The most economic streetfighter. In the era of rule of the lord of the streets, there came another lion in the concrete jungle, suzuki gixxer, the face-lifted version of suzuki's underdog gs150r, but with an all new stamina due to the new 155cc single cylinder engine, drawing out a power of 14.8 ps@8000rpm with a torque of 14nm@6000rpm.What could have been a suitable upgrade to the 1st generation yamaha fz, came in the form of gixxer from suzuki with the blessing in disguise for the sales of motorcycles in this segment for the company.The most noticable fact with this beast on 2 wheels is the charm that is held by its muscular and beefy looks, that too at a price which is most affordable in this segment.The advantages of the vehicle over the other gladiators, is the fully loaded instrument cluster with the only in class gear position indicator and 2 trip meters along with a rpm shift light to the rescue. Rest all the attributes are common in the other bikes too. Spotlighting the other beauties of this vehicle, the 266mm front disc, and the 240mm rear disc (p.S- only for the rear disc variant) with bybre callipers provide quite a bite with a good stopping force form 100-0 kmph.The 155cc single-cylinder, air cooled engine also runs more on less fuel giving a mileage of about 40-50 kmpl, giving out a top speed of 115 kmph (p.S-arguably in my case i went to a 124) but with the only downside of a tank of 12l capacity, as this sports commuter also shows metamorphosis to a comfortable highway rider, but the tedious work of getting the tank refilled again and again. The in gear acceleration of the vehicle is just superb. The only downside with the vehicle in the town is during the bumpy breakers, as it has a low ground clearance of 160mm. The foot pegs aren't so rear set and the ride posture is way more comfortable till today than any of it's competitors. The mrf's on the front (100/80-17) and the rear (140/60-17) are just a substandard material, but fear not, they can be replaced by ceat zoom's or pirelli's or michelin's, but from the aftermarket.The exhaust note is as sweet as the music from the pied piper's flute, only in this case, the flute is in the form of the iconic doulble barrel exhaust.With the passing times, even this vehicle has seen its days of glory and still today stands as a proud undefeated warrior in its area of expertise and specialities.It currently comes in 3 variants with the standard variant at inr 80,929, and the rest with a dual disc and a single-channel abs, first in the class of its 150cc segment.Overall, the vehicle is a true all rounder for the price and you wont regret purchasing it.

    Absolutely love this bike..reached 40000kms It's a beast in mid-range performance. I commute about 70kms daily on it never been disappointed so far.. If properly maintained gixxer could be one of the best 150s out there. The things I don't like are the paint quality and the top end. The headlights have an awesome throw. Build quality is great if you don't count the paint quality. The bike has one of the best exhaust notes in the segment especially when it goes at 70-90km/h even after revving it so much I still get about 37 km mileage. The gearbox is a bit clunky. The bike has a low seat height but that doesn't make it uncomfortable for tall riders I'm 5'11 . The rear seat is too uncomfortable in this model but the new seats are great. Absolutely underrated bike. Braking performance is above average. Offroad performance is also great when compared to other bikes in the segment.
    Overall if I get to choose my first bike again, I will definitely choose the Gixxer. Now I'm buying another one as an upgrade to this one. This time an sf 250.

  • Gixxer - a good vehicle to ride on

    2 years ago


    Vignesh J

    I bought this amazing bike in the second half of 2015 for my daily office commute. I used to maintain it very well.
    It is a comfortable vehicle to ride on. In the past 6 years, I haven't faced any issues with this bike.
    Pros :
    - good engine performance
    - good milage
    - long-lasting one
    - stylish look
    Cons :
    - for family, does not suit well as pillion seat is a little bit high.

  • Good bike

    4 years ago


    Anoop

    Good bike for my travel partner.No major complaints still now.I will get 58 millage,He gixxer was the perfect shot in the arm for suzuki when it came out in 2014. In fact, not only did it do well for the japanese manufacturer, the bike also went on to become one of the bestselling 150cc motorcycles in the country. Of course, with a name like that gixxer is what suzuki's sportsbike family is called affectionately by enthusiasts the world over the bike had a certain ring to it besides being a well-packaged machine. A bunch of revised paint schemes over the years has ensured the gixxer kept cash registers ringing for suzuki, but let's admit it, the bike had started feeling dated thanks to competitors upping their game. And suzuki has just done that too with the new, 2019 gixxer. We put the bike through our road test scalpel to see if the new bike can continue the 'gixxer' legacy.

  • Gixxer 150 - your city commute option

    4 years ago


    Sanket

    After a point, the servicing cost of the bike goes up a lot. I have driven the bike for more than 1 lakh kms. It has given good support up to a point. This bike can be considered for an occasional commute. The pillion seating is not that comfortable and for long rides, it causes backache. Good for city driving only.

  • Pathetic service and spare availability though the bike is good. Would have given 0 star for service center support

    4 years ago


    Anandu

    I want to share my experience with suzuki gixxer as the worst choice that i have ever took. Not because the bike is bad but because the after sales service and engineer's knowledge about bike is 0.I found my fuel indicator complaint during my 3rd free service and told them(thopumpady service centre) to replace the part,But they didn't have the spare parts available, this continued till my 10th service and even after that they din't have the spares. But now i had to replace my break pads,fuel float chain sprockets but the service centre didn't have any of these parts and when I reached the showroom to take my bike it was not even touched, they just gave me back my bike saying parts are not available,I raised a complaint with suzuki and then a person from kundanoor(showroom manager i guess) contacted me and said he has arranged all the parts and will service the bike properly, but when i gave my bike chain sprocket was still not available and somehow they got One the next day and changed all the parts it cost me around 4500 for this service and then when i took the bike out it was not starting,They said that the spark plug is complaint and they didn't have a replacement, Then some how bike started and i took it home with lots of frustration in mind,Then the next day when i took my bike out for ride and filled petrol,i saw that the petrol was leaking from the bottom of the tank,I think it's from the area where new fuel float was fixed,you can imagine how dangerous the situation is,It could have resulted in a blast and cause fatality and risk not only to me but the people near that petrol pump,I somehow managed to drain all the petrol and parked my bike in the parking lot near the petrol bunk.

