Powering the Suzuki Gixxer SF is a 154.9 cc SOHC, 2-valve fuel-injected heart. The powerplant generates 14.8 PS of power at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Fuel injection helps in convenient cold starts and also results in cleaner emissions. A 5-speed transmission does duty on the bike.

The motorcycle employs 41 mm traditional forks at the front and a seven-step adjustable monoshock at the rear. The 17-inch alloys are shod with a 100-section front and a 140-section rear tyre.

For braking, the bike uses a 266 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. The addition of ABS improves the bike’s handling considerably as it prevents brake lock up during panic braking. Expect Suzuki to launch the bike with single channel ABS to keep the cost competitive.
