The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF has finally been launched at a price of INR 1,10,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The SF 155 seems to be more aerodynamic and aggressive than the old Gixxer SF. This new bike is pretty identical to its elder 250cc variant. However, this similarity is restricted to the overall design only. On paper, the new Gixxer SF 155 is still quite similar to its predecessor in terms of chassis setup and engine specifications. Have a look at how the new model compares against its old version.
Dimensions
The new Gixxer SF is not only 25mm shorter than its forerunner but also 70mm less in width. In terms of height, the old version is 50mm taller than the new one, but surprisingly it gets a shorter wheelbase. The new model gets a better ground clearance of 165mm, which is 5mm more than the previous generation model. The new SF also gets a seat height of 795mm which is 15mm more, while the old 12-litre fuel tank is retained. Due to some design and feature additions, the new Gixxer SF is now 7 kgs heavier than the older version.
