SUZUKI GIXXER 150

Suzuki has hiked the prices of the Gixxer and the Gixxer SF by around Rs 2,000. This is the first price hike for the 150cc Suzukis since their launch earlier this year. While the price premium isn’t too high, the new asking price of Rs 1,13,941 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes it the costliest bike in its segment.

The 155cc motor powering the Gixxer was already fuel-injected and has now become BS6-compliant thanks to some new ECU maps and an additional catalytic converter. As a result, output has taken a hit, down from 14.1PS/14Nm to 13.8PS/13.6Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Gixxer is held together by a single-downtube frame and suspension components comprising a conventional telescopic fork and preload-adjustable mono-shock. It rolls on 17-inch wheels at both ends and anchorage is provided by disc brakes at both ends assisted by single-channel ABS. The increase in weight on the BS6 version is insignificant, just 1kg.

The Gixxer has always featured muscular streetfighter styling right since the start, and even though it received a design update last year, the overall ethos of the appearance remains the same. There’s a large, sculpted fuel tank that takes centre-stage, and the flat, wide handlebars give the Gixxer a butch stance. The signature twin exhaust exits are still present and seem to be a hit with buyers.
