Suzuki Two-wheelers India has teased a new motorcycle on its social media handles. While the company has been tight-lipped about its new offering for the Indian market, it is believed that the Japanese two-wheeler maker will finally introduce the V-Strom 250 in the country. The Suzuki V-Strom 250 has been on sale in the global markets for quite some time.


The company’s official teasers show ad copies like “Discover new challenges with the Master” and “Find new spots to chill with the Master”, which hint that the upcoming motorcycle will be an ADV from the V-Strom range. Now, with the growing popularity of the quarter-litre ADVs in India, the V-Strom 250 might turn out to be a sensible product from Suzuki for the masses.

The upcoming Suzuki V-Strom 250 for India might share its underpinnings and mechanicals with the Gixxer 250 series. Powering the Gixxer 250 range is a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that develops 26.1 hp of power and 22.2 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Suzuki might tune this engine differently to match the V-Strom 250’s ADV characteristics.

In terms of hardware, the motorcycle is likely to get telescopic forks at the front, a mono-shock absorber at the rear and it will run on multi-spoke alloy wheels. The global-spec V-Strom 250 gets circular all-LED headlamps, a tall visor, a single-piece seat, etc. Suzuki Two-wheelers India is expected to launch its new motorcycle within this month. If launched, the V-Strom 250 will rival the likes of KTM 250 Adventure, Benelli TRK 251, etc.

Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Launched In India


Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has launched the new Suzuki V-Strom SX in India, marking the entry of Suzuki into the 250 cc adventure sports touring segment. The 250 ccc V-Strom SX takes styling and design inspiration from its bigger siblings in the V-Strom family. According to Suzuki Motorcycle India, the beak design of the V-Strom SX has been inspired by the legendary Suzuki DR-Z racer and the DR-BIG off-road models and has been made specifically for the V-Strom SX. The bike is available in three colours, Champion Yellow No. 2, Pearl Blaze Orange, and Glass Sparkle Black, and will be available at all Suzuki Premium dealerships across India.

The engine is based on the Suzuki Gixxer 250 series, with the 249 cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled single overhead cam (SOHC), four-valve engine, making 26 bhp at 9,300 rpm and 22.2 Nm of peak torque at 7,300 rpm. Compared to the Gixxer 250, the V-Strom SX has more ground clearance of 205 mm and has a kerb weight of 167 kg. Fuel tank capacity remains the same at 12 litres.

According to Suzuki, the 250 cc adventure sports tourer has adapted analytic technology from MotoGP that was used to develop the valves, shim type roller rocker arms retainers, and pistons to reduce weight. The V-Strom SX's engine has a piston which contributes to increased output and better fuel efficiency, and the engine can handle a wide variety of situations, from riding in town to high-speed cruising, according to Suzuki. Sensors provide data to the electronic fuel injection system to monitor and deliver the ideal amount of fuel to match riding conditions.

The Suzuki V-Strom SX also comes with Suzuki Easy Start System, Bluetooth connectivity via the Suzuki Ride Connect app, which offers features such as turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call, SMS alert, WhatsApp Alert display and missed call, speed exceeding warning, phone battery level display and the estimated time of arrival. A USB outlet on the left side of the instrument cluster can charge a device. It glows blue making it easy to spot and use even in low light situations. The missed call alert and caller ID feature are available only on Android systems. The Suzuki V-Strom SX will compete with the likes of the KTM 250 Adventure and the Benelli TRK 251 in India.

The all-new V-Strom SX is priced at Rs 2.11 lakh, ex-showroom
