The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer 155 is expected to see a marginal price hike over the outgoing model and we expect prices to start around ₹ 92,000 (ex-showroom), which won't be dramatically more expensive while also undercutting its rivals - the Yamaha FZ V3.0, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar 160NS, Honda CB Hornet 160R and the likes. The more exciting offering - Suzuki Gixxer 250 is expected to be priced around ₹ 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom), which will keep the model competitive against its rivals in the 250-300 cc naked segment.
