Suzuki DF2.5 Portable Outboard Motor 2024 – 2.5HP Four Stroke

Suzuki DF2.5 2024: The Lightest 2.5HP Four Stroke in Its Class

The 2024 Suzuki DF2.5 is Suzuki’s smallest portable — a 68cc single-cylinder OHV four stroke that Suzuki bills as the lightest motor in its class at approximately 30 lbs. An integral fuel tank sits above the carburetor for gravity feed and instant starts even after long storage, the Forward-Neutral gearshift pairs with full 360° steering for reverse thrust, and a large carrying handle makes one-hand transport genuinely easy. Digital CDI ignition keeps starts consistent. It’s the value leader of the 2.5HP outboard class.
