New Suzuki DF100B is the lightest in its class
Suzuki Marine unveils lightweight and compact DF100B using the 1502CC engine for 25kg savingSuzuki Marine announced the worldwide release of the DF100B at the recent Genoa Boat Show. Based on the 70-90, the compact 100hp has a lot going for it.
The new DF100B 4-stroke outboard lays claim to being the lightest in its class and at just 157kg. This is 25kg lighter than the current DF100A, opening up Suzuki’s mid-range outboard category to even more customers and a wide array of boats.
Along with its compact size, the new model also has the largest gearbox ratio in its class.
Thew DF100B has been crafted from a proven design using the same 1502cc engine unit as the DF70A/80A/90A models.
Among the exclusive features on the new DF100B are a water-detecting system, which alerts the driver with an audible alarm and visual warning if water is detected in the fuel.
Sean Allen, National Marketing Manager, says the DF100B offers better value with its class-leading size.
"Boating made better is what we strive to achieve with our range of 4-stroke outboards and the DF100B delivers a number of advantages to our customers.
"Its compact size and weight makes it an ideal power choice for a wide range of boats without compromising on performance and gives customers a choice of which 100hp outboard model best suits their needs," he said.
The DF100B includes Suzuki's Lean Burn fuel technology, offset driveshaft, maintenance-free timing chains and tilt limit system, all packaged in a stylish body with a large 3D ‘S’ Suzuki emblem.
The DF100B and DF100A will both be available to allow customers to select which outboard best suits their boating requirements. The new DF100B will be available in either Pearl Nebular Black or Cool White finishes.
The engine announcement comes off the back of the recent launch of the flagship DF350A and updated 2017 Suzuki outboard range earlier this 2017 model year. DF100B stock will be available this summer. We're told Suzuki dealers will have pricing now.
