Hyosung GT250R

About
The Hyosung GT250R is a 249cc, V-twin DOHC eight-valve engine motorcycle that stands out for its modern and sleek design, often compared to larger bikes like the Suzuki GSXR and Ducati 748. This bike is powered by a strong and smooth V-twin engine that provides excellent low-range torque, making it ideal for street riding and track use. The bike features a full fairing, dual disc brakes at the front with USD forks, and a large fuel tank for its segment. The riding posture is track-focused, which makes it less comfortable for city traffic but exhilarating on highways. With a top speed of around 140 kmph and a 0-60 kmph time of approximately 4 seconds, the GT250R is a beast in its segment, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and riding experience. However, it lacks ABS, which is a significant feature in modern motorcycles, and the service network is not as widespread as some of its competitors. Despite these limitations, the GT250R remains a compelling choice for riders who value its unique character and performance capabilities.

USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Hyosung GT250R is a standout in the 250cc segment, particularly for its sleek and modern design that rivals much larger bikes. Its V-twin engine delivers smooth and linear power, making it a joy to ride, especially on highways and tracks. However, it is not without its drawbacks the sporty riding position makes it less comfortable for city traffic, and the absence of ABS is a notable omission. Additionally, the brakes, while not bad, lack the confidence-inspiring feedback one might expect, and the tyres could be improved. Despite these issues, the GT250R has a unique character and soul that sets it apart from other bikes in its class, making it a great choice for hardcore riders who value performance and style.
Price
In India, the Hyosung GT250R is priced competitively but on the higher side within its segment. The ex-showroom price for the GT250R is around Rs 3.5 lakhs, though this can vary slightly depending on the state and local taxes. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, can push the total to around Rs 4.2 lakhs. While it is more expensive than some of its competitors like the Ninja 250R, the unique V-twin engine and the bikes overall package justify the premium. However, the higher price also means that buyers need to consider the long-term costs, including servicing and parts replacement, which can be more expensive due to the bikes specialized components.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 01:56 PM The Hyosung GT250R offers respectable mileage for a 250cc bike, with users reporting around 25-30 kmpl. This is good enough for a bike that prioritizes performance and style. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option in its class, the mileage is reasonable considering the bikes power output and riding dynamics. For buyers concerned about running costs, the GT250R strikes a balance between performance and economy, making it a viable choice for those who want both speed and manageable fuel expenses.

MAXABOUT RATING AND OVERVIEW
Vehicle Overview Hyosung GT250R carries a real superbike look and promises sure shot attention whenever you arrive at a certain place. Its front dual disc brakes, projector headlights, huge tank and fairing makes it the best looking machine in most of the parking spaces. The only problem comes when you see its performance from the 249cc, twin cylinder engine that is good for 28 BHP and 22.07 Nm of torque. The show spoiler is its high 188 kg of body weight, providing it the worst 140 kmph of top speed. The gearbox used here is also an old 5-speed unit.

Hyosung GT250R Review

27 May, 2016 11:01 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Hyosung have finally entered our Indian bike market and to start off, they have launched their entry level sports bike. Its GT250R which will be directly competing with already established bikes like Kawasaki Ninja250R and newly launched Honda CBR250R. Let’s try to know what to expect from this Korean racer.

Design and Style

Hyosung GT250R is a full fairing bike and takes most of the styling cues from its elder sibling GT650R. It’s a full size bike with sporty and aggressive looks. Its vertically aligned twin projector lamps forms the headlight of this bike which makes it looks sharp with edgy lines on its front cowl. Its black colored rear view mirrors are also mounted on its cowl while its transparent visor sits right on the top of its headlight. The fatty front forks along with its mudguard and twin disc plates add visual bulk to this bike.

Move to the side of this bike and you will notice the dual tone color on this bike with lots of bolts fitted in its fairing. Its side decals and air inlets make it look aerodynamic. It features integrated side panel and rear cowl with black colored split grab rail which makes it an attention seeker. The bike sports a neatly designed upraised fuel tank with decal of Hyosung on it. Moreover to add sporty feel to the bike, the makers have opted for full size split seat which looks cool with its shiny sleek, up-swept silencer. The bike looks more naked at the back with wide rear tyre, short fender and small LED tail light. The rear fender also features clear lens side indicators and number plate on it.

Instrument Console

Hyosung have opted for a combined analogue-digital instrument console and it looks better than its rivals. It features a round shaped analogue Tachometer on the left side while it sports a LCD on the right side for its digital speedometer, 2-tripmeter, odometer and fuel gauge. The bike allows you to adjust the brightness of this LCD for clear vision all the time.

