The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF gets a new full-fairing along the lines of the SF 250. The bike gets a new and wider LED headlamp with the handlebar upgraded to clip-ons. The body graphics are new as well and so are the split seats that replace the step-up style single seat that was seen on the older version. You also get an LED taillight along with a rear tyre hugger.

Power on the new Suzuki Gixxer SF continues to come from the 154 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine with fuel-injection that is tuned for 14 bhp and 14.1 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 5-speed transmission. Suspension duties are taken care by telescopic forks up front, which the company says are now stiffer for better feedback while rear continues to grt a monoshock unit. There are disc brakes at either end and single-channel ABS as standard on the Gixxer. The bike's kerb weight stands at 146 kg.

Bookings are already open for the new Gixxer SF, while deliveries should begin by the end of the month.
