Suzuki Burgman 150: New Scooter Aims to Challenge Honda PCX and Yamaha Nmax
Jakarta, Indonesia – Suzuki is poised to enter the competitive 150cc scooter market in Indonesia with a new model, the UFR150, designed to rival the popular Honda PCX160 and Yamaha Nmax 155. The scooter was registered with the DKI Jakarta Samsat (Motor Vehicle Registration) in early February 2026, signaling an impending launch. Whereas the model may be branded as the Burgman 150 upon release, it originates from a collaboration with Chinese manufacturer Haojue.
NJKB and Potential Pricing
The UFR150 is listed with a Nilai Jual Kendaraan Bermotor (NJKB), or Motor Vehicle Sales Value, of IDR 18,000,000 (approximately $1,150 USD as of February 25, 2026). detikoto notes that the NJKB is not the final on-the-road price, but rather a base value used for calculating vehicle taxes. However, it provides an initial indication of the scooter’s price positioning.
Design and Features
The UFR150, potentially the Suzuki Burgman 150, boasts a modern design with a rounded body characteristic of larger scooters. Key features include:
- Full LED lighting, including projector headlights and Daytime Running Lights (DRL).
- A fully digital instrument panel.
- Disc brakes front and rear.
- 14-inch wheels.
- An 8-liter fuel tank.
Engine and Performance
Powering the scooter is a 149cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection). It produces a maximum power output of 10.6 kW (14.2 hp) and 14.2 Nm of torque. detikoto reports these specifications.
Safety Technology
The scooter is equipped with advanced safety features, including:
- Traction Control System (TCS) to minimize wheel slippage during acceleration.
- Dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for real-time tire pressure monitoring.
Market Positioning and Competition
Suzuki’s entry into the 150cc “gambot” (large-body) scooter segment aims to provide a strong challenge to the established Honda PCX160 and Yamaha Nmax 155. VOI suggests the Burgman 150 will emphasize luxury and a modern aesthetic. The Indonesian scooter market is predicted to become more competitive with this new offering, providing consumers with increased choice.
Suzuki-Haojue Collaboration
The UFR150 is a product of the partnership between Suzuki and Haojue, a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer. Suzuki and Haojue have previously collaborated on projects, such as the Suzuki Inazuma 250. VOI highlights this existing relationship.