Engine and Gearbox

The bike uses V-twin 250cc engine. This 8 valve, DOHC engine pumps out a power output of 27.6 bhp at 10000 rpm. Its maximum torque output of 22 Nm arrives at 8000 rpm. GT250R comes equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox with a gear shift pattern of one gear down and four gears up.

Acceleration and Performance

To be exact, this Hyosung bike stands somewhere between Honda CBR250R and Kawasaki Ninja250R in terms of acceleration and performance. By saying that we mean its high end performance is surely better and impressive than Honda but it can’t go pass Ninja250R if it’s about high speed cruising. In order to maintain good fuel economy, the bike uses five gears rather than six and the gear ratios are also on the taller side. Certainly, you can’t complain about the refinement as it’s a DOHC engine and the power delivery is also very linear but after 8000rpm we feel this bike breathes hard for power and throttle response is also disappointing. The bike isn’t as responsive as others in city traffic thanks to its less power to weight ratio and taller gears. You have to rev this bike hard to keep the momentum as it does 0-100km/hr in around 9 seconds. The bike can easily cross the speed of 150km/hr but it may take more time than Ninja. The performance of this bike would have been better if it had the much needed sixth gear.

Mileage

This bike can return a fuel economy of around 20-22km/ltr in city conditions and expect these figures to increase up to 5km/ltr on highways.

Comfort while Driving

Hyosung GT250R offers a very convenient yet sporty riding posture. It has bend forward type riding posture which enhances the aerodynamics of this bike. The rear seat is height adjustable which further increases your comfort. The seat has been well padded and you find a nice space for your knees around its fatty fuel tank. It has a vibration free handle bar which offers a nice palm grip and the hand levers are also light and easy to use. Most importantly, the road visibility is quite clear which is quite effective in city traffic.

Storage Space and Safety Features

No, there is no storage space in this bike although it has twin front brake callipers to enhance your safety while driving.

Suspension and Brakes

Hyosung have equipped this bike with non-adjustable 41mm inverted front forks. The rear suspension features gas filled mono shock absorber. The braking system of GT250R sports twin front discs of 300mm with twin piston callipers and it has a single disc of 230mm at its back. There is no optional ABS in this bike.

Ride and Handling

The bike is really a gem in this department. It feels better than its competitors when it’s about ride and handling. Its broad tyres and solid suspension provides it good grip of road and it feels quite confident at high speeds. Its steel frame also improves its handling and it shows around corners. In fact in city also, the steer response is quite accurate and it feels nimble in traffic. It has the best in class wheelbase of 1435mm which provides it tremendous stability. Moreover, the low ground clearance of 155mm improves its aerodynamics and stability on highways.

Shades

Hyosung GT250R is available in three attractive shades: Silver Fox, Red Raven and Flaming Snow.

Verdict

Hyosung have priced GT250R at INR 2.99 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi (approx., may vary)). We don’t think it’s a good move from Hyosung as this bike is costlier than its both competitors and we feel it’s been overpriced. We agree it looks stylish and has all the modern features but for a brand which is almost unknown in India; it’s too much to ask for. Moreover, the bike lacks the high speed grunt and for all these reasons we don’t think it’s a complete value for money bike.

Questions and Answers

Most Popular Answers for Hyosung GT250R
Is KTM RC 200 better than Hyosung GT250R or not?
29 December 2022 06:07
KTM RC 200 is better than HYOSUNG GT250R in terms of its performance. Although HYOSUNG GT250R has two cylinder engine but it is not as refined as the KTM RC 200. Moreover, HYOSUNG GT250R is heavier and much more expensive than KTM RC 200. Therefore, go for KTM RC 200 if you are deciding between the two.
Which is a better bike - Kawasaki Ninja 300 or Hyosung GT250R?
29 December 2022 05:51
The better option on the twin cylinder machine fight would be the Ninja 300. It comes with a 296 cc engine producing 38.5 BHP @ 11000 rpm and 27 NM @ 10000 rpm. The values are much higher than the Hyosung GT250R and the price difference of INR 60,000 is purely justified by these. The Ninja comes with a better design and 0-100 timing of 5.7 seconds. The top speed of the bike comes out to be 180 kmph, which is far more than the GT250R's 140 kmph. NInja 300 is also 16 kg lighter than the competitor, making it the ideal choice of middleweight sport bike lovers. It comes with a price tag of INR 3,50,000.

