The Suzuki Heat



The Suzuki Heat is Suzuki's entry-level bike. With the 125cc Heat, Suzuki is trying to woo the economy-segment buyers with a more powerful bike.

The Heat is equipped with a single cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a displacement of 124cc. On the suspension aspect, telescopic coil springs do duty at the front while the rear suspension is taken care by swing-arm type coil springs.

The Heat comes with a large 12-litre fuel tank with a 2.1 reserve. The idea is to ensure longer ride without refueling in rural areas where petrol pumps are sparsely situated. On the styling front, flashy decals and stylish graphics run the length of the bike and the multi-reflector headlamp enhances visibility.
