. With industry wide recovery being a slow process, the coming months will be under close scrutiny. While there’s no new product launch around the corner, this isn’t necessarily a niggle. A fair amount of new sales is generated through the distribution of new products and packages of existing products. And with festivities being the flavour of the season, one can expect a bouquet of festive packages.
      Strong demand in market
      Following slow recovery from Covid-19, the auto industry finds itself gripped with another formidable wall that it can’t power through. Supply chain disruptions when it comes to acquiring critical parts/chips. And there’s rather little anyone can do about this other than continue to improve procurement channels as production starts to bridge the supply gap. But this will take a while longer.
      This, in turn, has adversely affected the overall performance of our products.Auto manufacturers continue to participate in the new products development activities but being able to supply new vehicles in timely manner is an altogether diff matter. Auto manufacturers continue to take every opportunity to look for alternatives for the current supply chain crisis. More
