2017 Suzuki GSX R 250 (Gixxer 250) Revealed

Delivers 24.7 hp and 23.3 Nm of peak output. Indian launch yet to be confirmed officially.

Suzuki has unveiled the latest entrant to the popular GSX-R sportbike series - the R 250. Positioned between the GSX-R 150 (Gixxer in India) and R 600, the new bike inherits design and styling cues from its bigger sibling - typical MotoGP-inspired garb with sharp-cut lines, larger front fairing, protruding fuel tank, and high seating.

Powered by a 248cc twin-cylinder (parallel) liquid-cooled petrol engine with a 4-valve DOHC system, the GSX-R 250 generates a peak output of 24.7 hp power at 8,000 rpm and 23.3 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. A 6-speed transmission sends power to the rear wheel. With a wheel base of 1,430 mm, the new GSX-R weighs just 178 kgs.

It will be available in two paint job options - Livery blue MotoGP and Red-Black theme.
