• Is Suzuki Gixxer SF better than Bajaj Pulsar AS150?

  Be it Honda or Bajaj or Yahama or Suzuki, the 150 ccs segment had witnessed a plethora of action since last year. Bike lovers often ask us which of the above-mentioned two bikes should be parked in their garage? Well, our experts concluded Suzuki Gixxer SF to be better than Bajaj Pulsar AS 150, citing various reasons as mentioned below:-

  
  

  • Design and Features: With its full fairing, the Gixxer SF is the most handsome bike with its creases, scoops, and muscular tank that flows well with the overall design. However, the Bajaj Pulsar AS 150 is equipped with a quarter fairing. Also, the Suzuki Gixxer SF employs an all-digital instrument cluster whereas the Pulsar AS 150 has a semi-digital console.
  • Engine and Performance: The Pulsar AS 150 houses the most powerful air-cooled 150 ccs motor, equipped with 4-valves that push out 17 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 13 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. Although the Suzuki Gixxer SF cannot match the grunt of the Pulsar AS 150, Suzuki's engine refinement and motor feels are far better engineered than that of Bajaj.
  • Ride, Handling, and Braking: The upright riding posture of Suzuki Gixxer gives it a lower ranking compared to Bajaj Pulsar AS 150 if we go for a sporty look. However, it is highly comfortable for long distances. At the same time the handling dynamics, communicative chassis, telescopic fork, and mono-shock unit suspension duties, makes Gixxer SF an absolute delight.
  • Fuel efficiency and Pricing: The Pulsar AS 150 returned us an overall figure of 52 kmpl while the Suzuki Gixxer ran 47 km on a litre of fuel. Also, the pricing of Pulsar is less than Suzuki. However, one cannot just ignore the built quality and Japanese technology that Suzuki employs, making their products far more durable.

• Which model of Suzuki Gixxer SF is best?

  The Moto GP version is the best Suzuki Gixxer SF variant which is oil-cooled and has a single cylinder. However, it is priced at an upper range of Rs.1.75L to Rs.1.8L. The lower-priced variants are no less and give absolutely the same kind of performance with small technical specification changes. Suzuki has left no stone unturned to provide a holistic blend of modern features and sporty design in the different variants of Gixxer SF. So if you are looking for a powerful and durable bike on a limited budget, you can go for the 150 ccs variant which costs almost Rs.50,000 less. However, if budget is not an issue, we would strongly recommend the 250 ccs variant.
