Bold Design and Fresh Aesthetics
The 2025 Gixxer 250 retains its aggressive, muscular look with a flat LED headlight, sculpted fuel tank, and tank extensions that scream streetfighter attitude. Suzuki has introduced three vibrant colour options: Metallic Mat Black No. 2, Metallic Triton Blue/Pearl Glacier White, and Metallic Mat Black No. 2/Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, enhancing its visual appeal. The 12-litre fuel tank and 17-inch alloy wheels with 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tubeless tyres ensure a commanding road presence, making it a head-turner for urban riders.
