The suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front while the rear wheel gets mono-shock absorbers. The kerb weight of 145 kgs and ground clearance of 150 mm offers the driver utmost control over sharp corners. The Suzuki Bandit 150 gets disc brakes at both the wheel ends and the company not even offer ABS as an option. It offers a claimed mileage of 45-55 kmpl in the International market.
