Suzuki has launched the Gixxer SF with ABS in India, in two variants-carburetted and fuel injection priced between Rs 95,499 to Rs 99.312 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Akin to the Bajaj Pulsar RS200, the new Suzuki Gixxer SF ABS gets a single-channel ABS sensor on the front wheel, while the rear disc comes bereft of this feature. The new ABS variant in the Gixxer line-up can be had in three colour options including metallic triton blue, metallic matte black and glass sparkle black.

In addition to the ABS, the bike also gets new decals and SP logos on the fairing. With addition of ABS, there has been an increase in the bike’s weight by around 5kg. The Fi variant now weighs 140kg and the carburetted variant is around 141kg (kerb weight). There is no change in the engine set up and it continues deriving power from the same 155cc engine with 14.8bhp at 8000rpm and 14Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. Transmission duties are carried out by a five-speed unit that aide channelizing power to wheels. Also Read – 2017 Suzuki Let’s Scooter Gets New Dual-Tone Colours
One must note that the carburetted trim gets both kick start and electric starter whereas the Fi trim comes with only with an electric starter. While reports in media suggest the rear disc variants of Gixxer twins will be phased out, Suzuki says both the versions will be sold alongside. Now that the faired version of Gixxer has received ABS, it is expected that the naked Gixxer will also get ABS in the coming months.
