      i took a short ride when one of my uncle bought it... its a light weight bike with good balancing and very comfortable seating position... plus you get everything with it.. all alloys.. front discs... good mileage.. and pocket friendly..

        It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch

            But what exact info is required? It would be better if you could mention the headings, like (mileage, handling, ride quality, etc.)

            I remember, it has some Suzuki based XTP (Xtra Torque performance). Result: 10 NM Torque @ just some 3000 rpm... Smooth cruising, some gear overtaking and city commuting.
            Negative result: It doesn't have much maximum power, compared to rest of the segment.

            I never test rode it, this is just a magazine's opinion.

                    Contact kkrk2, he has a Zeus.
                    If your friend is intent on buying one, ask him to enquire at Suzuki, since I have heard that they are coming out with a newer model soon.

                      suzuki Zeus..... its a workhorse dude, dont expect it to give you some race track experience.

                      It has 8.5 bhp @ some 6-7000 rpm.

                      running on 18" wheels, it leaves with too less options of going tubeless.

                      the fuel consumption is around 60-65 km to a liter.
                      oops, did I tell u that it has the same heart as that of Suzuki Heat 125.
                      Suzuki Heat 125 + Electric start+aluminum pegs+rpm indicator+gear shift indicator+5amp battery+ few stickers gives u Zeus.

                      Zeus used to come in three versions,,, Zeus Spokes, zeus Alloys and Zeus Disc.
                      of late, they have phased out Heat 125 and now with some non -functioning Mods like, all black Engine, new stickers and changed Front and rear indicators, Zeus disc is on sale. Priced at 46,151.00 ex showroom in Faridabad, it Ideally is not a very sensible buy if you are asking for some good power , but if reliability and ruggedness is what you are asking for, go for it blindfolded. It has the alloys from Enkei, and amazing are they. also, most of the consumables have a comparitive longer life. Chainsets and all are good, but unfortunately you would not get Zuki spares anywhere else but a Service centre. any more info required...feel free to get in touch.

                      P.S: am no longer working for Zuki so the opinion expressed here is pretty unbiased. hehehehehe
                      Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!

                      Save the Tigers! Only 1411 (excluding ME) are left!

                        Pros :
                        Superb Engine/smooth gearbox
                        Excellent build quality
                        Very torquey, effortless riding with load (segment best)
                        City mileage 45+kmpl
                        Highway cruise (60-70 kmph) 55+kmpl

                        Cons :
                        Svc network

                        I would rate Zeus as segment best and Heat as best VFM in 125cc. Ask you pal to go for Zeus blindly !!

                            i have seen a few zues having some 90000kms on ODO and still going very strong, the reliability of the engine is the best in the 125cc segment.
                            itz a bike that u can keep lifelong and still drive it hassel free.
