Showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, Suzuki Motorcycle India has launched the BS6 compliant Gixxer series comprising of Gixxer SF and the Gixxer. The BS6 compliant 155cc Gixxers will be the first offering by SMIPL in the BS6 motorcycle category.
The new BS6 compliant Suzuki Gixxer SF and Giixer are powered by the same 155cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder fuel-injected, air-cooled SOHC engine with SEP technology. It generates 13.6ps@ 8000 rpm and 13.8Nm@6000 rpm. These figures are down from 14.1 PS at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm at 6,000 rpm for the bike’s BS4 engine. Although, in its BS6 state of tune, the updated engine promises better fuel economy. The bike continues to be available with ABS, LED illumination for the tail and headlight, 6-spoke alloy wheels and a dual-muffler exhaust system.
