Suzuki unveils new designs for GS150 & GD110S with fresh decals, but no performance upgrades—just cosmetic changes amid rising prices.
Pak Suzuki has officially launched new designs for its best-selling motorcycles—the GS150 and GD110S—in Pakistan. The company made the news public on its social media accounts, with the slogan “The wait is officially over!”
The revamped bikes have new graphics and decals designed to make the bikes look more contemporary and desirable. The changes are cosmetic only, with no improvements to engine performance, safety features, or technology.
Cosmetic Updates Amid Spiraling Rates
Both the GS150 and GD110S have maintained their original mechanical specs, such as the GS150’s 150cc 4-stroke engine and the GD110S’s fuel-sipping 113cc setup. Although there are no technical upgrades, both models have incurred a steep price hike.

The GS150 now comes with a tag of Rs. 392,900, while the GD110S is priced at Rs. 362,600, after the NEV levy was introduced in the 2025–26 federal budget. This cost increase has been met with criticism from consumers, who believe that the new styles are not worth the increased price.
Sticker Culture vs. Real Innovation
Suzuki’s latest release continues a trend commonly referred to as “sticker culture” in Pakistan’s motorcycle industry. Manufacturers frequently introduce new graphics and branding while leaving the core components untouched.
This approach has become increasingly unpopular, especially as entry-level motorcycles approach premium price points. Riders are now demanding real innovation—such as ABS brakes, digital displays, and improved suspension systems—none of which are present in the updated GS150 and GD110S.
Consumer Expectations and Market Response
Though the fresh designs can help bring on board first-time customers or Suzuki enthusiasts of the retro look, experienced riders and industry experts are not convinced. The absence of significant upgrades, coupled with increasing costs, has resulted in increasing annoyance for buyers.
As competition becomes fiercer and innovation deepens, Suzuki will have to make more than just cosmetic updates if it is to continue to hold on in Pakistan’s bike market. Whether upcoming models will help do so is yet to be determined.
