Rumour: Suzuki Gixxer 250 coming in 2019

According to a media report, Suzuki is planning to launch the Gixxer 250 in India sometime next year. The 250cc bike will be developed specifically for the Indian market and will be positioned above the current Gixxer 150.

It is rumoured that Suzuki might offer the Gixxer 250 as a naked street bike initially, while a fully faired version could be introduced at a later date.

The upcoming Gixxer 250 is expected to be offered with a 250cc, single-cylinder engine. It might employ an oil-cooler instead of the more expensive liquid-cooling system. Power output is likely to be in the same range as its rivals. There is no word yet about the transmission that will be offered on this bike. It is also rumoured to get a dual-channel ABS setup.

The Suzuki Gixxer 250 will compete with the Yamaha FZ25, KTM Duke 250 and the likes in the Indian market.
