The new 149cc commuter motorcycle offers a front disc brake, alloy wheels, tubeless tyres and a claimed fuel average of 50 km/L.
Super Power has introduced its new Archi 150 motorcycle in Pakistan, expanding its presence in the 150cc commuter segment. The newly launched bike combines a familiar commuter-style setup with updated styling and several practical features, while its competitive price makes it an interesting option for budget-conscious motorcycle buyers.
The Super Power Archi 150 is priced at Rs380,000, positioning it among the most affordable 150cc motorcycles available in the local market. Currently, the United CCR150 remains a cheaper alternative at Rs325,000. However, Super Power appears to be targeting buyers who want a larger engine capacity without moving into the more expensive options.
Engine and Performance
The Archi 150 is equipped with a 149cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine featuring a carburettor-based fuel system. It produces 11.2 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and generates 10.4 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm.
Power is transmitted through a five-speed return-shift gearbox. The motorcycle also features both electric and kick-start systems, providing riders with two starting options. According to the company, its maximum speed is at least 95 km/h.
Features and Equipment
In terms of equipment, the Super Power Archi 150 offers a front disc brake and rear drum brake combination. It also comes with alloy rims and tubeless tyres, features that add practical value in its price category.
The motorcycle measures 1,970 mm in length, 790 mm in width and 1,075 mm in height. It has a kerb weight of 122 kg and a 10-litre fuel tank.
However, one potential drawback is the absence of a balancer shaft. Consequently, riders may experience noticeable vibrations through the handlebars and seat, particularly at higher speeds.
Fuel Average and Market Competition
Super Power claims the Archi 150 delivers an impressive fuel average of 50 km/L. However, this figure remains unverified and appears ambitious for a motorcycle with a 149cc engine. Actual mileage will depend on traffic conditions, riding habits and maintenance.
Real-world testing will determine whether the motorcycle can approach the company’s claimed efficiency.
With its Rs380,000 price tag, the Archi 150 enters competition with established 150cc motorcycles, including the Suzuki GS150. Its front disc brake, alloy wheels and tubeless tyres could help distinguish it from some traditional alternatives.
Overall, the Super Power Archi 150 offers an affordable entry into the 150cc category, although its actual fuel economy, ride quality and long-term reliability will be important factors for potential buyers.
