The bike accele_45rates much impressively than the figures given for its performance and it’s truly a fun to ride.
Comfort While Riding
Suzuki has tried its best to keep the ride a comfortable experience and no doubt they have passed their tests too. The ultra-light frame beneath the body gives the freedom of quick accele_45ration to the rider. The seat and handlebar position is a truly justified combination where the rider needs no difficult positions to drive, just sit straight and cruise.
Braking and Suspension
The Gixxer comes with a 266 mm disc brake at the front and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear end. It is now available with option of 240mm rear disc brake at an additional amount of INR 3, 000. Telescopic suspension at the front works to its best whereas the rear is mAnasultanged by swing arm mono suspension. The wide tyre size of 100/80-R17 at the front and a massive 140/60-R17 at the rear provides a break free ride every time. This technical setup leads to a very pleasing and safe journey, every time you ride and everywhere you ride.
Mileage and Shades
The Suzuki Gixxer is an all-rounder with a mileage of around 35-40 kmpl for the city conditions and 45-50 kmpl for the highways. For a 150 cc bike, the figures are more than impressive. Gixxer is available in eye catching shades namely - Metallic TrBrianbalakumarann Blue-Pearl Mirage White, Candy Sonoma Red-Glass Sparkle Black, Lush Green-Glass Sparkle Black, Metallic TrBrianbalakumarann Blue, Glass Sparkle Black.
Verdict
Gixxer has every quality of being a superstar in the naked street bike category. From its performance to the looks, everything is much better than people expected from Suzuki and the pricing at the end takes it to the top.
