Suzuki is all-set to unveil the much-awaited 250cc Gixxer at the upcoming Intermot Motorcycle Show in October 2016 (1st week). If not unveiled at Intermot, it would most probably be revealed @ the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan in November (3rd week) this year. The design of GS-R250 seems inspired from the liter class GSX-R1000 as per the rendered images posted online by MotoBlast.org.

As of now, it is not clear whether it would be a single cylinder machine or it would be borrowing the 250cc 2-Cylinder engine from the Inazuma series and would be tweaked for better power and torque figures. We feel that it would be powered by a single-cylinder engine to make it affordable to compete with the Honda CBR250R in India.

It is going to be a tough fight against the CBR250R, KTM RC200 and other single cylinder upcoming sport bikes like Hero HX250R, Kawasaki Ninja 250SL and Hysoung GD250R. Suzuki Gixxer 250 was recently spotted in a production ready version while no news of its actual launch event have been given officially by the company.
Expected Ex-Showroom Price: INR 1.70-1.90 Lakh
Official Unveil: Intermot 2016 (October)/EICMA 2016 (November)
Expected Launch: Early 2017 (Speculated)
