2016 Auto Expo: Suzuki gifts the Gixxer with rear disc brake, and unveils the fuel-injected Gixxer SF-Fi

The SF Fi is powered by the same 155cc engine that does duty in the Gixxer naked motorcycle.  Since Suzuki wouldn’t state just how much the power and torque has increased thanks to fuel-injection, we reckon it is marginal. This move comes in at the right time for Suzuki as the Indian government has decided to impose stricter emission norms for two wheelers which requires newly launched bikes to comply to BSIV norms by April 2016. This works quite well in Suzuki’s favour as the new Fi system should bring down the CO2 emissions by quite a margin.

Along with the Fi system Suzuki has also equipped all variants of the Gixxer and Gixxer SF with a 240mm rear disc with single floating caliper to enhance the braking efficiency of an already capable motorcycle. Aesthetically, the bike looks identical to the current motorcycle, but both the Gixxer and the Gixxer SF will now be available in two new colours, making a total of three new colours.
