Suzuki Gixxer, Gixxer SF with rear disc brake spotted on test

In September 2014, Suzuki launched the Gixxer 155cc naked motorcycle in India. The company went on to introduce a fully-faired version of the bike, called the Gixxer SF, in April 2015. Now Suzuki is gearing up to give the Gixxer twins an update.

Spy images of the Gixxer twins show the two bikes with rear disc brakes. At present both bikes are available with drum brakes at the rear. The addition of disc brakes at the rear will enhance the motorcycles' braking capabilities.

The Gixxer and Gixxer SF are powered by a 154.9cc, carburetted, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that develops 14.6 BHP @ 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm of torque @ 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

The rear disc brake variant of the Gixxer and Gixxer SF is likely to be launched in mid-October.