Quick Facts - Kawasaki Ninja 300

Which one is more powerful and has better top speed - Hyosung GT250R or KTM RC 390?
29 December 2022 05:50
The sure shot race winner would be the KTM RC 390. The GT250R is a twin cylinder motorcycle, but its under powered engine would not make it close to the power of the RC 390. KTM powers the bike with a single cylinder 373.2 cc engine producing 43 BHP @ 9000 rpm and 35 NM @ 7000 rpm. The machine performs exceptional due to its lightweight body and aerodynamically efficient design. It comes with ABS on both the wheels, making it more safe to brake on uneven roads. The bike touches the 100 kmph mark in 5.70 seconds only. It comes with a race inspired seating position, making the rider more comfortable on the speeding times. It comes with a price tag of INR 2,12,000.

KTM RC 390 - Racing Genes

Which one is more powerful and has better top speed - Hyosung GT250R or KTM RC 390?
29 December 2022 05:54
RC390 hands down, though the former looks better in my opinion, the build and plastic quality of the KTM is worse than the other. Bottom Line: I'd still buy the KTM hands down as it's the most VFM but only for racing or the occasional canyon carving. For daily use choose the other one.
What is the top speed of Hyosung GT250R?
29 December 2022 05:32
The company claims a top speed of 140 Kmph and the bike manages to give a mileage of 25 kmpl in cities and 30 kmpl on highways. It is powered by a 249cc 4 Stroke, DOHC 8 Valve 75O V-Twin 249 CC, Oil Cooled engine. It kicks off maximum power of 28 BHP @ 10000 rpm and torque of 22.07 Nm @ 8000 rpm. The suspension system includes inverted telescopic at the front and progressive linkage hydraulic mono shock suspension at its rear. It is mated to 5 speed manual transmission.

Best looking 250cc bike in India

subhash goel | 6 years ago
helpful 10

When I was planning to purchase this bike I was little bit confused whether I should buy it or not. But one of my friends asked me to go with this bike. And I thought it was my good decision as I am satisfied with my machine. The ride quality is completely enjoyable and it absorbs bumps easily without creating any problem for the rider. It weighs at 188 kgs which makes it difficult to control while turning it. The 17-litre fuel tank is very well designed. As far as styling is concerned, it is very attractive and appealing. The turning radius is quite large and the riding position is too sporty for city commute. Braking performance is good but the 300mm twin discs at the front don't really give it any better stopping power. The bike is little bit costly as it lacks many features one would expect at that price.

Best Features: Stunning looks

Pros: Stunning looks, huge fuel tank capacity, fuel efficient, good riding position

Cons: Expensive, heavy weight

Stunning as well as Safe Bike to Ride

Hyosung GT250 R become my first choice, from the day I saw my friends Hyosung. Yeah, I wanna confess here that I felt jealous sometimes when gals attracted towards him. Now, I feel very proud when I ride this bike. Its style is damn awesome and it has 3 disc brakes which makes me tension free while riding at high speeds. As I owned Red color Hyosung, so I find it best among others. It just lack in power which goes opposite to my expectations. It packs twin cylinder engine but power it generates is equal to single cylinder. So, this could be the only cons in my view. Rest its a wonderful bike.

This bike beats CBR250R only in more torque and this has a good look almost like a big monster, in rest all cases like top speed, torque, technology, mileage and cost, the Honda CBR250R takes the lead, and also almost all other companies like yamaha, tvs, pulsar, ktm are coming up with 250cc bikes, if this won't release soon, it will be a tough time for this to survive in the Indian markets. . . But anyways, liked this looks, it should be reduced lesser than CBR250R until it gets a nice hold in Indian markets. . .

Definitely this is a Good machine... but wats the use of Such power and Torque without 6-Speed Transmission? This one only has 5gears.. this means The ninja Will Easily Defeat this one in 6th gear as this one only has 5.. evn the Cbr250r can kill this one due to 6-speed Transmission Advantage.. Also i have Doubts on a Korean Bike Maker..i would Prefer to Spend 2lacs on a Honda or Kawi since they are Reliable and Proven and Mechanics and Spares can be Found for them.. i have doubts bout this GT250R, bt one thing is sure gr8 bout this one and its this that its Definately a LOOKER.. :)

Yes guys this bike is better than n250r and cbr250 but in looks and road presence only. Let it hit the market and than to be compared on its performance. This bike looks like a supersports bike just like (600rr/gt650r). It has a great road presence and sure it will enter into a tough competition in 250 cc segment. Also the bike price is between those of n250r and cbr250. Just let the bike launch, go through the specs and performance and than go for the bike...
