A 150 cc motorcycle at the BIC racetrack now this might sound like an
overkill but we are excited because the bike in question is a new Suzuki Gixxer
SF it gets a cosmetic makeover some new features and a sporty after here are
five things that you need to know about the new Suzuki Gixxer SF the new Suzuki
Gixxer SF doesn't look like any other suzuki motorcycle on sale in India or
globally and the styling is all new the edgy LED headlight gives the motorcycle
a distinct face however we wouldn't like the tolar windscreen for better
aesthetic and functional purpose as well
it also features a redesigned LED tail light that's larger and flows well with
a new styling the new bike still sports a stuffy exhaust muffler with twin ports
like the older bike but the chrome finish on the tip looks a bit tacky
the instrument console also gets a new layout and it's much easier on the eyes
and the shift indicator light has been positioned in the center fit and
finished levels as expected from suzuki are impressive when the switch gear has
been carried forward
the new Suzuki Gixxer SF is available in two color options and my choice will be
the silver and black dual tone option which suzuki calls metallic sonic silver
however i would have liked to see much brighter color option and suzuki
officials have told us that a MotoGP edition is in the works
thankfully the new motorcycle looks Sportier than before and you will feel
the difference when you see the bike in the flesh
while we were expecting the new motorcycle to be slightly move powerful
earnest predecessor but it is 0.7 pierced less from the same 155 cc equal
motor and to complicate matters further this motorcycle is 6 kg heavier so has
the performance gone down
well not really you see the ocean Gixxer SF was known for his fun to ride
nature in the city open to its bottom and mid-range performance and the new
motorcycle carries forward that trade however out on the racetrack
we felt left open to be a bit lacking
and talking about fuel efficiency Suzuki claims a WMT C figure of forty nine
point four kmpl which isn't bad
like the styling the Gixxer SF also shares the frame with the 250 the new
unit is thicker than before and has added more agility the new frame also
means that wheelbase has increased by 10mm so all these updates have added to
the weight so is it as far as before no because it is even more fun and this is
because the new motorcycle is even more agile and it dips into corner even
quicker
suspension and braking Hardware have been carried forward given the
near-perfect demise of be I see assessing the ride quality was difficult
but Suzuki officials confirm that they have made the rear suspension slightly
softer for better ride quality also the brakes feel more progressive than before
the Gixxer SF finally gets clip-on handlebars and it should have when the
motorcycle was launched back in 2015 the clip bones are into low set and the foot
peg position is similar to the older bike the riding posture is pody but
comfy and isn't as aggressive as the RC 200 so spending longer on the saddle
should be effortless and since the ride is on the racetrack we couldn't test the
pillion comfort and we shall do that in our road test the new Suzuki Gixxer SF
has been prices to be one point 10 lakh rupees and at this price point it is
8,000 more expensive than the older bike so does the new motorcycle justify this
premium
given the update on the motorcycle a price hike offered with 4000 would have
been fair the new motorcycle carries forward all the positive aspects of the
Gixxer SF and the temporal handling dynamics makes it a better bike the lack
of top-end performance is the only chink in an otherwise well-rounded motorcycle
