A notable feature of the Colleda Twin Ace 250TA is Suzuki’s original integrated Jet Line styling that flows from the headlight to the fuel tank and tool box. This styling is based on the design of Colleda Sel Twin that debuted the previous year, with various modifications to form a closer harmony between the expression of solidity and speed. The 2-stroke 2-cylinder engine is equipped with an electric starter and generates maximum horsepower of 18 PS. It adopts a twin-carburetor system for higher acceleration performance and excellent fuel economy of 70 km/L (40 km/h steady state fuel economy*), equivalent to that achieved by a 4-stroke 1-cylinder engine. This is also the first mass production model in Japan to be equipped with hydraulic brakes. Safety-oriented features such as a synchronized front/rear wheel brake system are another major characteristic of this model.

1965 | Colleda 250T20

Model designed to be ridden on the highways of Europe and the U.S.

Colleda 250T20

The Colleda 250T20 was developed with the aim of producing the fastest 250 cm³ model in the world.
