The PROgressive Edge: Suzuki Launches the 5th-Generation Raider R150 Series in the Philippines
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Suzuki Philippines Inc. | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
The new chapter is here for the Underbone King as its much-awaited upgrade sets foot in the Philippines this November 11, 2025. Prepare for the next era of supremacy and experience the power that you crave as Suzuki elevates the throne with the New Raider Series, further solidifying its reign as the unrivaled Underbone King.
With over 2.5 million motorcycles sold (worldwide) since its first introduction in 2004, the Suzuki Raider R150 transformed the Sport Underbone category in the Philippines. Forged with the pure DNA of the track-proven Suzuki racing machines, its unmatched speed, commanding engine performance, and aggressive, sleek styling have won the hearts of many. Now on its 5th generation, the Underbone leader introduces the Raider R150 Blade Edition and the Raider PRO, completing the strong line-up of the undisputed 150cc contender.
Gliding through with its air-slicing, aggressive design promising superior aerodynamic performance, the All-New Raider R150 Blade Edition is ready to take a leap. Now with Suzuki’s new Slipper Clutch Assist System for smoother, drag-free shifting and a more rider-friendly experience on both street and track, this new Raider is sure to take the throne to another level.
Reinforcing the Raider legacy of unmatched performance and innovation, the Raider PRO arrives with a PROgressive edge—an evolution driven by the voice of the Raider community. The Raider PRO integrates advanced features, modern technology, and improved rider ergonomics to meet the demands of today’s generation, while staying true to the DNA of the Underbone King. It is not just an upgrade—it is a progressive leap forward in both performance, safety, and rider experience, donning an Anti-lock Braking System, Keyless Ignition, a Full Digital Panel with Smartphone Connectivity, and a revolutionary wider, longer-range LED headlight for added safety.
Design Concept
The New Raider Series takes a monumental leap to set the bar higher with its redesigned front trim, elevated seat line, and dynamic chassis to evoke Suzuki’s higher displacement models. Destined to soar high, the new Raider Series is accentuated with plane-inspired fins and winglets to arouse sleek agility on the road. All upgrades are characterized by functional improvements leveling up the sporty look, making every ride feel like a race. The striking colored wheels and claw mark decals capture the wild, untamed spirit of the Raider in the Raider R150 Blade Edition, while the big bike silhouette from the GSX-R1000R and plane-like inspired details from GSX-S1000 on the chassis are apparent on the Raider PRO’s enhanced functional components.
These models are not meant to follow the pace; the Raider is set to dictate the standard once more for riders to own the road.
Engine Concept
Powered by Suzuki’s signature 4-stroke, DOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 150cc fuel-injected engine with Suzuki Eco Performance, it delivers the highest power output among the 150cc models in the Philippines (Max Power of 13.5kW/10,000rpm | Max Torque 13.8Nm/8,500rpm)—making it the ultimate choice for speed enthusiasts who crave responsive, sustained power across the RPM range.
New! Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)
A new feature added for a smoother performance, the Suzuki Clutch Assist System uses a two-part design to improve both control and comfort. Its slipper clutch function partially disengages the clutch during hard downshifts, reducing engine braking for smoother, more stable deceleration.
Simultaneously, its assist function increases the clutch’s clamping force upon acceleration, allowing the use of lighter springs, resulting in a significantly lighter clutch lever pull, drastically reducing left hand fatigue in traffic or on long rides.
Liquid Cooled Engine
The Raider R150 employs a liquid-cooled engine for greater cooling performance and power consistency in severe engine environments.
It has a high compression ratio with a bore/stroke ratio of 62.0 mm × 48.8 mm; the engine has a narrow setting angle and high valve diameter. In combination with the optimized combustion chamber, the engine achieves a compression ratio of 11.5, ensuring both high efficiency and superb power. The intake air flow has been optimized using analytical technology developed for racing machines. This approach enabled the adoption of a larger valve diameter and throttle body to enable high rpms and power. The engine features a large throttle body with an internal diameter of 32 mm, one of the highest in the 150cc class. This large-diameter throttle valve helps to realize superb intake efficiency to enable high rpms and power.
The engine features a single-cylinder engine plated with Suzuki Composite Electro-chemical Material (SCEM), which is also found on a wide range of larger displacement models of Suzuki. Adopted in place of a steel sleeve, this compact and lightweight cylinder plating helps to prevent thermal deformation and reduce friction. As a result, the engine can maintain power for longer under high-temperature conditions while also ensuring even greater overall durability.
