Suzuki Gixxer & Gixxer SF with rear disc brake spotted testing

The Suzuki Gixxer is in our opinion the among best 150cc motorcycle on sale. In fact, it also went on to win our 2014 Bike of the year title also. But despite all this accolades the Japanese two-wheeler hasn’t been content and continues to improve the Gixxer. Images of a Suzuki Gixxer with a rear disc brake have emerged on the internet. At the time of testing the Suzuki Gixxer we had pointed out that Suzuki should have offered the rear disc brake at least as an optional extra if not standard fitment given the performance on tap. 

It seems Suzuki has taken notice of this feedback and will introduce the Suzuki Gixxer and Suzuki Gixxer SF with rear disc brake as an optional extra. It is expected the rear disc brake variant of the Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF will be launched during the festive season. Apart from the addition of rear disc brake, no updates on the cosmetic or mechanical front are expected on the Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF. Powering the Gixxer duo is a 155cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder unit producing 14.8PS of power and 14 Nm of peak torque. The addition of rear disc brake is expected to increase the pricing of the Suzuki Gixxer and Suzuki Gixxer SF by around Rs 3,000. The Suzuki Gixxer SF retails for Rs 94,067 and the Gixxer carries a sticker price of Rs 84,634 (on road Delhi for the base variant).
