Suzuki showcased its BS6-compliant Gixxer SF at the Auto Expo held in February 2020. Later in March in the same year, the brand officially launched the 155cc fully-faired motorcycle with an ex-showroom price tag of Rs 1.22 lakhs. Currently, after getting multiple price hikes in the recent months, the bike is priced at Rs 1.45 lakhs. The all-new Gixxer SF is one of the brand’s most admired bikes which looks quite sportier and is also feature-loaded in comparison to the rest of the 150cc bikes in this price range.

Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 Design & Style

The updated BS6-compliant model of the Suzuki Gixxer SF remains the same as its 2019 model. It comes featured with an LED headlight and an all-digital instrument console. The headlight of the bike is inspired by the 1000cc GSX-R that is sold in the international markets. It has a crown-shaped light that looks quite astonishing and gives the sportbike a premium look. The motorcycle has an aerodynamic design which makes it distinctive and it also has a split seat setup and a clip-on handlebar. The chrome garnish on the double-barrel exhaust adds up to its style.

It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. If we compare it with the BS4 counterpart there is a significant drop in the power and torque figures of the bike.

The console displays a gear position indicator, a speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel gauge, and a shift light indicator among other standard information. The switchgear of the bike is of good quality and also comprises a pass light and engine kill switch.

Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 Brakes & Suspension

The Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 features a stiffer front telescopic suspension along with a mono-shock unit at its rear. The braking performance of the bike is handled by disc brakes at both ends. Like its BS4 model, the updated BS6 model of the bike comes equipped with a single-channel ABS unit as standard.

Verdict and Competitors of Suzuki Gixxer SF 150

The New Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 comes with brilliant handling and retains its aura with the engine upgrade. It gets a good suspension setup which does not compromise on the comfort of the rider. The engine of the bike will not feel strained if one hits above 110 kmph.

At this price point, the bike is surely a good option to consider but somehow, people are not interested in buying it and a lot of buyers usually end up spending their money on the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 or Yamaha R15 V4. Suzuki Gixxer SF 150 is a very capable product and the brand must spend more money on the marketing of the product and also make efforts in improving their after sales service by keeping the existing customers in touch.
