Suzuki to launch the Gixxer 250 in March

Suzuki is going to launch the new quarter-litre version of the Gixxer in March 2016. With the model’s official unveiling slated for the 2016 Auto Expo, the Gixxer 250 will initially debut as a supersport motorcycle, matching strengths with the likes of the KTM RC200, Bajaj Pulsar RS200 and the Honda CBR250R.

Though the Suzuki Gixxer 250 will be based on the same single downtube frame, the underpinnings will be heavily modified to help the bike cope with the extra power. The 250cc engine will have a single-cylinder architecture influenced by the Gixxer’s 155cc mill, with the addition of a fuel injection system.
