Suzuki Continues its 4-Stroke Revolution with Two New Generation Portable Outboards
Jan 2009
Suzuki has kicked-off the New Year by launching two new generation portable 4- stroke outboards – the all-new 8 and 9.9 horsepower models.
These new small engines come hot off the heels of the successful launch of Suzuki's new generation DF90/80/70 horsepower outboards in August 2008. Like the DF90/80/70, these two new engines have been specifically designed with the European boating market in mind, so it is fitting that they were launched to the world at the Düsseldorf boat show on January 17th 2009.
These new engines are the latest in a long line of lightweight, compact and fuel- efficient 4-stroke outboard motors from Suzuki, which has completely redesigned the DF9.9, giving it an all-new 208cm³ OHC 4-stroke engine. The same engine is also utilised in the DF8, which is a new addition to Suzuki's 4-stroke line up.
Suzuki's engineers have successfully designed a lighter, more compact DF8/9.9 that weighs 4.5kg less than the original DF9.9.
The lightweight and compact design of these new outboards gives them an excellent power to weight ratio as well as helping to make them extremely fuel-efficient. Plus, both models come with an innovative and stylish multi-function tiller handle that has the gear shift, throttle operation and throttle friction adjustment all within convenient and easy reach on the tiller handle itself. This is particularly useful when the outboard is being used as a secondary engine on a small yacht or powerboat as all the functions can be easily accomplished without the user having to remove their hand from the handle.
All of these features make these new outboards easy to use, easy to transport and perfect for powering small craft or as a secondary engine on larger boats. This means that they will be a huge hit with boaters when they become available this summer.
Mr Masuda, Director, Motorcycle Export and Marine for Suzuki International Europe presented these new engines to the world and proudly said, "We are honoured to host the world launch of these two new engines in Germany. I must pay tribute to the Suzuki engineers who have created two more technically advanced outboards to meet the needs of the market. I am sure these outboards will be a huge success and help us achieve our goal of becoming the number one 4-stroke brand."
