Suzuki SlingShot
SlingShot 125 looks very plain jane and simple in comparison to other bikes available in this segment such as recently launched Pulsar 135. Engine of Suzuki SlingShot 125 looks as straight lift off from the Zeus further giving credibility that this is a 125cc motorcycle that Suzuki has been planning to launch in sometime.
The Suzuki Zeus could not make it because of the new release standards so Suzuki decided to rearrange the engine to comply with Bharat Stage III release norms. In place of fixing the engine in the Zeus, the company has decided to launch a new 125cc bike named as the Sling Shot. The bike has digital instrumentation, front disc brakes with 5 gears. SlingShot 125 has maximum power 8.5 bhp @ 7500 rpm and maximum torque is 10 nm @ 3500 rpm.
Design & Styling of Suzuki SlingShot
In terms of design and styling the SlingShot 125 looks very plain jane and simple in comparison to other bikes available in this segment like recently launched Pulsar 135 and even the smaller segemnt bike - CB Twister looks better than the SlingShot 125. It seems like the Suzuki designers had GS150R in mind while designing the SlingShot 125 as it carries many design and styling elements from the GS150R.
Engine of Suzuki SlingShot
The engine looks like a straight lift off from the Zeus further giving credence that this is indeed a 124cc motorcycle that Suzuki has for sometime, been planning to launch. Once again, it looks like Suzuki has to rely on the rugged and fuel efficient 124cc four stroke engine that is also found on the Zeus and the Heat.
