Suzuki Motorcycles India has launched its 155 cc cruiser motorcycle, the Intruder at a price of Rs. 98,340 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Intruder uses the engine and the underpinnings of the popular Suzuki Gixxer but of course, it does get a few changes, apart from the design.

Highlights

  • The Suzuki Intruder has the same underpinnings as the Gixxer
  • It shares the engine and some components with the Gixxer
  • The Intruder 150 will be going up against the Bajaj Avenger Street 150
Suzuki Motorcycles India entered the 150 cc cruiser motorcycle segment in India by launching the Intruder and has priced it at Rs. 98,340 (ex-showroom Delhi). Not to be mistaken with the Intruder M1800, which is a 1,800 cc behemoth, this one is a 155 cc model, which uses the same engine and underpinnings as the highly popular Suzuki Gixxer. The Intruder, no doubt, has been inspired by the bigger Intruder M 1800. The Suzuki boffins have tried to create the same bulky look as the Intruder's bigger sibling. The looks can divide opinion, but like it or not, you cannot ignore it for sure. Suzuki Motorcycles India's research says that there is pretty good demand for affordable 150 cc cruisers and hence, the Intruder saw the light of the day.

The Intruder does get its cruiser scheme of things right. The footpegs are set forward which give a relaxed riding position and the overall design too, is that of a typical cruiser. The fuel tank gets massive shrouds to add muscle and there are a lot of body panels on the side and at the rear as well.

As we mentioned earlier, the underpinnings of the Intruder have been borrowed from the Gixxer, but Suzuki says that the bike, in essence, is all-new. The 155cc, singe-cylinder engine is carburetted, for now, and remains the same as the Gixxer. It makes 14 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. There are a few underlying changes though. The gear ratios are different and the intake and the air box are bigger in size when compared to the Gixxer. The exhaust too is a different unit than that of the Gixxer. Thanks to the body panels and the changes in the engine, the Intruder weighs 8 kg more than the Gixxer at 148 kg. The claimed fuel efficiency figure for the Intruder is 44 kmpl.

Suzuki says that currently, India is the biggest market for the company and the coming to the Intruder specifically; the 155 cc cruiser bike will be made in India and be exported to many markets across the world.
At a price of Rs. 98340, the Intruder about Rs. 18,340 more expensive than its only rival in the segment, the Bajaj Avenger Street 150, priced at Rs. 80,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
