Suzuki DF40 / DF50 - greater speeds with less fuel

Suzuki launched two new fuel-efficient and high performance four stroke outboard motors – the new generation DF40 and DF50. The new models boast a host of technical features that combine to give them increased fuel efficiency and performance, while weighing less and fitting more compactly on the transom. Initial tests have shown that these two new generation outboards use 23% less fuel than the current 40 and 50 models, mainly in the cruising range, which is where the engine is used for the majority of the time.

Eco-friendly technology
Starting is made easy thanks to Suzuki’s Easy Start System. Turn the key once and the engine automatically turns over, coming to life at your command. Once underway, Suzuki’s advanced Lean Burn Control technology takes full advantage of sensors monitoring engine performance and ambient environmental conditions. Using this input, the Lean Burn Control accurately predicts engine needs to provide the fuel injection system with just the right mixture of air and fuel, delivering optimal fuel efficiency.

Improved performance
Both of these new outboards are based on the Suzuki’s proven in-line three-cylinder dual overhead cam (DOHC) 12-valve engine with a highly efficient air intake system, which comes into effect in the high RPM range. With 941 qcm of displacement, multi-point sequential electronic fuel injection, these engines respond quickly and confidently to every move of the throttle, particularly when accelerating from cruising speeds. All of this technology combines to provide quiet and efficient operation as well as great performance. For example, the new DF50 is 6% faster in their top speed and 26% quicker in acceleration than the current Suzuki models.

Great match for RIBs
The compact size and light weight of the new DF40 and DF50 make them an ideal power match for a wide variety of boats, including; FRP pleasure boats, fishing boats, small RIBs and aluminium boats. In particular these new outboards will be ideal for entry level boating.
