Updates are limited to new colour and graphics
Suzuki has updated the Gixxer and Gixxer SF lineup for 2018. Updates include a new colour scheme and the addition of the “Ecstar” logo on the blue MotoGP-inspired Gixxer SF. Both the Gixxer and Gixxer SF get a two-tone Candy Sonoma Red/Metallic Sonic Silver paint scheme with white graphics. The updated bike is available at the same price as the earlier variant: Rs 80,928 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the standard Gixxer and INR 90,037 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the standard Gixxer SF.
Mechanically the bikes remain unchanged. They are powered by a 155cc air-cooled and carburetted single-cylinder motor that makes 14.8PS at 800rpm and 14Nm of torque at 6000rpm. The Gixxer SF also comes with a fuel-injected version of the same motor that makes the same power but is more refined and fuel-efficient.
Chassis and underpinnings remain the same. For braking, the standard variants relies on a front disc and rear drum setup but both the Gixxer and Gixxer SF come with a rear disc brake setup on the higher version. The Gixxer SF also gets a single-channel ABS setup on its top-spec model.
Speaking on the launch, Mr Sajeev Rajasekharan, Executive Vice President for sales and marketing, said, “Gixxer is the perfect embodiment of sportiness and the spirit of youthfulness that the brand stands for. As a product, both the Gixxer and Gixxer SF are known to be meant for those who believe in riding ahead of the pack; and are a benchmark for the segment.”
The company also states that the Gixxer and Gixxer SF have been the highest ranked bikes in Motorcycle Upper Executive segment for the past 3 years in the benchmark of Initial Quality Survey (IQS). It also ranked highest in the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study by JD Power India for 2015 and 2017.
The new versions will be available in Suzuki dealerships across India in the next few days.

- Meticulously Maintained BikeI'm offering my meticulously maintained bike for sale, boasting regular servicing and usage, and delivering remarkable mileage despite its age.
- Impresses On HighwaysWhile the engine impresses on highways, comfort for the pillion might be a concern. Nevertheless, with a commendable mileage exceeding 50 on highways, this 155 cc bike stands out in its class. There's potential for enhancement in safety features, particularly focusing on pedal functionality.Read More
- Nearly 23000 km covered 2018 BS4 And Excellent CarNearly 23000km covered the 2018 BS4 model. Quality parts are good, I got an accident an year ago with a car surprised that only my leg guard bent and little scratch on a tank. The car bonet was completely has broken. Pros:- 1. Good looking (especially tank size and look) 2. Good quality 3. We can cruise at speed of 65 to 85 on highway if no crosswind (we can go further but use windshield). However, am cruising around 65 to 75 speed in most case. 4. After 1 year, my exhaust sound is better (using motul engine oil, the engine is a little more smooth). 5. Breaking confidence is super (good breaking my bike equipped with dual disc no abs). Cons:- 1. Pillion seat is not good and also back seat and height is high (only zero fig.can sit there). 2. When hard braking rider moving to tank side. 3. The service cost is a little high. So, just buy a product from an authorized center and change yourself or with a local workshop.Read More6
