Suzuki Motorcycles India has updated its portfolio with the launch of the most affordable V-Strom series model. This new quarter-litre adventure tourer, christened as the V-Strom SX, rivals the likes of KTM 250 Adventure, Benelli TRK251, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and Hero XPulse 200 in the Indian market.
The new V-Strom SX is based on the company’s existing quarter-litre model, the Gixxer 250. The design includes a single-pod headlight, tall stance, muscular fuel tank, tall windscreen, and beak-style front fender. The feature list comprises an LED headlight, LED taillight, and a Bluetooth-enabled fully digital instrument cluster. Apart from the ride-related information, the console also shows alerts on incoming messages, calls, and turn-by-turn navigation. It also shows speed exceeding warnings and displays phone battery level. A USB charging slot and a rear luggage rack are also part of the package.
The mechanical specifications on the new V-Strom SX include a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled motor that delivers 26.5bhp of power and 22.2Nm of peak torque. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox.
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.

Honest Review after 25k kms
2 weeks ago
Arjun
Here's my honest review. I have been using this bike for over 1.5 years and have driven it for 25k kms.Pros: Smooth engine. Super comfortable and wonderful machine for touring. Return good milage in both highways and city. (Above 30 in city traffic)Low maintenance in terms of filter and engine oil.Clutch is a bit stiff and riders under 5.7 will be bit uncomfortable as the bike is tallCons: Out of excitement I missed doing a predelivery inspection. There was a knocking sound from the front shocks when breaks were applied or when i used to hit a pothole. I brought this to the mechanic's notice at the very first service and I have approached them for the same issue 5 times. Every time they would just tighten some nut and return the bike saying it's fixed. Last time they replaced the coneset still the sound came back after a few hundred kms. I'm frustrated with Suzuki's service. I commute is mostly on highways and traffic never off-road. I wonder how many issues might arise if I go for off-roading.Next is quality of switches: all switches stopped functioning properly after 10k kms. They never replaced it even after complaining several times. I'm facing this issue from reputed service centres from both Udupi and Bangalore(Karnataka).Another issue is suspension is too stiff and the suspension travel is low. Your arms get punished each time you hit a pothole.The worst part is resale value for this bike is too low. Incase you want to sell it Good luck with your task 🙂 as market is flooded with 2nd hand vstroms with low demand

Tips for other riders
The mrf tyres are really good. Even though I am an enthusiastic rider i got a milage of 23k kms out of my back tyre. Front is still usable over 26k kms. Go for xpulse break pads. It will cost half price and same performance. Use motul engine oil (Suzuki's native engine oil make your engine lose refinement)

1. The buying experience is very good. when I visited to buy this machine in black colour they didn't have stock but as they promised they would bring the bike within 2. days & they did it... Love this service2. Riding experience: nothing to say... I just love to ride this machine... an awesome experience... Now my machine running 10530km within 9 months. I have done almost 5000km with a long ride it was a lovely experience. 3. Looks & performance: Performance is good.. you can get a decent average of 35-37 in the city & 40+ you can get easily on the highway depending on your riding style & weight. The looks are nice... but it could be more attractive if Suzuki give a little bit more features. I have seen one of the manufacturing defects on the knuckle guard.4. servicing & maintenance: it's a 250cc segment adventure machine so definitely service & maintenance will be a little bit high from other machines. but it is decent... if you own this type of machine & also if you are a daily user then you need to keep it under regular maintenance.Overall I love This machine in the adventure segment at this price... I would highly recommend it to those who can start with adventure.

You Never Know
The gear shifting initially is very hard but after the first service it gets smoother and performance is very good in the city and at highways. I have a Yezdi Adventure too v Strom's better than the Yezdi as it's a smaller engine and gives more mileage compared to the Yezdi but it's not suitable for extreme offroad pretty decent power which is sufficient for city and highways and decent mileage at both.
