Suzuki V-Strom SX

Suzuki V-Strom SX is a adventure bike available at a starting price of Rs. 2,13,896 (ex-showroom, Delhi) in India. It is available in only 1 variant and 3 colours.

The V-Strom 250 SX gets the same 249 cc 4-stroke, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, SOHC engine from the Gixxer 250, mated to a 6-speed gearbox and pumping out 26.5PS and 22.2Nm. At 835 mm, its seat height is a considerable 35 mm more than the Gixxer’s. Even though the V-Strom 250 SX gets a solid 205mm of ground clearance, a major miss is the tiny 120 mm of suspension travel at the front. It has 19-inch and 17-inch tyres slapped at the front and rear respectively. The braking duties have been allotted to discs at both ends.

The hardware comprises telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock to handle the suspension tasks. The anchoring setup includes single discs on both wheels while the safety net is handled by dual-channel ABS. The V-Strom SX rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels that are wrapped in dual-purpose 100/90 front and 140/70 rear tubeless tyres.
