Suzuki Motorcycle India is currently working on the naked roadster version of the Gixxer SF 250. Christened as the Gixxer 250, the new naked roadster will arrive in our country by the end of 2019.

Previously, we had presented a rendering of the Suzuki Gixxer 250 that gave a glimpse of the motorcycle's sides. Our new rendering of the naked roadster tries to imagine the front fascia of the upcoming quarter-litre Suzuki. Like the fully-faired Gixxer SF 250, the Gixxer 250 will likely feature a full-LED headlight and expected to be surrounded by a body-coloured mask, which would enhance the premium look. The shape of the light will most likely be identical to that of its fully-faired sibling.
The Gixxer 250, being a naked roadster, will not get a windscreen. Instead, it may come equipped with a compact fibre panel above the headlamp. The front blinkers (non-LED) will sit on either side of the fibre panel.
The cockpit will have the fully-digital instrument console that is also seen on the Gixxer SF250. The digital screen will display information like the gear position, fuel gauge, tachometer, speedometer, odometer, trip meter and a clock. All the tell-tale indicators will occupy the space on either side of the instrument console.
Unlike the Gixxer SF 250, the Gixxer 250 will use a single-piece, flat-style handlebar for upright ergonomics. The fully-faired motorcycle, for reference, uses clip-on style steering.
The naked roadster will feature the same fuel storage capacity as the fully-faired model. The lack of fairing will be made up by the addition of tank shrouds and an engine cowl for a muscular look. Everything following the tank will be identical to that of the Gixxer SF 250, and the naked roadster will feature split-style seats, split pillion grab rail, LED tail light and a twin-pod exhaust with chrome highlights.
Engine and hardware specifications will remain unaltered from the "SF" badge model, and the Gixxer 250 will use a 249 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, SOHC engine with fuel-injection and Suzuki Oil Cooling System that produces 26.5 PS of peak power at 9,000 rpm and 22.6 Nm of max torque at 7,500 rpm.

Braking setup will include a single disc at the front and back, while the safety net will comprise dual-channel ABS as standard. A monoshock suspension at the rear and conventional telescopic forks at the front will perform the shock absorption duties.
