Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL), a subsidiary Suzuki
Motor Corporation, Japan rolled out the 155cc Gixxer for Rs 72,199 (ex showroom
Delhi). The Gixxer is a stylish 'Street Sport' motorcycle. Styled on the famed
GSX-R series including the extremely sporty GSX-R1000, the Gixxer boasts of special
features like a sporty dual muffler and a trendy, smartphone-resembling digital
speedometer.
Bookings for the motorcycle have started and will exist along with
the GS-150 from the Suzuki stable.
The Gixxer is powered by a 155cc, single cylinder, air cooled engine
with a five-speed gearbox. The engine delivers a broad low-end torque and adequate
mid-range power for strong acceleration. Suzuki claims the bike provides not
only Suzuki’s legendary riding dynamics but also rider ergonomics.
According to Atul Gupta, Executive Vice President, SMIPL, the Gixxer
is an overall mix of elegant styling, classy on-road presence and promising
performance, and will attract young bikers to rev up and ride.
The company is also coming up with a marketing campaign for the
Gixxer featuring Bollywood start Salman Khan.
The Gixxer engine enables the motorcycle to deliver good fuel
efficiency without compromising on power or performance. The Gixxer’s punchy
engine and chassis were developed by engineers who designed the legendary GSX-R
series. The motorcycle will be available in five colour options.
