Suzuki Intruder 150

Detailed Review by Maxabout Team

Overview

Suzuki Motorcycle India, Private Limited, Suzuki Japan's wholly-owned Indian affiliate, introduced the Intruder in 2017. Suzuki, a newcomer to the Indian auto industry, wants to startle shoppers with an extreme style inspired by the larger M800. Like it or dislike it, the Intruder is undeniably eye-catching. In terms of engine, suspension, and chassis, the Suzuki Gixxer 150cc now delivers higher fuel efficiency, thanks to the installation of fuel injection to the engine to fulfil BS6 emission requirements. To differentiate itself from the competition, the new 150cc Suzuki Intruder features graceful cruiser traits and high-end ergonomics.

Suzuki Intruder 150 Design and Style

The Suzuki Intruder 150 has enough visual heft to catch the attention of onlookers. The design is bulgy and curved, but it is contemporary. As you go closer to this bike, you can smell the plushness. A wide cowl surrounds a triangular-shaped headlamp with LED DRLs at the front. Next up is a bulbous tank with huge extensions and a curving and broader seat for maximum comfort. The seat's material, size, and design are all satisfactory. The bike gets a deluxe Intruder emblem on the side, which adds shine to its overall visual attractiveness. A dual-exhaust arrangement is near the end for increased exhaust efficiency. The exhausts are distinctively designed and adorned with silver plastic wrapping, lending the bike an upscale appearance. At the back, a modest LED tail lamp adds a delicate finishing touch. The LED lights are arranged horizontally so that they do not interfere with the overall appearance of the Intruder 150.

Suzuki Intruder 150 Engine and Gearbox

The Intruder 150cc cruiser is Suzuki's replacement cruiser model for the Gixxer 150, and it shares the same 150cc engine. In terms of engine characteristics, the Intruder obtains the same combination of impressive performance, decent economy, and superb refinement as the Suzuki Gixxer 150cc model. It is, however, not quite comparable to the engine specifications of the Suzuki Gixxer. The engine in the Suzuki Intruder 150cc can produce a maximum output of 13.6 HP at 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.8 Nm at 6000 rpm. The Suzuki Intruder 150 engine is coupled to a 5-speed transmission. The Suzuki Intruder 150 differs from the standard model by having a larger air box and a completely modified exhaust system. The engine of the bike is powered by SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance), also known as Suzuki's next-generation engine, which is noted for its low fuel consumption and superior acceleration.

Suzuki Intruder 150 Suspension, Brakes and Tyres

The Suzuki Intruder 150 Fi is built on a single down-tube chassis, with telescopic forks in the front and a swing arm at the rear handling suspension duties. A 266 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear provide a stopping force. It comes with a front 100/80-17 section tyre and a rear 140/60-17 section tyre. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) that comes standard on the Intruder 150 gives the rider and pillion confidence and safety. It automatically regulates braking force and prevents wheel locking on slippery surfaces, bumpy road shapes, and even when stopping quickly. There are discs in the front and back that help with safety.

Instrument Console of Suzuki Intruder 150

The Intruder 150 receives a clever full-digital instrument cluster with the same RPM indicator as to the Hayabusa. The LCD display is relatively tiny and displays all the important readings that the rider needs to know during and after a ride. When the ignition is turned on, the text "READY GO" shows after the display animation concludes. The display is small, and you must figure out what/how/where the presented information is the first time you see it. There are much too many plastic panels (20 in all), which may cause purchasers anxiety. Given the conditions of Indian roads, it will only be a matter of time before these panels rattle or possibly fracture.
