Suzuki has launched the updated BS6.2, E20-compliant Gixxer SF250. The V-Strom SX and Burgman Street EX have also been updated. Check out the story here

Price:

Prices for the Suzuki Gixxer 250 SF start from Rs 2,02,000 for the Metallic Matte Stellar Blue and Metallic Matte Black No.2 colour schemes, whereas the premium dual-tone 'Metallic Sonic Silver with Triton Blue' costs Rs 2,02,500 (both ex-showroom Delhi).

Features:

Suzuki has adopted the same design language for the Gixxer 250 SF as it has done for its smaller capacity Gixxer SF. They look identical with subtle colour differences to distinguish the two models. The Suzuki Gixxer 250 gets LED headlight and tail lamp, lending it a very robocop-ish face. It gets a full-digital instrument cluster that has the usual amount of info that you expect from a motorcycle of its capacity, like gear position indicator, clock, and a couple of trip meters.

Engine:

Suzuki has developed a one-of-a-kind oil-cooled engine for the Gixxer 250 SF. This 249cc single-cylinder engine is a purely oil-cooled motor with no fins on the cylinder block. It uses the engine oil to cool the engine by running the fluid through the pressure-sensitive areas. The engine has been updated to the latest BS6.2 norms and makes 26.5PS and 22.2Nm. It is also E20 compliant, meaning it can run on 80 percent petrol and 20 percent ethanol fuel mix.

Suspension & Brakes:

It runs with the same 41mm telescopic fork and preload-adjustable monoshock as found on the naked Suzuki Gixxer 250. It gets 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels wrapped in radial rubber provided by MRF. There are disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard.

Rivals:

There aren’t any direct rivals to the Suzuki Gixxer 250 SF with the KTM RC 200, Bajaj Pulsar F250 and Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 coming closest. Other notable alternatives in the naked segment are the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and the Bajaj Dominar 400.
