Suzuki Gixxer 250 Specifications & Features - Full Spec Sheet
The Suzuki Gixxer 250 is powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine producing 26.5 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 22.2 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. That's more power than the Yamaha FZ25's 20.9 bhp and close to the KTM 250 Duke's 29.9 bhp - making it the sweet spot on performance-to-price in the segment.
The engine is mated to a slick 6-speed gearbox. There's no slipper clutch here (the KTM gets one), but most riders won't miss it in everyday use. Fuel efficiency is rated at 38 kmpl by ARAI, with real-world figures from long-term owners consistently coming in at 35-38 kmpl - impressive for a bike capable of comfortable 100 kmph highway cruising.
On the rolling hardware front, the Gixxer 250 rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The front gets a 41 mm telescopic fork and a 300 mm front disc, while the rear gets a monoshock and a 220 mm rear disc. Standard dual-channel ABS keeps things safe in emergency stops, though owners note it engages a touch too readily during spirited riding.
Dimensions are a strong suit: at 156 kg the Gixxer 250 is the lightest 250cc naked available in India, the 800 mm seat height is accessible for most riders (vs the KTM's 830 mm), and the 12-litre tank gives a useful range of around 420 km before reserve. Wheelbase is 1,340 mm with 165 mm ground clearance - enough to handle broken city roads without drama.
Features include full LED lighting, a digital LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth supporting turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and WhatsApp notifications. The 2025 update brought OBD2B compliance, keeping the Gixxer 250 ahead of emissions regulations.

Compared to segment rivals, the Gixxer 250's spec sheet holds up well. It beats the Yamaha FZ25 on power (26.5 bhp vs 20.9 bhp) and offers dual-channel ABS as standard. The KTM 250 Duke edges ahead on outright power (29.9 bhp), suspension quality (USD forks), and slipper clutch - but costs around Rs 30,000-40,000 more. The Honda CB300F is a newer entrant with a similar spec sheet at a slightly higher price.
The oil-cooling setup is conventional for this price bracket. It works well for city commuting and mixed riding, but sustained high-speed riding in summer heat can push temperatures up - a known limitation that owners have flagged for long highway stints in Rajasthan or during peak summer months in South India.