New! Direct Current Power System
One of the major upgrades on the new Raider models is the upgraded power generation system from alternating current (AC) to a more stable direct current (DC) voltage. Switching to a DC power system provides a more stable voltage for consistent performance, especially for LEDs and ECUs. It improves battery charging efficiency, enhances compatibility with modern accessories like USB ports, keyless systems, and GPS units, and simplifies maintenance by reducing issues common in AC systems.
New! USB Charging Port
The new Raider models are equipped with a type A USB outlet that is lit by a blue backlight for easy connection at night and under other poor visibility conditions. This comes built in with the Raider PRO while available as a Suzuki Genuine Accessory for the Raider Blade Edition.
Next Level Features for the Raider PRO
New! Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
To provide better safety, the Raider PRO now comes with front ABS for better control during sudden braking. The system monitors the wheel speed and is programmed to adjust the braking force to a controllable level of traction. The ABS control unit features a lightweight design on the Raider PRO that helps minimize the increase in vehicle weight.
New! Full Digital Instrument Panel with Smartphone Connectivity
Another next level feature for the Raider PRO is its full digital instrument panel with smartphone connectivity via the Suzuki Ride Connect App (downloadable from Google Playstore and Apple Appstore). Aiming to enhance safety, convenience, and user experience, this features call and message indicators as well as turn-by-turn navigation—a first in the 150cc underbone motorcycle in the country.
New! Keyless Ignition System
The Raider PRO features a keyless ignition for a safer, smarter, and more convenient experience; just use the remote to start the engine and off you go. It offers superior security with advanced anti-theft protection to keep your Raider PRO safe. It also has an Answer-back function to help you locate your bike in a crowded parking lot within a 20-meter range.
New! LED Headlight
The Raider PRO 150’s advanced LED headlamp prioritizes rider safety by delivering superior brightness and clearer road visibility, especially in dark or low-light conditions. Its DC power supply ensures stable illumination even at low RPMs, helping riders see and be seen more effectively—greatly reducing the risk of accidents with enhanced protection every ride.
Chassis and Dimension
Both the Raider Blade Edition and Raider PRO feature a new advanced twin spar frame which provides a sophisticated balance between increased rigidity and lightness (or suitable replacement for ‘y’) and lower frame weight with the same superior maneuverability and stability as the Suzuki GSX-R racing models.
As a signature of the Raider breed, the bikes boast large-diameter petal discs (290mm) for performance-oriented applications, offering improved cooling, reduced weight, and a sporty appearance which performs better than circular discs which may lag in high performance use. Contributing to optimum power output throughout the RPM, the exhaust pipe was widened from 25.4mm to 31.8mm midway along its length to maximize power delivery in both low and high rpm ranges.
Other Convenient and Safety Features
Both models feature a key-less storage space which you can conveniently open through a push mechanism for easy access to temporary storage while on board the bike. The available space is large enough to store a wallet, cloth, gloves, and other articles with ease with a maximum space capacity of 961ml and load weight of 1kg.
The new Raider Series is the first in the Underbone 150cc class to be equipped with the Suzuki Easy Start System like the new GSX-R1000. Just one push, release and the starter will be activated, no need to press down on the starter button until the engine starts. The Raider also has a Trip Over Sensor which automatically shuts off the engine if the bike leans past a certain critical angle or falls over.
As added safety, the front and rear turn signals are mounted on separate bars to make them more visible. These separate-type turn signals are also easy-to-maintain especially when replacing the bulbs.
Always a favorite for modification, the possibilities are endless with the New Raider Series. The Raider Blade Edition is available in 4 colors – Metallic Matte Blue, Pearl Bright Ivory, Candy matte Bordeaux Red and Metallic Matte Fibroin Gray at an SRP of Php 130,000 while the more premium Raider PRO is available in Metallic Matte Platinum Silver and Candy Matte Bordeaux Red at an SRP of Php 146,400.
This is more than an upgrade; it is a progression in the Underbone class. The New Raider Series shatters previous limits, setting a new standard for speed, safety and connectivity in its segment. This is Suzuki’s promise of advanced technology and unyielding performance that meets every rider on the street, the track and everywhere in between.
