Suzuki Gixxer

Suzuki has launched the 2019 Gixxer in India at a price of Rs 1.02 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Customers can book the bike for a nominal amount ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 depending on the dealership. Deliveries are expected to commence after two to three weeks. The 2019 Gixxer is available in three different colours options - black, silver and a blue-black dual-tone.

For 2019, the bike features an all-new design, new split seat, LED headlight and tail light, and a digital instrument console that’s borrowed from the 2019 Gixxer SF. Though the rear section looks identical to its faired sibling, the Gixxer's muscular fuel tank and tank extensions are all new.

In terms of powertrain, the Gixxer employs a BS6-ready 155cc, fuel-injected engine that puts out power figures identical to the 2019 Gixxer SF - 14.1PS at 8,000rpm and 14Nm at 6,000rpm -, mated to a 5-speed transmission.

On the mechanical front, the bike borrows its suspension, braking setup and tyres from the current-gen Gixxer.

The 2019 Gixxer competes with the Yamaha FZ-FI, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar NS 160.
