To put things into perspective, it undercuts the Honda CBR250R by around Rs 24,000 but commands a premium of Rs 27,000 over the Yamaha Fazer-25.

It features a twin-exit exhaust much like its younger sibling. However, the exhaust tip receives a different design treatment.
Its new digital instrument console gets a blue backlit display compared to the 2019 Gixxer SF 150 which gets a white backlit console. Moreover, the readouts are a lot more legible as opposed to the instrument console available on the previous-gen Gixxer SF 150.
Notably, the switchgear has been carried over from the previous-gen Gixxer SF 150 to keep costs in check.
The bike is powered by an all-new 249cc, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine with a unique oil-cooling system. It’s been tuned to dish out 26.5PS at 9000rpm and 22.6Nm at 7500rpm.
Suzuki also claims a fuel-efficiency of 38.5kmpl for the Gixxer SF 250.
The Gixxer SF 250 comes with split seats which seem well-cushioned.
The bike features tall clip-on handlebars and mid-set footpegs for a comfortable riding posture.
A seat height of 800mm should be apt for average-sized riders.
The Gixxer Sf 250’s suspension setup comprises of a beefy telescopic fork and a monoshock.
Anchoring the bike are disc brakes on both ends aided by dual-channel ABS, which comes as standard.
Its 17-inch alloy wheels come shod in MRF Revz C 120/70-section front and 150/80-section rear radial tyres.
Interestingly, the Gixxer SF 250’s swingarm is 5mm longer than the Gixxer SF 150, which should improve stability at high speeds.
It also weighs in at just 161kg, which is a whole 6kg lighter than its rival, the Honda CBR250R!
In terms of colour options, the Gixxer 250 is offered in two shades - matte silver and matte black.
