Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 has been launched
in Japan in the country. Suzuki expects to sell 1,800 units of these India-made
250 cc bikes. The Suzuki Gixxer SF 250’s primary attractive features are its
full fairing, sporty LED headlight, and clip-on handlebars that provide a
slightly aggressive riding posture. The quarter-litre Gixxer SF has been given
a full-digital instrument cluster. It shows various information like
speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, etc., in an
organised format.
The fuel tank design of the Gixxer SF 250
is quite muscular. Also, the high-rise tail section gives the motorcycle a
sporty appearance. Overall, the Gixxer SF 250 has an aerodynamic design that
enhances performance and fuel economy.
The Gixxer SF
250 is fitted with a newly developed 249 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, SOHC,
fuel-injected engine that comes equipped with SOCS or Suzuki Oil Cooling
System. The SOCS allowed Suzuki to keep the weight of the engine as low as
possible without compromising on its performance throughout the rev-range. This
engine has been tuned to produce 26 PS of maximum power at 9,000 rpm and 22 Nm
of peak torque at 7,300 rpm. In comparison, the engine of the upcoming Suzuki
Gixxer SF 250 BS6 in India churns out 26.5 PS of maximum power at 9,300 rpm and
22.2 Nm of peak torque at 7,300 rpm. The transmission is the same - a 6-speed
unit.
In Japan, Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 has been
priced at JPY 481,800 which converts to INR 3.29 lakh*. It is available in
three colour options - Matte Platinum Silver Metallic, Matte Black Metallic and
Triton Blue Metallic (MotoGP edition). All of them are priced the same. The deliveries
will start on 24 April 2020.
