Suzuki Raider R150 Blade Edition
While the Pro version has a more “macho” look, the Suzuki Raider R150 Blade Edition offers riders a sleek motorcycle for everyday use.
Photo by Juan Paulo PapaSome of the features offered by the variant (which is also available in the Pro model) include the Suzuki Clutch Assist System. This improves control and comfort by partially disengaging the clutch during hard downshifts. The result is reduced engine braking for better deceleration.
Further, the said feature reduces left-hand fatigue in traffic or long rides by increasing the clutch’s clamping force upon acceleration.

Speaking of modern accessories, the Suzuki Raider R150 Blade Edition — for a limited time — is offered with a Type-A USB port.
It has a sticker price worth P130,000.
