Suzuki V-Strom SX Full Specifications

The Suzuki V-Strom SX runs a 249cc single-cylinder, SOHC, 4-valve, oil-cooled engine that generates 26.5 PS at 9,300 rpm and 22.2 Nm of torque at 7,300 rpm. It's the same proven motor Suzuki uses in the Gixxer SF 250, slightly retuned for lower-rev usability to suit adventure riding. Power goes through a 6-speed gearbox - there's no quickshifter or slipper clutch at this price point.

The 19-inch front wheel improves straight-line stability at highway speeds and provides a confident, planted feel on broken tarmac. Ground clearance at 205mm is adequate for gravel and light forest tracks but will bottom out on serious off-road whoops - this is a tourer, not a trials bike.

The Bluetooth-enabled LCD instrument cluster is shared with the Gixxer SF 250 and supports the Suzuki Ride Connect app, offering turn-by-turn navigation, missed call and SMS alerts, and overspeed warnings - a genuinely useful touring feature set. Factory accessories include knuckle guards, a bash plate, and a rear luggage rack, saving Rs 5,000-8,000 versus buying them aftermarket.

Compared to the KTM 250 Adventure (31 PS, 25 Nm at Rs 2,47,616), the V-Strom SX gives up 4.5 PS and 2.8 Nm but costs nearly Rs 48,000 less - and arrives with touring accessories already fitted. The oil-cooled Suzuki motor handles Mumbai or Delhi summer stop-and-go without overheating. Service intervals are every 6,000 km, with standard service costs in the Rs 800-1,200 range at authorised Suzuki centres. Over three years, total cost of ownership compares favourably to the KTM 250 Adventure, which carries higher insurance premiums and pricier consumables.
