Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia has recently launched a new bike for their line-up that is the Suzuki Shogun Axelo. This bike is equipped with 4-stroke 125cc engine that is said to focus for power and fuel efficiency. The compression ratio for this bike is quite high at 9.6:1, compared to Yamaha Lagenda 115ZR at 9.3:1 and Honda Wave RS at 9.0:1. Higher compression ratio can give higher power without the additional displacement needed. Simply said, it means it gives more powerful kick at each of the power stroke.
Suzuki Axelo comes in two model Axelo S and Axelo R. The latter (Axelo R) features manual hand clutch version which is a great addition to this line-up since it provides better traction control for sportier riding style. The Axelo S comes in automatic clutch for easier operation in city driving. One more great features available from this Axelo is the usage of rear disc brake for both models. This will add more safety for riders as disc brake are definitely better than drum brakes in terms of power and maintenance. The Axelo R as I can see is only available in blue colour, while the Axelo S version has three colours to choose from that is red, blue and black.
