Suzuki Intruder 150 Summary

The Intruder is Suzuki’s 155cc modern cruiser which derives its name as well as styling from the big-daddy M1800R which, among other things, had the widest rear tyre on a production motorcycle when it was launched.

The Intruder shares its powertrain with the Gixxer – a 155cc single-cylinder air-cooled unit. Its BS4 version already had an option of fuel-injection which received a few more engine upgrades to comply with BS6 norms that came into effect on 1 April 2020. These changes resulted in a slight drop in its power figures over the BS4 model which now stand at 13.4bhp at 8,000rpm and 13.8Nm at 6,000rpm. The engine comes mated to a five-speed gearbox.

The 140mm wide rear tyre on this motorcycle gives it a muscular aesthetic appeal and that feeling is echoed when you sit on the motorcycle – those tank extensions make the Intruder feel a whole lot wider than it is, and it thus feels like a whole lot more motorcycle as well. The seat is also a lot wider than a standard seat, but it is very low as well, offering confidence and comfort to the cruiser aficionado.

The Intruder does look odd from certain angles – that tail lamp and surround echoes the lines of the GSX1300R Hayabusa, but most people will not pick that bike for design inspiration, to begin with. The exhaust design looks great from a distance but up close the daylight behind the mesh at the tip doesn’t look good. However, if a modern 150cc cruiser is what you’re looking for, you can’t currently do better than an Intruder on both looks and handling.

The Intruder has three paint options: Silver, Black/Red and Black/Silver. Considering the purpose and displacement of the motorcycle, this Suzuki goes up against the Bajaj Avenger 160 Street.

Suzuki Intruder 150 Review

  • Good Things

    • Agile and nimble riding characteristics
    • Comfortable riding stance even for short riders 
    • Rev-friendly motor borrowed from the Gixxer
  • Could be Better

    • Too much plastic cladding can look tacky
    • Odd looking tail section doesn’t sync with the front
    • Rear suspension is setup slightly on the stiffer side

BikeWale's Take

An attention seeker, surprisingly eager to attack corners to the point of scrapping footpegs, ergonomics designed keeping in mind the average height of Indian buyers and a beautiful motor that is always willing to be throttled to the max rpm. While looks are subjective, it is one of the few chinks in the armor that the Suzuki Intruder 150 has to deal with. Overall, a good cruiser motorcycle to consider.

Suzuki Intruder 150 Expert Opinion

Street bikes may be all that jazz today, but there are some Indians who have a thing for raked-out front, low saddle height and a motorcycle that is an extension of their personality.

Introduction

Pros- Great handler, begs for attention, ABS is standard 

Cons- Pricey, firm ride setup

Street bikes may be all that jazz today, but there are some Indians who have a thing for raked-out front, low saddle height and a motorcycle that is an extension of their personality. This is why the cruisers still have a market in India. Unfortunately, most authentic cruisers come with price tags that make them inaccessible to a middle-class guy. Insofar, there was just one manufacturer who offered entry-level budget cruisers - Bajaj. Now, Suzuki didn’t want Bajaj to rule the segment all alone. So it launched a cruiser, the Intruder 150 which is supposed to be a derivative of a legendary and far more expensive Suzuki cruiser - the Intruder 1800. But does it make sense to associate yourself to this legendary brand? We find out! 

Quality

The brand Suzuki and quality usually go hand in hand. The folks at Hamamatsu are known for attention to detail and it’s no different with the Intruder 150. The quality of the panels and also the paint is really good. In fact, the finish near the instrument cluster and the exhaust is one of the best in its class. The large body panels have been neatly packed, just like the instrument cluster. The grey panel runs across the centre of the bike and complements the blacked-out design but in a subtle way. Rest of the bits like the switch gear, alloy wheels and a few other cycle parts are from the Gixxer. 

