Suzuki Slingshot

Suzuki India’s latest offering, the SlingShot priced at Rs. 53,000/- (on-road, Mumbai). The bike is manufactured on the Zeus platform.
Slingshot is a commuter bike powered with a 125cc mill. Before going into its specifications, Slingshot is equipped with a longer swing arm added with a adjustable rear suspension and a very light weight alloy, new front fender design, new head lamps, convenient gear position indicator and a small engine fairing to speak more about its style statement. Since this is a commuter, Suzuki had given a bigger and very comfortable seat to make the rider feel more comfortable and relaxed.
