Suzuki Gixxer 250
The Suzuki Gixxer has become quite
popular in Indian market thanks to its energetic and sharp styling. The sporty
bike lineup is about to get an all new model in form of Gixxer 250, which is
under progress. Meanwhile Rushlane has posted a rendering image of the upcoming
Suzuki Gixxer 250, which suggests what it can look like in flesh.
As the rendering image suggests the new
bike will take the design cue from both of its smaller and larger siblings,
which are the Gixxer SF and GSX R-1000 respectively. The front has been
designed heavily inspired by the larger sibling GSX R-1000. At the front the
bike gets sharp fairing. The fuel tank is muscular and makes the bike very much
curvy. The seats come in raked split seat configuration, which certainly gives
the bike an elongated appearance. At the rear the twin exhaust add on zing to
the bike, which has been derived from the smaller sibling. Suzuki Gixxer 250
will come inspired by its larger sibling.
The bike is expected to be built on the single
downtube frame borrowed from the Gixxer 155, it will become stronger albeit.
The suspension duty will be done by standard telescopic fork at the front while
the rear will sport monoshock suspension. Braking duty will be done by disc
brakes at both the front and rear wheels. Suzuki is likely to offer ABS for the
Gixxer 250, as an optional feature although. Power source for the Suzuki Gixxer
250 will be a single cylinder liquid cooled 250 cc engine which would be paired
with a 6 speed gearbox.
Expect the bike to get unveiled sometime
around later this year or early in 2017. Once launched, the bike will directly
take on the Honda CBR 250R and Mahindra Mojo. With both of its competitors have
already stirred interest among customers in the segment the Suzuki Gixxer 250R
will have to come aggressively priced, which can be done if the Japanese two
wheeler manufacturer assembles the bike locally in the country.
