Our take on this /// Verdict
The Suzuki SlingShot Plus Disc Self is a commendable addition to the 125cc commuter segment in India. I found the bike to be stylish and feature-packed, making it a great option for urban commuters and youthful riders. The bikes ergonomics, including its comfy seat and roomy footboard, make it excellent for prolonged rides. The 125cc air-cooled engine, producing 8.5 BHP at 7500 RPM and 10 Nm of torque at 3500 RPM, is powerful and fuel-efficient. The five-speed manual transmission and wet multi-plate clutch ensure smooth gear shifts. However, the bike does have some drawbacks, such as vibrations at high speeds and the lack of advanced features like a tachometer or trip meter. Despite these, its build quality, comfortable ride, and practical features like the gear position indicator and adjustable rear suspension make it a competent contender in its segment.
