    The 110cc segment has proved to be a hot bed for two-wheeler manufacturers in the Indian market, with many entering this space with new launches and updates from time to time. It was a different story with Suzuki though, as it initially targeted the 125cc scooter segment, when it entered India as a sole subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, back in 2004. However, after gaining success in the 125cc scooter segment, the company is now set to compete in the 110cc category with a new scooter called Let’s, first showcased to the media and then seen at the Auto Expo 2014.
     
    The Let’s is a smart looking scooter with sharp and aerodynamic body lines from start to end, with noticeable Suzuki design traits. The scooter enjoys mid-size proportions that are comfortable, but feels perceptibly smaller from the moment you get astride. It gets deeply cut silhouettes finished in black on the front apron under the indicators that flow down in a straight line, giving the scooter a fresh look. The scooter gets a clear lens, halogen-equipped headlamp that provides good visibility at night, and looks similar to the one seen on the Access, only smaller. Analogue gauges are well laid out with an easily legible speedometer, odometer and an offset fuel gauge set around other standard icons. Switchgear quality is good, and the switches work with a crisp feel. Mirrors are neatly set to provide good visibility of what’s behind you, while the good quality levers on offer also get a brake lock clamp on the left, a much needed safety feature in an automatic scooter. Palm grips feel adequate to touch. The ignition key unit is a one-stop spot from where the scooter seat bay can be opened as well. The scooter also gets a locking system that cuts off key entry via a shutter, restricting access when required. The solitary bag hook is placed in the centre just under the handle, making for an easy access to mount baggage.
     
    Suzuki has missed out on the front storage space, which is quite unfortunate, as the underseat storage bay isn’t too big either, enough to fit a small full face helmet. The rear looks distinct, thanks to the sleek design cues and a stylish grab rail. The neatly integrated tail-light with side indicators looks fancy and this is further complemented by the slim exhaust system.
    Overall quality and fit-finish offered by Suzuki is good, as the rubber and plastic components on the Let’s impart a quality, built-to-last feel.
