Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 & Gixxer SF Video Review | Best 250cc sportsbike in India and an improved 150 Gixxer

Suzuki Motorcycle India invited the media for the launch of an all-new product and it was the much-awaited – Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 – but there was another pleasant surprise. The manufacturer launched the new updated 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF looking much sharper and sportier. The Gixxer series has been a winner for Suzuki in India, something indicated clearly in the Gixxer 150 and Gixxer SF’s popularity in India in the entry-level sports-oriented motorcycles. And now the baby Gixxer is looking much better and there’s a bigger, much powerful Gixxer in the family.

The Gixxer SF 250 turned out to be a surprisingly pleasant ride around the Budh International Circuit. It is fairly quick off the line, does a top speed of 155 km/h and instills confidence to lean into corners with wide tyres that have ample grip and suspension that can handle a race track.

The other electronics on board the Gixxer SF 250 is the digital instrument cluster which is clearly visible in bright daylight. The riding stance is a good mix of a relaxed position and scope for committed sporty riding.

Suzuki Gixxer SF too delivers on a good blend of sporty and comfortable disposition. The 2019 model has improved in terms of ride dynamics and is now more stable in straight line speeds and doesn’t judder under hard braking.
