The Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX is a quarter-litre ‘baby’ dual-sport adventure motorcycle recently introduced in India.
- All new Suzuki V-Strom SX is a ‘baby’ dual-sport packing the right style and features.
- It harnesses the 250cc single lifted from the Suzuki GSX250R, offering 26HP and 22.2NM.
- Key features include dual-channel ABS, digital dash with connectivity function, and more.
At the time, the baby V-Strom is an India-only motorcycle but the bike’s potential in similar Asian markets in undeniable.
That said, it is likely that the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX could make its way to Malaysia soon.
We recently managed to witness the test mule on Malaysian road, indicating Suzuki Malaysia intention of introducing the baby V-Strom for the local market.
This is certainly an exciting development considering the 250cc market lacks ADV-type motorcycle.
Currently, the Benelli TRK 250 is the only contender in this segment in Malaysia.
For starters, it harnesses the same 250cc single derived from the Suzuki GSX250R, delivering about 26HP and 22.2NM of twist through a six-speed constant-mesh transmission.
The Suzuki V-Strom SX reportedly weighs in at about 167KG, which makes said output figures rather adequate.
The pint-sized V-Strom features a telescopic front fork with 120mm of stroke dialled in, and it’s paired with a rear swingarm-mounted rear shock offering seven-level pre-load adjustment.
The wheels, on the other hand, measure 19-inches un front and 17-inches at the rear. As for braking, it’s a single disc brake setup both front and aft, and both are tied to a dual-channel ABS suite as well.
Other notable features include a digital meter panel display brimmed with Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging port, all-LED lighting, as well as the novel Suzuki Easy Start System electric ignition suite.
