Reports suggest that Suzuki Gixxer 250 might be available with a BS-6 engine, right from its launch. The upcoming faired bike is launching on 20th May.
More details on the Suzuki Gixxer 250 incoming! The upcoming quarter-litre motorcycle will only be available in the fully faired SF version, and not with the naked street styling.
As the same suggests, it will be available with a 250cc single-cylinder engine. However, latest reports suggest that the engine will be BS-6 compliant. The emission norms are set to kick in from April 2020.
For BS-6 engines, the engine needs to be equipped with fuel injection, electronic control unit and three-way catalytic converter. So, the new Gixxer will definitely use FI engine.

Gixxer 250 will use a 250cc oil-cooled engine, that is likely to deliver max. output of 26.5 BHP. So, expect the torque figures to be around 23 Nm, while the motor comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
Further reports state that it will be available with dual-ABS channel as standard. For suspension, we can expect conventional telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the back.
It will be available in three colour options – Grey, Silver and Blue. Features onboard will include LED headlamps, LED tail lights, a fully digital instrument console, Split seats and split grab rails.
