What Else Can Be Had For The Price Of A Suzuki V-Strom SX?

Suzuki surprised everyone by launching an ADV variant of its Gixxer 250 streetfighter and Gixxer SF250 supersport. The V-Strom 250 SX retails at Rs 2,11,600 (ex-showroom Delhi), a premium of Rs 30,000 over its naked sibling and Rs 24,000 over its faired sibling. That said, if you aren’t a fan of the new Suzuki bike, worry not, we have a couple of similarly priced alternatives that you could go for:

1) Royal Enfield Scram 411: Rs. 2.03-2.08 lakh
The recently launched Royal Enfield Scram 411 undercuts the V-Strom 250 by Rs 3,000-8,000, depending on the colour you choose. At 795mm, its seat height is a considerable 40mm lower than the V-Strom SX’ standard seat height. Along with it, the Scram also gets a massive 70mm of extra suspension travel, which helps in its off-roading prowess immensely. So if your day includes both on- and off-road travel, you could save some money and go for the Royal Enfield Scram 411.

2) Yezdi Adventure: Rs. 2.09-2.18 lakh
The Yezdi Adventure not only gets 5.7PS of extra power, but it also gets a whole 7.7Nm of extra torque. Adding to that, it gets a pucca off-road spec 21-inch wheel up front against the V-Strom’s 19-incher. Moreover, prices for the Yezdi Adventure start at Rs 2.09 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which is marginally lower than the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX.

The Classic 350’s torque driven motor makes it a charm to lazily ride around in the city.
