Suzuki Motorcycles, a Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer, has released the revised 2023 iterations of its Gixxer family of motorcycles in India, with a starting price of Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom).
With the 2023 Suzuki Gixxer range of motorcycles, Suzuki Motorcycle India added new colour options and connection features. Furthermore, the top-spec Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 has been reduced to Rs 2.02 lakh (ex-showroom).
New Colours in Suzuki Gixxer Range 2023
The Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer 250 series have received new colours, with the Metallic Matte Stellar Blue on the Gixxer 250 naked standing out. The Gixxer SF 250 is also available in matte colours, although the now-defunct Suzuki MotoGP team colours are the most appealing.
Suzuki’s Gixxer motorbike line in India now comprises of four models: Gixxer, Gixxer SF, Gixxer 250, and Gixxer SF 250. The ‘SF’ models are the completely faired variations of the respective Suzuki Gixxer model line. Having saying that, the SF models do command a little premium above their naked counterparts.
Connectivity feature in new 2023 Suzuki Gixxer range
The Suzuki Ride Connect is another significant improvement to the Suzuki Gixxer lineup. Riders can sync their smartphone with a specific app to receive incoming call and SMS alerts, as well as turn-by-turn guidance instructions. This is a comparable technology to the Suzuki V-Strom SX, and the Access 125, Avenis, and Burgman Street EX all feature Bluetooth connectivity.
Mechanically, the Suzuki motorcycle range for 2023 is mechanically identical to its predecessors. As a result, the Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF are still powered by a 155cc single-cylinder engine producing 13.4bhp and 13.8Nm of peak torque. This engine is also paired with a 5-speed transmission.
The 2023 Suzuki Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250, on the other hand, are powered by the same tried-and-true 249cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This engine produces a considerably healthy 26.13bhp of peak power and 22.2Nm of peak torque, and it is paired with a 6-speed transmission.
Price of New Suzuki Gixxer Range 2023
The Gixxer series’ pricing have risen as a result of these changes. The Gixxer street nude, for example, has increased in price by Rs 7,000 and now costs Rs 1.40 lakh. Meanwhile, the Gixxer SF is priced at Rs 1.45 lakh, an increase of around Rs 8,000.
The Gixxer 250, on the other hand, will cost Rs 1.95 lakh, a considerable increase of Rs 14,000. The Gixxer SF 250 now costs Rs 2.02 lakh, an increase of Rs 10,000.
Final words
With the release of revised editions of the Suzuki Gixxer model line, the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer hopes to close the gap with its closest competitors. Furthermore, we anticipate that the new features and colour possibilities will attract a large portion of its target audience and enhance overall sales numbers.
