Suzuki Gixxer (Old Model)

About
The Suzuki Gixxer is a compact and stylish motorcycle that has garnered a strong following in India. Launched in 2014, it quickly became popular for its sporty appearance, robust build quality, and impressive handling. The bike features a 155cc engine that provides linear power delivery, making it suitable for both city riding and highway cruising. The suspension setup, including 41mm front shock absorbers and a pre-load adjustable monoshock at the rear, offers a good balance between ride quality and handling. The instrument cluster is highly informative, displaying a range of data including speedometer, odometer, tachometer, and gear shift indicator. While the seat could be more comfortable for long rides, the overall ergonomics are well-suited for a mix of sporty and comfortable riding. The Gixxer also comes with decent braking capabilities, though the rear drum brake could be improved. Overall, it is a versatile and reliable motorcycle that caters well to the needs of Indian riders.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Suzuki Gixxer, particularly the older models, stands out as a well-rounded motorcycle that excels in several key areas. Its handling is among the best in its class, making it a joy to ride both on city streets and highways. The bikes stability, even at three-digit speeds, is commendable, and it handles corners with confidence and precision. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as the gearbox, which can be a bit harsh and prone to false neutrals. The braking system, while adequate, could benefit from better feedback on the front brake. Despite these minor flaws, the Gixxers overall performance, combined with its comfortable ergonomics and informative instrument cluster, make it a solid choice for those seeking a fun and reliable ride.
Price
When the Suzuki Gixxer was first introduced, its ex-showroom price in India was around 70,000 to 80,000, depending on the variant. On-road prices varied by state due to different tax rates but generally fell in the range of 85,000 to 95,000. Considering the features and performance it offers, the Gixxer was competitively priced in the 150cc segment. The value for money was a significant selling point, as it provided a blend of sporty dynamics and everyday usability at an affordable price.
Latest Updates
Friday, 30 April 2021 08:02 AM The Suzuki Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250 were recalled in India due to an engine vibration issue. This voluntary recall affected 199 units of these motorcycles. Suzuki aimed to resolve the issue promptly to ensure customer satisfaction and safety. I think this proactive step by Suzuki shows their commitment to quality.
Thursday, 01 October 2020 02:16 PM Suzuki Motorcycle India has recently updated the Gixxer 155 and Gixxer 250 series with new colors and graphics to celebrate the brands 100th anniversary. The Gixxer SF 250 now comes in a Triton Blue/Silver shade, while the Gixxer 250 gets a Metallic Triton Blue color scheme. These updates also include new racing graphics and a Peral Mira Red paint scheme. The prices have been hiked by Rs. 1,000 over the older models.
Friday, 09 August 2019 04:05 PM In 2019, Suzuki launched the Gixxer 250 in India, priced at Rs. 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This naked quarter-litre bike is about Rs. 11,000 cheaper than its full-faired sibling, the Gixxer SF 250. It boasts a muscular styling similar to the updated Gixxer 155 and competes with the Yamaha FZ25, KTM 250 Duke, and Bajaj Dominar 400.
Thursday, 18 July 2019 11:06 AM The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer 155 underwent significant changes, including a new design, an all-LED headlamp, and a white backlit instrument cluster. The bike also received a fuel-injected motor, which was previously only available on the fully-faired Gixxer SF. This update made the bike more modern and desirable. I believe these changes were a step in the right direction for Suzuki.
Tuesday, 06 March 2018 08:15 AM Suzuki introduced the 2018 editions of the Gixxer and Gixxer SF 155 cc motorcycles in India, featuring subtle cosmetic upgrades.

Friday, 04 August 2017 07:24 PM In 2017, Suzuki announced that the Gixxer SF would be offered with ABS. The on-road price for the ABS version was kept at Rs. 1.10 lakh for the carburetted version and Rs. 1.13 lakh for the fuel-injected version. This addition enhanced the safety features of the bike.
Friday, 04 August 2017 06:56 AM The Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 was updated in 2017 to include ABS as a standard feature. This move was part of the broader industry shift towards mandatory ABS on two-wheelers. The update made the bike safer for riders. I think this was a crucial step in improving road safety.
Thursday, 02 February 2017 12:18 AM The old Suzuki Gixxer models saw minor updates over the years, including the addition of Always Headlamp On (AHO) in February 2017. This feature was made mandatory by Indian regulations to enhance visibility and safety.
Thursday, 01 September 2016 06:24 AM In 2016, Suzuki introduced a fuel-injected motor for the fully-faired Gixxer SF, although the naked version continued with a carbureted motor. This update was a precursor to future emissions compliance and improved performance.
Monday, 01 September 2014 09:25 PM The Suzuki Gixxer was first launched in India in September 2014, marking a significant entry into the 150cc segment. The bike was praised for its dynamic and sporty style, inspired by the GSX-S1000. It quickly gained popularity among Indian riders.

Great bike to ride on the highway. You can touch 100 km per hour very easily on this bike with no problem. Braking is good in double disc variant. It give 50 km per litre in the city. I am using motul 300v 10w 40 engine which is the answer to all Gixxer bike owner. If you use it then there is no hard gear shift problem, no loud noise noise from the silencer. No excessive engine heat up. It is only solution to all your problems.

Best Features: Gear shift indicator

Pros: Pick up, high speed stability, good mileage and looks

Cons: Poor headlight

Before buying a bike is great confusion..which is good/bad finally i chose Gixxer SF Blue. I'm owning Gixxer SF for last four months, bought for 1,05,000 on road price. first of all look is awesome, especially in Triton blue. better than other colors. no other bikes having this digital meter console like Gixxer/Gixxer sf even with gear indicator a fully loaded console. pickup is good,I'm getting mileage of 42-45kmpl, which is best in 150 cc bikes,reached a speed of 116 km/hr at this speed handling of bike is awesome,not even getting a single lag in handle bars,aerodynamic fairing doing its best. vibration in engine is same in high speed (above 110 km/hr) as when u r in 70 km/hr. shifting gear makes clunky sound but not much. brakes doing its best with back disc brakes..without abs is the disappointment. head light is not bright as same as in Yamaha FZ. pillion seat is small so its hard to sit and travel longer. disappointment is many of the people don't knows Gixxer..is a but a top competitor for all 150cc bikes..but a competitor for Gixxer its definitely a Honda hornet.

Best Features: Good mileage, look is fabulous.

Pros: Look.pickup,exhaust sound,performance.

Cons: Pillion seat,shifting gear is somewhat clunky.

Best 150cc bike so far......

Ravneet Singh | 8 years ago

It is one of the best 150cc bike in the country. It offers really good performance. no matter as many times you ride, you'll not get bored !!! Tires offer a really great grip and don't slip that easily.... its pretty comfortable as well but needs some improvements in seat itself as its really hard otherwise it is pretty comfortable. If you're looking to buy a 150cc bike then buy gixxer it is best bike so far....

Best Features: Throaty exhaust and pick up

Pros: Engine , pick up , Gear shift , Exhaust Note , Handling , Features

Cons: Seat itself is pretty hard !!

Good but Lack of Reliable Services

I would suggest other bikes in this price tag. Even the Fazer 2.0 is a good buy. This bike has a good performance that's all. If you have bought the MotoGP edition then style is good. Handling maybe good but my back pains while riding this bike for just 10km. It could be an issue with my bike. But please make sure to check everything especially fairing and handle bar alignment position. Service centre is totally pathetic. They literally lie at your face, so please make sure you check everything before signing any document.

Best Features: Style and performance

Pros: Performance, style

Cons: Handle bar is awkward, mileage, service is really pathetic, build quality is not good, gear shifts is broken.
