Suzuki Hayate Electric Start Review

Overall Review

Suzuki, a Motor Company well known for its cars and sports bikes, introduced an entry-level bike in India to capture the volume segment of Indian two-wheeler market. It was first showcased at Auto Expo in Delhi and with the catchy commercials flashing on TV this bike was long awaited. Suzuki Hayate electric start was launched as an attempt by Suzuki to challenge other commuters such as Bajaj Discover, Bajaj XCD, Hero Passion and Hero Splendor. Suzuki has been ruling over the Indian Car Market for over three decades now, but could never make an impression on the two-wheeler segment. Hayate, a Japanese word meaning ‘fresh breeze’, is an attempt by Suzuki to bring some freshness in the commuter segment of two-wheeler market, which it failed to do. The Japanese Motor Company has high hopes attached with this bike. Suzuki Hayate drum, priced competitively with other bikes of this segment, can help to boost the sales of Suzuki dramatically. Suzuki’s previous attempts to make an impact on the Indian two-wheeler market with bikes such as Suzuki Slingshot have failed miserably, and Hayate is Suzuki’s one desperate attempt to challenge the rulers of this segment.

Mileage and Fuel Economy

This is the first question asked by any Indian buyer when it comes to commuter bikes, and the answer ought to be well enough. The company claims an average of 65-70 kilometers per liter, which is absolutely not true. Suzuki Hayate electric start gives an average of around 51.9 kilometers per liter while driving in city, while an average of around 53.3 kilometers per liter is given when riding in a highway. Hayate carries just an 8-liter fuel tank, which is definitely not impressive.

Colors

Suzuki Hayate electric start is available in five different shades- Pearl mirage white, Metallic lush green, Pearl mica red, GL sparkle black and Metallic flint grey. Basically manufactured for economical Indian users, the bike is not given aggressive or sporty colors. It has been given a sober and a sedate look.

Acceleration and Pick up

Commuter bikes are definitely not known for their power and speed, but Suzuki Hayate electric start is impressive in this section. The acceleration of the bike is really well and it proves that commuter bikes can also be performers. The 4-speed gearbox is smooth, but the fifth gear is definitely missed. It can reach 0-60 kilometers per hour in about 8 seconds and has a top speed of around 85 kilometers per hour. Although the bike can even go up to 100 kilometers per hour if stretched but the engine becomes noisy and the vibrations are noticeable. At high speeds, it looses out to its rivals such as discover or passion pro, which remain quite stable and grounded.

Appearance

Contrary to its name, Suzuki Hayate electric start reflects no freshness in its looks. It looks almost similar to its predecessor Suzuki Slingshot. Suzuki has used an all-black theme like Slingshot with silencer, engine, alloy wheels and side panels painted black. The fish themed headlight looks impressive. The round headlight has gills on the sides. The tail light and grab rail is quite similar to Honda Shine but looks elegant. It has an all-analog instrument panel with analog speedometer, odometer and fuel gauge with other indicators of high beam and turn indicators placed around. Blue and white instrument cluster looks sporty but the instrument console lacks pass button. Overall, the bike looks simple and sober with no over the top attempt to make the bike look sporty or mean.

Comfort Feature

As soon as you notice the brand name ‘Suzuki’, you know there won’t be any complaint regarding comfort. Comfort is optimum while driving Hayate. Its offers low seating position with comfortable seat. It has a perfectly placed handlebar and perfectly placed foot pegs. The blue and white instrument panel is easy to read. The widespread headlights are quite useful at night.

Dimensions

The bike has an overall length, width and height of 2030 mm, 720 mm, and 1070 mm, which is quite standard for Indian traffic. It offers a ground clearance of 165 mm and weighs just 112 kilograms, which is quite less as compared to passion pro’s 119 kilograms. Its lightweight acts as a boon for a quick and zippy pick-up.

Engine

Suzuki Hayate electric start is fitted with 112.8 cc 4-stroke SOHC engine. It is mono cylinder air-cooled engine. The engine is very stable, at least up to 70-80 kilometers per hour, and throttle is responsive. The 112.8 cc engine generates a maximum power of 8.3 bhp at 7500 rpm and a maximum torque of 8.4 Nm at 5500 rpm. The 4-speed gearbox presents all-down shift pattern.

Wheels

Suzuki Hayate electric start is equipped with 5-spoke black MRF alloy wheels. Tires offer good firm grip on the road. The front tire measures 2.75-17 41P while the rear tire measures 3.00-17 50P. The front tire is loaded with 130 mm drum brake while the rear tire has 110 mm drum brake. It has a wheelbase of 1260 mm., which could have been a little more.

Suspension

Suzuki Hayate electric start, although comfortable while riding, yet it cannot match the quality of Bajaj which uses nitrox suspension. It has a telescopic, coil spring front suspension and swing arm, coil spring rear suspension. The bike is stable even on broken Indian roads.

Handling and Control

The lightweight of Suzuki Hayate electric start is a boon in congested traffic conditions. It has a ground clearance of 165 mm, which works quite well and the bike manages to pass through big speed breakers quite easily. The bike does well in terms of cornering and the MRF tires perform great even on the wet roads.

Pros

. Good looks for a commuter

· Efficiently priced

· Gives good mileage

Cons

· Lack of Suzuki showrooms in different cities

· Absence of disc brakes

· No pass button
