Suzuki Gixxer SP and Gixxer SF SP launched in India

Suzuki has launched special edition models of the Gixxer, christened Gixxer SP and Gixxer SF SP, at Rs 81,175 and Rs 99,312 (both ex-showroom) respectively. These models get a unique livery to set them apart from the standard models. 

While the Gixxer SP is available with a rear disc brake as standard, the Gixxer SF SP gets a rear disc brake, fuel injection as well as a single-channel ABS system.  They feature a unique red, white and black paint scheme, along with a bunch of ‘SP’ badges all around. Under the skin, these models are identical to the standard version, and are powered by a 155cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine delivering 14bhp and 14Nm of torque.  The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. 

While the Gixxer SF SP costs exactly as much as a Gixxer SF FI ABS, the Gixxer SP is Rs 1,050 pricier than a standard double-disc variant. The Gixxer and Gixxer SF have been quite successful in the Indian market and have helped build a sporty image for the brand. The frequent updates like new paint schemes and special edition models have helped the company keep the sales numbers consistent.
