The BS6 Suzuki Gixxer 250 will be launched
in India very soon. The price of the upcoming motorcycle has already been
revealed. And now, its complete specs are out as well, via a leaked brochure.
The new Gixxer 250 will be powered by the
same 249 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that we have seen in the BS4
Gixxer 250. However, Suzuki has done some changes in it to make it BS6
compliant. In its BS6 state of tune, this engine produces slightly lesser torque
- 22.2 Nm instead of 22.5 Nm. Also, the peak torque now kicks in earlier in the
rev range at 7,300 rpm and not at 7,500 rpm. If we talk about the power output,
it remains the same at 26.5 PS. However, it is now produced at 9,300 rpm
instead of at 9,000 rpm. The 6-speed transmission has been carried forward
without any changes.
The dimensions of the BS6 Gixxer 250 have
left untouched. The motorcycle continues to measure 2010 mm in length, 805 mm
in width, and 1035 mm in height. It has the same wheelbase of 1340 mm and
ground clearance of 165 mm. The seat height is 800 mm and the kerb weight is
156 kg.
