SUZUUKI RG110 ARRC

In the highly competitive world of Malaysian Cub Prix and the Asia Road Racing Championship, every detail of a race machine matters. For the Lion Suzuki team, the Suzuki RG110 was engineered with a particular emphasis on chassis stability, precision and rider confidence.

One of the more distinctive characteristics of the RG110 was its ability to deliver precise and stable handling without relying on a steering damper, a component commonly found on many other racing machines.

Instead, much of its composure came from the motorcycle’s carefully reinforced chassis construction. The additional structural rigidity helped maintain stability and consistency when the machine was pushed hard through corners and under heavy braking.

The RG110 was also equipped with a braced swingarm, designed to minimise unwanted flex under the intense loads generated during competition. By controlling chassis and swingarm movement, the setup allowed the rider to maintain a more predictable connection between the machine and the track.

These details may appear subtle, but in racing, the difference between a good machine and a great one often lies in precisely these engineering decisions.

Race bike No. 5 — Mohamed Mega

Beyond its distinctive race livery, the machine represents an era when lightweight two-stroke motorcycles were being developed to an exceptionally high level for regional competition.

The RG110 was not simply a small-capacity motorcycle adapted for racing. It was a purpose-developed competition machine where chassis rigidity, suspension behaviour and rider feedback were treated as seriously as engine performance.
