Color schemes that have been used for this new SF are very worthwhile and the best part is the newly added Moto GP edition with ECSTAR sticker gives this bike the real Moto GP track feelings. On the other side, glossy color shades for other variants also very eye catching.


Engine and transmission:

Suzuki has come up with their SEP (Suzuki Eco performance) technology mane years back, but now they included the Fuel injection technology to offer the best they can on their bikes. New Suzuki Gixxer SF though has a carburetor version as well, but the main attraction is with the Fi engine. Advanced Fuel Injection technology is equipped with 6 sensors to calculate the optimum amount of fuel to be injected for better combustion efficiency, thereby improving fuel efficiency and providing accurate throttle response at all RPM to make your every ride even more exciting. Both the versions have same engine configurations except the slight change of technology.

A little bit purgation is noticed at this bikes suspension side. Stiffer Telescopic, Coil Spring, Oil Damped suspension is placed on the front side, and the for the rear side Suzuki has used Swing Arm, Mono Suspension.

Now if we look down into the braking side, real attraction of this bike will be seen. Now the Gixxer series has ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with it, which automatically controls the braking force efficiently and avoids wheel lock up due to slippery road, and sudden change of road conditions. Though single channel ABS but it is far more efficient than before. For the front side Suzuki placed Disc brakes with ABS and rear side is again loaded with Disc plates.


Tyres and Wheel:

Suzuki always tries to provide the well gripped and long lasting tyres for their bikes and they didn’t make any mistakes to do so for this new SF as well. For the front tyres new Gixxer SF has 100/80-17-Tubeless tires and for the rear side 140/60R-17-Radial Tubeless tires. As we can see both side 17 inch wheels are placed for these tubeless wider tyres, and most importantly they are newly designed alloys, which ensures quality and endurance.

Some upgrades at these two sides are also noticed in this new Gixxer SF. Now the newly designed Headlamp and rear lamp comes with LED power force. Clear lens Turn lights are placed and the maintenance free 12 V-3Ah battery will take care of all these new electrical features smoothly.
