Made-in-India Suzuki Gixxer 250 was launched in Japan last year. The quarter-litre motorcycle was introduced in the Land of the Rising Sun along with its fully-faired sibling, the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. Now, for MY2021, 250cc naked motorbike has been updated for the Japanese market.
For MY2021, the Suzuki Gixxer 250 gets
updated colour schemes. It will now be available in new paint options - Triton
Blue Metallic and Matte Black Metallic. These are the same liveries that are
available in the Indian market. Apart from the new colourways, no other changes
have been implemented in the updated model. The 2021 Suzuki Gixxer 250 will be
launched in Japan on 25 May. It will have a price tag of JPY 448,800.
Powering the Gixxer 250 is a 249cc
single-cylinder engine that is equipped with 4-valve, SOHC, and fuel injection.
Suzuki developed a new oil-cooling system for this engine. It is called SOCS or
Suzuki Oil Cooling System. This allowed the brand to keep the weight of the
engine as low as possible without compromising on its performance throughout
the rev range. The motor has been tuned to produce 26 PS of max power at
9,000 rpm and 22 Nm of peak torque at 7,300 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
In terms of features, the Suzuki Gixxer
250 has a full-LED headlight and a sleek LED taillight. There’s a single-piece
handlebar that offers a relaxed and comfortable riding position. The motorcycle
also comes with a full-digital instrument cluster with a negative display.
