Suzuki launches BS6-compliant Gixxer and Gixxer SF 155 motorcycles
After unveiling its BS6-compliant two-wheeler range at the 2020 Auto Expo, Suzuki has launched the updated versions of the Gixxer and Gixxer SF 155 models. The new 155cc range comes at a starting price of Rs. 1.12 lakh and produces marginally lesser power than their respective BS4 counterparts. Apart from the engine upgrade, the new motorcycles are almost the same as the outgoing variants.
A look at both the motorcycles
Both the Gixxer and Gixxer SF 155 feature a sporty look with stepped-up seats, fully-digital instrument console, and blacked-out alloy wheels. However, the former sports a naked-street design while the latter gets a fully-faired look. There is also a Gixxer SF MotoGP edition which is almost the same as the SF 155 model but comes with a special MotoGP-inspired livery and graphics work.
Power and performance
The BS6-compliant Suzuki Gixxer 155 range is powered by a 155cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It is capable of producing 13.4bhp of power and 13.8Nm of peak torque, which is 0.6bhp and 0.2Nm lesser than the BS4 line-up.
What about safety and suspension setup?
In the braking department, the Suzuki Gixxer 155 range comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear ends, along with single-channel ABS for improved braking efficiency. The suspension duties on the motorcycles are taken care of by telescopic forks up front and a mono-shock absorber on the rear.
And, what is the pricing?
As for the pocket-pinch, the BS6-compliant Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF 155 models are priced at Rs. 1.12 and Rs. 1.22 lakh, respectively. Apart from that, the sportier Gixxer SF MotoGP edition is available at Rs. 1.23 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).
