Leaked images have revealed that Suzuki has been busy readying the much awaited Suzuki Gixxer 250 cc bike. The upcoming entry-level sportsbike could be released by 2016-end. Its India debut could happen in mid-2017. The Gixxer 250 cc will rival bikes like the KTM Duke 200, RC200 and Honda CBR250R. It will command a significant premium over the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155. The Gixxer 250 will become a logical upgrade for current Gixxer 150 and Gixxer SF owners. Not much is known about the Suzuki Gixxer 250 but you can read on for all the available details.
Speculations abound that the Gixxer 250cc too could have both a naked and a faired model. While a naked model could rival the KTM 200 Duke, the faired sibling will be apt to rival the RC200. The Suzuki Gixxer 250 could slot in perfectly between the KTM twins and models like the Kawasaki Ninja 300, Benelli TNT 300 and Yamaha YZF-R3. A report on internet says that the 250cc bike could also be sold as the GSX R250.

Suzuki Gixxer 250 (GSX R250) India Launch Date
| Release Date | November 2016 |
| India Launch Date | July 2017 |
The upcoming Suzuki 250cc bike is expected to debut by 2016-end. Its India launch date could fall in mid-2017. There’s no official data yet, but a July 2017 launch will be a safe guess. The upcoming Suzuki Gixxer model will make its debut at EICMA 2016 that will be held in Milan in November. It has already been spied in production-ready guise, which means Suzuki is almost done readying the Gixxer 250. However, Suzuki is yet to confirm the product’s India launch. While International markets could get the Suzuki GSX R250 early next year, India might have to wait a year or so for the bike.
The upcoming bike could ditch the ‘Gixxer’ branding in favour of the more premium ‘GSX’ branding. The reason behind this could be the fact that the Gixxer is seen as a premium commuter bike. Even the model that was caught without camouflage recently sports ‘GSX’ branding.

The Gixxer 250 cc could share in plenty with the Gixxer 150. Hence, expect a competitive price tag. The Gixxer 250 cc model is expected to compete with the Duke and RC 200. Hence, it is likely to be priced in the range of Rs. 1.50 lakhs – Rs. 1.80 lakhs (ex-showroom). At this price point, the GSX250 will cost almost the same as the aging Honda CBR250R. Also, it will have a great cost advantage over the likes of Suzuki Z250.

Powering the Suzuki Gixxer 250 (GSX R250) will be a 250 cc single-cylinder engine that will come mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Power delivery is rumoured to be in the region of 26 BHP. Our guess is that the upcoming Suzuki 250cc bike won’t get ABS. However, it will get disc brakes at both wheels along with a mono suspension. The front-disc is a petal-shaped unit. This is the same engine that powers the Suzuki Inazuma 250.
