We’re a little over a week away from the Suzuki Gixxer 250’s official launch on May 20. Now, images of what appear to be a brochure has leaked online, revealing what the bike will look like, and it’s technical details.
The image reveals that the upcoming motorcycle will be called the Gixxer SF 250. Design elements like the sharp grooves on the tank that allow for the rider to grip onto the tank better, and the grooved indents on the upper half are cues also seen on the smaller Gixxer 150. The headlight, a silhouette of which we’ve seen before in the teaser image that Suzuki earlier released, hangs off the front end, giving the motorcycle a more aggressive look. Another element that’s obvious at first sight is the golden finish on the engine, use of a clip-on handlebar and the chrome-tipped double barrel exhausts that are visually identical to the ones on the smaller Gixxers.
Aesthetics aside, here’s what we’re more interest about - the technical specifications. The brochure shows that the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 will be powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, SOHC, oil-cooled engine that makes 26.5hp at 9,000rpn and 22.6Nm at 7,500rpm. The fuel-injected engine will come mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It also reveals that suspension will be taken care of by a telescopic fork and monoshock while braking will be handled by a disc brake at either end. The bike comes equipped with dual-channel ABS and other noteworthy details are a fuel tank capacity of 12 litres and a kerb weight of 161kg - 4kg more than the bikes most direct rival, the Yamaha Fazer 25.
Suzuki has priced its bikes rather competitively, and we expect it to do the same with the Gixxer 250. It will be positioned somewhere near the Yamaha FZ25 and Fazer 25; which, in turn, cost Rs 1.33 lakh and Rs 1.43 lakh respectively (ex-showroom, Delhi). In terms of competition, the Gixxer will also take on the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 (Rs 1.39 lakh) that produces similar performance figures
