Suzuki SlingShot Disc
About
The Suzuki SlingShot is a 124cc single-cylinder motorcycle designed with the commuter in mind. It features a 5-speed gearbox and produces 8.5 HP at 7500 rpm along with 10 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. The bike is known for its smooth engine and minimal vibrations across most of the rev range, making it comfortable for city rides. It comes with an upright sitting position, a comfortable seat, and a well-sculpted knee-recess, which helps in reducing rider fatigue. The bike has a ground clearance of 160mm and a kerb weight of 129 kg, including the fuel in its 12-liter tank. The SlingShot also features split-end 5-spoke alloy wheels and a stylish design that includes a bikini fairing with sharp headlight and turn-indicators. Although it lacks some features like disc brakes initially and has higher seat height compared to some competitors, it remains a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and fuel-efficient commuter bike.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Suzuki SlingShot, particularly the disc brake variant, is a competent contender in the 125cc commuter segment in India. I found the bike to be well-engineered, with a smooth and refined 125cc 4-stroke SOHC engine that produces 8.5 HP at 7500 rpm and 10 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. The 5-speed gearbox is butter-smooth, making gear shifts positive and effortless. The bike excels in city riding conditions, handling stop-go traffic with ease and minimal effort from the rider. However, it lacks disc brakes as a standard feature initially, though later models were expected to include this. The upright sitting position and comfortable seat add to its appeal, making it a great option for daily commuting. Despite some drawbacks like vibrations at high speeds and the absence of certain features like a tachometer or trip meter, the SlingShot is a reliable and comfortable choice for those prioritizing fuel efficiency and practicality.
Price
The Suzuki SlingShot, when it was available, was priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the alloy wheel variant was around Rs 45,911, while the spoke wheel variant was priced at Rs 43,945. On-road prices would typically include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could add up to around Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000, making the on-road price approximately Rs 50,911 to Rs 50,945 for the alloy variant and Rs 48,945 to Rs 50,945 for the spoke variant. However, its important to note that the SlingShot has been discontinued, so these prices are historical and for reference only.

The Suzuki SlingShot is known for its impressive fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. The bike claims a mileage of around 45 to 50 kmpl, which is quite commendable in its segment. This makes it an economical choice for daily commuting, helping users save on fuel costs over time. The high torque at low and mid-range RPMs also contributes to better fuel economy in city riding conditions.
