After releasing a teaser on its social media, Suzuki has launched the new Burgman Street EX at Rs 1,12,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi). This new variant joins the standard version and the Ride Connect version in the Burgman Street line-up. Compared to the existing Burgman Street variants, the EX gets a larger 12-inch rear wheel (in place of a 10-incher) with a wider 100/80-12 tyre, a silent starter system and an auto start/stop function. Suzuki has also equipped it with its new Suzuki Eco Performance Alpha (SEP-α), tech that's said to be an advanced version of Suzuki’s fuel-saving Eco Performance Technology.
There are also some minor differences in
the dimensions and weight. The EX weighs 1kg more (at 111 kg) and has a 25mm
longer wheelbase but is 5mm narrower than the standard Burgman. The EX is continued to be powered by the same
124cc, 2-valve, single-cylinder engine that does duty in the rest of the
Burgman Street range. However, the EX puts out 0.1 hp less (8.6 hp) at a slightly
lower rpm while the torque is the same at 10 Nm.
In terms of features, the Burgman Street
EX gets an LED headlight, a Bluetooth-enabled LCD and a USB charging socket.
The new Burgman Street EX can be had in three colours – Platinum Silver, Bronze
and Black. In terms of pricing, the new Burgman Street EX
costs Rs 22,400 more than the standard Burgman and Rs 19,000 more than the Ride
Connect version. As for rivals, the Burgman Street directly competes with the
only other maxi-style scooter, the Aprilia SXR 125.
