Leaked official images of the Suzuki Gixxer 250 has
been partially revealed. The 250 cc naked roadster from Suzuki will debut in the Indian market by the end of 2019. The leaked images reveal the fuel
tank shrouds, with the “Gixxer 250” tag, that will enhance the muscular looks
of the motorcycle. The fuel storage capacity will most likely be identical to
that of the Gixxer 250 SF. The images also reveal the
dual-tone treatment that the fuel tank will receive. Suzuki will most
definitely offer the Gixxer 250 in multiple colour options. The motorcycle in
the leaked images features black paint to the tank with a silver centre. The
tank pad is most likely a part of the optional accessories that will be offered
by Suzuki via its showrooms.
The headlight is partially visible, although the
images do not reveal many details. Similar to the Gixxer SF 250, the Gixxer 250
will also feature a full-LED light. We can also see a compact cowl under the
engine to enhance the sporty character of the Gixxer 250. Lastly, the leaked
images also reveal the Gixxer SF 250-style alloy wheels with silver borders to
the spokes, black finish to the front fender, crash guard and a plush rider
seat.
The engine and hardware
specifications of the Gixxer 250 will be identical to its fully-faired sibling
with the SF badge. The 250 duo from Suzuki will share the fuel injected, 249 cc
single-cylinder, 4-valve, SOHC engine with Suzuki Oil Cooling System that
churns out 26.5 PS of maximum power at 9,000 rpm and 22.6 Nm of peak torque at
7,500 rpm. Single disc at the front and the back will be responsible for
bringing the motorcycle to a halt, while the safety department will be handled
by dual-channel ABS. Other features will include LED tail light, split seats, a
fully-digital display, telescopic front forks and monoshock at the back that
will be shared with the Gixxer 250 SF.
Once launched, the Suzuki Gixxer 250 will compete
against the likes of Yamaha FZ25 and the KTM 250 Duke. Expect the naked
roadster from Suzuki to cost below the Gixxer 250 SF’s INR 1,70,655
(ex-showroom Delhi) price tag.
