2017 Suzuki GSX R150 and GSX S150 – Video
In order to grab some share in the growing 2-Wheeler Indian market, Suzuki had launched the new Gixxer 150 range – Streetfighter & Fully faired. Both bikes are doing well in India; however, the Gixxer range has failed to do well in select South Asian markets including Indonesia. We informed you earlier that Suzuki has started working on an all-new 150cc motorcycle for the South East Asian markets. Now, the Japanese automaker has officially introduced the Suzui GSX-150R (2017 Suzuki Gixxer SF). The company has also rolled out the naked version of the motorcycle named Suzuki GSX-S150.
Powering the new Suzuki GSX-R150 and GSX-S150 is a 147cc, liquid-cooled engine that comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This engine is capable of producing 18.6bhp of power along with a peak torque of 14Nm. As a reminder, the India-spec Gixxer is powered by a 154.9cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 14.5bhp of power and 14Nm of torque. It is paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
The Indonesian-spec model is a performance oriented version of the current Gixxer. It will rival against the Honda CBR150 and the Yamaha R15. As you know, Yamaha is also working on the new generation YZF-R15 V3.0, which will be more powerful than the current bike.
