Suzuki Motorcycles today have launched the new for 2019 Gixxer. This popular 155cc street bike now comes with a number of changes, akin to the ones seen on the Gixxer SF. Priced at INR 1,00,212, ex-showroom, Delhi. The Gixxer is essentially the naked version of the Gixxer SF. Customers can choose between 3 colours – Metallic Sonic Silver & Glass Sparkle Black; Glass Sparkle Black and Metallic Triton Blue & Glass Sparkle Black. This brand new motorcycle would be competing against the likes of the Yamaha FZ-FI, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V FI ABS and the Honda CB Hornet 160R, all of which are in a similar price range.
The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer comes with a new LED headlamp, which appears to be borrowed from its faired sibling. Moreover, the taillights too are LED illuminated. The fuel tank is new, so is the split-type seat of the bike. The bike also comes with a chrome-tipped, double-barrel exhaust and an all-digital instrument console. It draws power from a 155cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder fuel injection, air-cooled SOHC engine with SEP technology, generating 14.1 PS @ 8000 and 14.0 Nm @ 6000 rpm. The bike also comes with a single channel ABS module for added safety. Suspension duties are done by telescopic forks upfront while the rear employees a monoshock.
