Suzuki Gixxer SF SP

The Gixxer SF is fully faired with aerodynamic styling. It is stylish, sharp and attractive to naked eyes. Carrying forward the majority of the design cues from the naked version, it sports same sculpted fuel tank and rear panels. However, the front is quite sharp with edgy body panels and aerodynamically-crafted full body fairing. The designers have kept in mind turbulence and drag factors while designing it, therefore, the fairing design is such that it prevents rider and bike from the incoming wind and reduces turbulence and drag significantly. The sporty graphics on the fuel tank, the stylish LED tail lamp and the striking paint job add to its trendy character big time. Enhancing its premium look are aluminium exhaust end cover, pinstripe on the fat wheels, clear lens indicators and sharp edges. The headlamp comes with AHO which ensures visibility remains intact regardless of the light quality. There is a smart digital instrumentation that displays Gear Position Indicator, RPM Indicator, LCD Trip Meter and Programmable Gear Shift Indicator. The aluminium muffler cover not only uplifts the appearance of the Gixxer SF but improves exhaust efficiency and reduces noise. The seating position is quite aggressive just like you get to see on the superbikes. The bike doesn’t come with the clip-on handlebar, which is certainly disheartening. Despite its bold fairing, it has a curb mass with ABS of just 140 Kg, which makes it a desirable premium commuter for biking enthusiasts. It is available in three color options including metallic triton blue, glass sparkle black and pearl mirage red.

The bike responds in the desired manner around corners and you’d feel the urgency and responsiveness on offer quite clearly. The suspension assembly fitted is reliable and capable of seeing through the potholes. There is a 41mm telescopic fork at the front while at the rear it has seven-step adjustable mono shock absorbers. On the braking front, there is a 266mm disc brake at the front and at the rear, there is a 240mm disc brake. To handle the bike efficiently on loose and wet surfaces, ABS has been included which performs exceptionally well. No drama whatsoever. The ride quality is at par and looks like the bike is worth spending your hard-earned money.

Suzuki has played its trump card by including ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), which gives confidence not only to the rider but the pillion seated behind. The ABS prevents locking of wheels and maintains stability on slippery surfaces and rough road contours. This supplemental system gives the bike an edge over its rivals and another reason for buyers to look forward to purchasing it.