Comfort

The Intruder 150 gets low saddle-height, forward-set footpegs and large rider’s seat. These aspects have resulted in a riding experience that blows you away. Comfortable ergonomics backed by a firm seat makes long hours on the saddle an enjoyable one. It’s the same story with the pillion seat. While it doesn’t offer the width, it does the job of offering good support and comfort. Plus, the large grab rail doesn’t just work aesthetically, but practically too. 

Performance

Before we dig a bit deeper here, you need to know that the Intruder 150 is really a Gixxer in disguise. That means, same chassis, same swingarm and even the same rake angle. It is powered by the same 155cc single-cylinder engine. In short, it’s a cruiser with a streetfighter soul and that is supposed to make things interesting, right? Well, it does and we’re glad! 

The Gixxer is known for its outstanding performance and it’s the same with the Intruder. There’s a good amount of refinement and smoothness. It gets a bigger airbox to take care of the extra weight. This motor behaves sane until 3000rpm, to keep things calm for city riding. But post that, with a bit of a grunt and linear power delivery, the bike feels lively and fast. As the revs begin to reach 9000rpm, that’s when the buzz starts to creep in on the handlebar and the footpegs. The five-speed gearbox isn’t the best one in the 150cc segment, but it does the job of keeping things exciting. Even with the extra bike weight, it is possible to ride at 40kmph in fifth gear. 

When it comes to handling, the Intruder impressed us in every single aspect. It wants to be taken to the corners every single time and the credit for this goes to the chassis underneath. It holds to the line very well and that’s an uncommon thing amongst cruisers. The suspension setup is on the stiffer side and that might pose a problem for someone with a weak back in every day riding. The single-channel ABS that work on the front wheel, comes as standard and works pretty efficiently. There’s a good amount of feedback and bite from the front brake at low speeds, but not very effective during spirited riding.  

Technology

The Intruder is also available with fuel-injection technology. But for that you need to shell out a couple of thousands extra. It gets LED position and tail light. The fully-digital instrument cluster is borrowed from the Gixxer. The information is well laid out and easy to read, even at night. 

Fuel Efficiency

The Suzuki Intruder 150 returned 47.2 kmpl in our fuel-efficiency test. So with a fuel tank capacity of 11-litres, this Suzuki cruiser can be ridden for close to 500kms in one tank full. 

Fitness for purpose

The Intruder 150 checks all the right boxes involved with cruising. The comfortable riding position, the accessible seat height and the potent motor makes living with the Intruder 150 an easy affair. Plus, with a tank range of 500kms, rider will need to stop less for refuels. 

Our take

The Suzuki Intruder 150 looks nothing like its rival and that’s its strong point. Armed with a design language derived from the mighty M1800R, the Intruder 150 manages to turn heads wherever it goes. It even get stares from the fairer sex and that’s something. The all-round chassis coupled with a proven 155cc motor, makes the Intruder 150 a very tempting product. Besides that, it got ABS power and that’s a very confidence-inspiring feature to have. With a price tag of Rs 1.17 lakhs on-road Mumbai, the Intruder 150 is the best entry-level cruiser in the market.

      Such a fabulous bike that you never want to get off it. Especially the shockers are amazing. The only downside could be the brightness of the headlight. Absolutely a good one for medium to tall riders. I am still not sure why a kick rod doesn’t exist for this bike.
      The bike has a trustworthy back disc brake. Also, the stability and ground clearance is very good. No vibrations at all until 90kmph.

      Must buy for luxury feeling lacks in cc

      Ankit Kumar

      The best thing about the bike is its looks when you are on road it gets everyone's attention from young ones to old.
      I like bike pickup while riding and its suspensions are very good as the city I live in does not have good roads.
      I have two other bikes from other companies but this bike suspension is the best among all of them.
      Servicing this bike costs 1200 -1500 maximum and I always opted an agency for servicing needs
      Cons: only one thing can be improved as it costs 1.25lakh+ so must have at least 200cc engine.

      Excellent revving for 150 cc segment. Though some plastic classing is there, the look is appealing. No vibrations until 85kms..Mileage is coming to me for 40 kms in city riding conditions.
