Suzuki Gixxer 250, Gixxer SF 250 BS6 Bookings Open

Expected to be launched in the early weeks of April 2020

• BS6 Gixxer 250, Gixxer SF 250 remain cosmetically unchanged.
• Powered by a 249cc, BS6-compliant engine, which produces the same power as before.
• Bikes were first unveiled at this year’s Auto Expo.

Suzuki dealerships across India have started accepting bookings for the BS6 Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250. Interested customers can book either of the bikes for a token amount ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000, depending on the dealership. Stocks are likely to arrive at dealerships in the coming week. Expect the bike to be launched by early-April 2020.

Both the streetfighter and the supersport look identical to their BS4 counterparts. There are no cosmetic changes whatsoever. These bikes were already BS6-ready and only needed minor mechanical tweaks to help them comply with the strict emission norms.
