Top 3 reasons to buy the Suzuki Smash Fi

Suzuki Philippines Incorporated has recently launched the fuel-injected variant of the Smash motorcycle. The brand is even going as far as staging a 12-leg caravan to showcase its latest offering.

But marketing and promotional programs aside, is buying the Suzuki Smash Fi worth it? Well, that’s what we’re going to find out. Join us as we list down the top three reasons why you should consider getting the latest iteration of the number-one-selling underbone leisure motorcycle.

1. Modern-looking underbone

The Suzuki Smash Fi is slapped with modern-looking fairings that makes the motorcycle look somewhat aggressive and athletic. Sure, it’s no V-Strom 250 SX or a GSX-R1000R, but compared to other bikes in the segment, the Smash Fi somehow stands out.

Admirable is its sharp front end that wears a headlamp with a brighter and wider range, two turn signals located on the far end of the front fairing, and panels with just the right amount of contours and angles to round off its handsome fascia.

Still on the fore of the Suzuki Smash Fi is a grille-like appointment that kid of looks like the grille of a car.

The mid-portion of the Suzuki Smash Fi dons seamless coverings that are highlighted with bold and aggressive-looking decals.

Its rear end is adorned with an angled grab bar, a tapered light cluster, and a black rear fender.

Overall, the appearance of the Suzuki Smash Fi conveys a modern vibe, that will most likely appeal to motorcycle buyers of this generation.

2. Fuel-efficient ride

Powering the Suzuki Smash Fi is a fuel-efficient engine with a displacement of 113 cubic centimeters. It is mated to a four-speed constant mesh transmission system and is able to produce approximately 9.2 horsepower with 9.10 Newton-meters of torque.

Now according to Suzuki Philippines Incorporated, the said setup clocks in at 68 kilometers per liter based on World Motorcycle Test Cycle standards.

Helping the engine — Suzuki pointed out — is the Smash Fi’s aerodynamic body.

On that note, motorcycle buyers are assured that they can go further thanks to the efficient engine at the core of the Suzuki Smash Fi.

3. Durable daily driver

The Suzuki Smash Fi is a durable daily driver, which is why it is one of the top choices for commuters as well as riders who use their motorcycles for taxi and delivery services.

The Suzuki Smash Fi is backed by reliable Japanese engineering with components — inside and outside — that are built to last.

Designed to survive a beating, the Suzuki Smash Fi is fitted with an oil-damped, telescopic front fork with coil springs. Likewise, its rear end is slapped with a swing arm-type suspension, which is also oil-damped and with a coil spring.

Conclusion

While there are definitely many other reasons to get the Suzuki Smash Fi, there are just the top three motivations why most Filipino motorcycle buyers decide to go with the model.

And if you are also considering getting one, the Suzuki Smash Fi will set you back P66,400.
