It’s the second bike in its segment to receive a single-channel ABS unit after the Honda CB Hornet 160R

The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has launched the ABS-equipped variant of the Gixxer at Rs 87,250, which is Rs 6,321 more than the rear disc brake-equipped variant priced at Rs 80,929 (both ex-showroom Delhi).

The Suzuki Gixxer ABS retains all the features of the rear disc variant, which includes AHO headlight, LED tail lamp and a full digital speedometer.

The Suzuki Gixxer ABS now joins the Gixxer SF and the Intruder 150 in the brand’s India lineup, to get a single-channel ABS unit. Similarly, the Gixxer ABS uses the same mechanical components with no change in power and torque figures either. Powering the bike is a BSIV-compliant 154.9cc single-cylinder engine that continues to produce 14.8PS of power at 8000rpm, with peak torque of 14Nm generated at 6000rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed transmission.

With the addition of ABS, the Gixxer now seems better equipped to take on the Apache 160 4V, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Yamaha FZ S FI (V 2.0) and the Bajaj Pulsar NS160.
