The two-wheeler manufacturer unveiled the Gixxer SF 250 at the Auto Expo 2020 earlier this in February. Last month, the company also launched the India-made Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and Gixxer 250 motorcycles in Japan. The pre-bookings for both the quarter-litre motorcycles are already open at a token amount of Rs. 5,000 and Rs. 10,000 respectively at selected dealerships in Mumbai and Delhi. The premium commuter motorcycles from Suzuki will continue to sport the same design and bodywork as that of the outgoing version.

The overall design and styling of both the bikes are expected to remain unchanged, wherein the Gixxer SF 250 will feature faired sportbike design while the Gixxer 250 sports a naked street bike styling. The bikes will come equipped with LED headlamps, LED tail lights, fully-digital instrument panel, twin muffler, rear tyre hugger, dual-channel ABS, Suzuki's easy start system and much more. Despite new components for BS6 compliance, the kerb weight of both the bikes remains the same as their BS4 counterparts. The SF version of the Gixxer 250 weighs 161kg whereas the Gixxer 250 motorcycle scales at 156kg.
The two-wheeler manufacturer is yet to announce the prices for the BS6 Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250 in India. The BS4 version of the Gixxer 250 is priced at Rs. 1.60 lakh and the Gixxer SF 250 is priced at Rs. 1.71 lakh (All prices ex-showroom, Delhi). The company is expected to launch the 2020 Gixxer SF 250 & Gixxer 250 BS6 motorcycles in India soon, probably after the lockdown gets lifted.
