The Suzuki Raider R150 has been a crowd-favorite since it debuted back in 2004. Even then, it already featured a slim chassis with a punchy DOHC, carbureted engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Many Filipinos quickly gravitated toward the Raider as a platform for racing and modification.
The latest generation of the ‘Underbone King’ comes in the form of two variants: the Raider R150 Pro and the Raider R150 Blade Edition, with the former being more equipped with tech-heavy features.
The Pro differs from the Blade Edition through the addition of front ABS, a keyless ignition, smartphone connectivity via the Suzuki Ride Connect app, and a built-in USB-A charging port, among others. They both share the same 147cc fuel-injected engine and six-speed manual gearbox.
