All about the Gixxer 250

The Gixxer 250 borrows its styling from the refreshed Gixxer 155 launched last month. The bike gets the same flat LED headlamp, split seat and the tail lamp. However, the bronze accents on the headlamp, engine and chassis along with the bash plate distinguish it from the 155cc sibling.

It gets the same 249cc, single-cylinder, SOHC engine producing 26.13bhp at 9000rpm and 22.6Nm at 7500rpm from the Gixxer 250 SF. The engine is air-cooled with an oil-cooler to keep the engine temperature in check.
