Suzuki launches two big hitting featherweight outboards – the new DF30A and DF25A

Suzuki has announced the addition of yet another two new lightweight and fuel-efficient outboard motors to its range – the DF30A and DF25A. Both of these new models punch well above their weight in terms of delivering high-end specification and performance from small portable units.

These new models have been eagerly anticipated by many markets of the world and at just 62kg they will be the most lightest in their respective classes. This is a phenomenal achievement considering the level of specification that these new outboards offer boaters.

Battery-less Fuel Injection

Both of these outboards are based on a totally new in-line three-cylinder block with a displacement of 490cm3. The engine also benefits from Suzuki’s revolutionary new generation battery-less electronic fuel injection system helping to deliver quicker starts, smoother operation and better acceleration in any conditions.

Easy Start Recoil

In addition to the fuel injection system helping to deliver quicker and easier starts, the new DF30A and DF25A also feature a very light recoil starter that requires less pull strength, making them much easier to use.

Suzuki Lean Burn Control System

The battery-less electronic fuel injection system also allows these versatile little engines to benefit from Suzuki’s Lean Burn Fuel Control System. The DF25A is up to 15%*1 more fuel efficient when compared with the current DF25. This intelligent fuel management system predicts fuel needs by monitoring engine performance and operating conditions to deliver a leaner fuel/air mixture to the engine. The result is a remarkable improvement in fuel economy over the outboard’s wide operating rev range. This means that both fuel consumption and emissions are reduced without affecting the superb performance of the engine.

These outstanding engine efficiencies are further enhanced by the introduction of roller rocker arms, an offset crankshaft and direct intake and cover ventilation.
