What to know about the Gixxer 250
The Gixxer 250 is the most grown-up way to buy 250cc in India, and the least exciting to talk about at tea, which is a fair reflection of its character. The 249cc oil-cooled single does not rev like the KTM and does not pretend to; 22.6 Nm lands in a broad, flat band and the six-speed box is so sweetly shifted that the rider stays in too-high gears happily. That is the entire argument, and it is a good one.
Where that pays out is the everyday envelope. The riding position is upright, the seat is flat and long, the 1,430 mm wheelbase carries two adults and luggage with a stability the lighter sport-nakeds lack, and a claimed 40 kmpl from a 15-litre tank makes it the tour-value pick of the quarter-litre class. At a genuine 110-120 km/h cruise it is the quietest motorcycle here that is not twice its price.
The costs are weight and ambition. At 181 kg it is 13 kg heavier than the Duke 250 and it feels every one of them between corners — direction changes take effort, and the telescopic fork and twin-shock rear are comfortable rather than sharp. The faired SF version adds wind protection and a slightly faster top end in this listing. Buyers who ride two-up or far will call that maturity; buyers who ride hard will call it something else.
- A genuine 150 km/h ceiling with two aboard, on 26.5 bhp
- 40 kmpl claimed with 15-litre range to match
- The most stable and comfortable quarter-litre for a pillion

Pros and cons
What we like
- The most comfortable and stable 250 for two-up touring
- Sweet-shifting gearbox and relaxed traffic manners
- Strong 40 kmpl economy with a 15-litre tank
What we would change
- 181 kg makes it the slug of the sport-naked comparison
- No quickshifter or ride modes at this price
- Engine is smooth but blunt up top against the KTM

Power-to-weight ratio: the spec-sheet number that predicts real-world pace

KTM Duke 250 vs Suzuki Gixxer 250: the scalpel and the sofa
Thirty horsepower against twenty-six and a half, 168 kg against 181, and a chassis philosophy apiece. The quarter-litre class has exactly one real argument left, and it is about what you ride for.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Suzuki Gixxer 250 price?
From ₹2.11 lakh naked to ₹2.29 lakh for the faired SF with MotoGP livery, in this unverified Delhi NCR listing.
What mileage does the Gixxer 250 give?
The claim is 40 kmpl. MotoSutra’s estimate lands between 35 and 42 kmpl depending on throttle discipline, with genuine 45 kmpl possible on a gentle highway.
Is it a single-cylinder or a twin?
The 250 is a single — one 249cc oil-coated cylinder. Suzuki’s 650-class parallel twins are a different pair of motorcycles entirely, and this listing’s 26.5 bhp reflects the honest arithmetic of one bore.