  • Made for single riders long drive

    4 years ago


    Rajesh Kanna

    The bike provides comfortable ride and it has really smooth engine but it's ground clearance is bit of a disadvantage and pillion seat is not comfortable for even half an hour of ride. But reliable when comes to traffic and highway rides and it's digital indicator is a plus as it shows the rpm speed and gear you are riding at along with time and other standard details.

    Bike is good not upto the mark. Service is really really poor. Only good looks doesn't make a bike good it requires an excellence in service too. Bought it on diwali in 2018. Average is quite good, giving 50km/l with light traffic. Top speed to which i ran it 106km/h. Brakes are nice. Abs is really good.

The bike has one of the best exhaust notes in the segment especially when it goes at 70-90km/h even after revving it so much I still get about 37 km mileage. The gearbox is a bit clunky. The bike has a low seat height but that doesn't make it uncomfortable for tall riders I'm 5'11 . The rear seat is too uncomfortable in this model but the new seats are great. Absolutely underrated bike. Braking performance is above average. Offroad performance is also great when compared to other bikes in the segment.
    Overall if I get to choose my first bike again, I will definitely choose the Gixxer. Now I'm buying another one as an upgrade to this one. This time an sf 250.

  • Gixxer - a good vehicle to ride on

    2 years ago


    Vignesh J

    I bought this amazing bike in the second half of 2015 for my daily office commute. I used to maintain it very well.
    It is a comfortable vehicle to ride on. In the past 6 years, I haven't faced any issues with this bike.
    Pros :
    - good engine performance
    - good milage
    - long-lasting one
    - stylish look
    Cons :
    - for family, does not suit well as pillion seat is a little bit high.

  • Good bike

    4 years ago


    Anoop

    Good bike for my travel partner.No major complaints still now.I will get 58 millage,He gixxer was the perfect shot in the arm for suzuki when it came out in 2014. In fact, not only did it do well for the japanese manufacturer, the bike also went on to become one of the bestselling 150cc motorcycles in the country. Of course, with a name like that gixxer is what suzuki's sportsbike family is called affectionately by enthusiasts the world over the bike had a certain ring to it besides being a well-packaged machine. A bunch of revised paint schemes over the years has ensured the gixxer kept cash registers ringing for suzuki, but let's admit it, the bike had started feeling dated thanks to competitors upping their game. And suzuki has just done that too with the new, 2019 gixxer. We put the bike through our road test scalpel to see if the new bike can continue the 'gixxer' legacy.

  • Gixxer 150 - your city commute option

    4 years ago


    Sanket

    After a point, the servicing cost of the bike goes up a lot. I have driven the bike for more than 1 lakh kms. It has given good support up to a point. This bike can be considered for an occasional commute. The pillion seating is not that comfortable and for long rides, it causes backache. Good for city driving only.

  • Pathetic service and spare availability though the bike is good. Would have given 0 star for service center support

    4 years ago


    Anandu

    I want to share my experience with suzuki gixxer as the worst choice that i have ever took. Not because the bike is bad but because the after sales service and engineer's knowledge about bike is 0.I found my fuel indicator complaint during my 3rd free service and told them(thopumpady service centre) to replace the part,But they didn't have the spare parts available, this continued till my 10th service and even after that they din't have the spares. But now i had to replace my break pads,fuel float chain sprockets but the service centre didn't have any of these parts and when I reached the showroom to take my bike it was not even touched, they just gave me back my bike saying parts are not available,I raised a complaint with suzuki and then a person from kundanoor(showroom manager i guess) contacted me and said he has arranged all the parts and will service the bike properly, but when i gave my bike chain sprocket was still not available and somehow they got One the next day and changed all the parts it cost me around 4500 for this service and then when i took the bike out it was not starting,They said that the spark plug is complaint and they didn't have a replacement, Then some how bike started and i took it home with lots of frustration in mind,Then the next day when i took my bike out for ride and filled petrol,i saw that the petrol was leaking from the bottom of the tank,I think it's from the area where new fuel float was fixed,you can imagine how dangerous the situation is,It could have resulted in a blast and cause fatality and risk not only to me but the people near that petrol pump,I somehow managed to drain all the petrol and parked my bike in the parking lot near the petrol bunk.

    4 years ago


    Rajesh Kanna

    The bike provides comfortable ride and it has really smooth engine but it's ground clearance is bit of a disadvantage and pillion seat is not comfortable for even half an hour of ride. But reliable when comes to traffic and highway rides and it's digital indicator is a plus as it shows the rpm speed and gear you are riding at along with time and other standard details.

    Bike is good not upto the mark. Service is really really poor. Only good looks doesn't make a bike good it requires an excellence in service too. Bought it on diwali in 2018. Average is quite good, giving 50km/l with light traffic. Top speed to which i ran it 106km/h. Brakes are nice. Abs is really good.

  • Fell in love with the suzuki engine

    1 year ago


    Goutham

    Absolutely love this bike..reached 40000kms It's a beast in mid-range performance. I commute about 70kms daily on it never been disappointed so far.. If properly maintained gixxer could be one of the best 150s out there. The things I don't like are the paint quality and the top end. The headlights have an awesome throw. Build quality is great if you don't count the paint quality. The bike has one of the best exhaust notes in the segment especially when it goes at 70-90km/h even after revving it so much I still get about 37 km mileage. The gearbox is a bit clunky.
