Design
This is where has been the most notable change and it looks almost identical to the new Gixxer SF 250 other than a few differences here and there.

It gets new LED headlamps and tail lamps, split seats and an updated chassis. The Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 will be available in tow colors – Glass Sparkle Black and a dual-tone colour in Metallic Sonic Silver with Glass Sparkle Black highlights.
Engine
The same engine from the previous generation has been carried forward in the new Gixxer SF. Its a 155 cc, single-cylinder, SOHC, two-valve, air-cooled and fuel-injected engine which churns 13.9 bhp of peak power at 8000 rpm and 14 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. The old Gixxer SF was, however, marginally more powerful at 14.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm but torque figures are the same at 14Nm. The Gixxer SF continues with the same 5-speed gearbox.
