The Urban Athlete
Sleek, flowing lines invite you to climb aboard and ride into the future. Sporty styling true to Suzuki’s sportbike heritage brings instant excitement. Look and feel your best wherever you decide to spread your wings. The Suzuki GSX250R 2019 is ready to take you beyond mere satisfaction.
Brilliant performance
Featuring positive response, a broad power band, ease of control and class-leading level of fuel efficiency, the performance realized by the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 goes beyond what one would normally expect from a 250cm3 motorcycle.
Each aspect related to performance is optimized to fully tap the bike’s potential and deliver pure delight, whether riding in town or heading out on a long touring run.
Engine
The 248cm3 parallel-twin engine that powers the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 underwent thorough analysis and optimization to maximize low- to mid-range torque and provide a powerful ride that features ease of control. The overall efficiency achieved also helps realize class-leading level of fuel economy*1 and clean performance that satisfies the stringent Euro 4 emissions. With a full tank of gasoline, the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 has a riding range of approximately 480km*2.
*1 4-stroke 2-cylinder 250cm3 class (As of October 2016)
*2 Calculated based on the Worldwide Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC mode) exhaust emissions measuring conditions measured by Suzuki. Actual fuel economy and riding range may differ owing to differences in conditions such as the weather, road, rider behavior and maintenance.
Piston
Thin, low tension piston rings were adopted to reduce friction and the shape of the piston ring grooves was also optimized.
Spark plug
Adopting the use of projected tip spark plugs speeds up the rate of combustion. This improves response, especially when the throttle is not open far, and also improves fuel economy.
Oil pump
Optimization of the oil pump reduces friction loss and contributes to an increase in engine output and improvement in fuel economy.
New intake valve design
The port sections on the intake valves are designed to optimize airflow into the combustion chamber. This helps achieve a high level of thermal efficiency for improved performance and reduced emissions.
Cylinder
The honing pattern used for the cylinder barrels maintains lubrication for the pistons in a manner that helps minimize any loss of performance due to friction.
Cylinder head
The cylinder head adopts roller type rocker arms that minimize friction loss.
Camshaft
The cam profile for the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 delivers maximum acceleration performance at speeds between 20km/h to 90km/h, as this is the range that is used most often. As an additional benefit, the cam profile also suppresses noise generation to deliver a smoother, more pleasant ride.
Highly efficient, lightweight exhaust system
The two-into-one exhaust system for the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 features an optimized shape for the chamber in front of the catalyzer. This maximizes acceleration performance at mid-range speeds, while the efficiency of the system also reduces exhaust emissions. The muffler adopts a shape that contributes to better engine output and torque by reducing power loss. It delivers a pleasing sound while its design also contributes to better cornering.
A sport bike that is equally adept at daily riding and touring
The Suzuki GSX250R 2019 is ready to perform as the all-round urban athlete. Its sporty good looks and nimble, responsive performance makes for exhilarating fun. At the same time, its sporty nature is complemented by a smooth and comfortable nature that is equally at home on the daily commute or when touring.
Distinctive position lamps and taillight design
Enhancing the sporty, aggressive look and futuristic flair of the Suzuki GSX250R 2019 are newly designed surface-emitting LEDs employed by the position lamps up front and the taillight in the rear. Their smooth edge-to-edge illumination and the chevron-like shape that flanks the headlight create a truly distinctive and highly appealing lighting scheme. Adopting clear lenses for the front and rear turn signals adds to the stylish appearance.
Full LCD instrumentation
The Suzuki GSX250R 2019 features a reverse-lit LCD instrument panel. Readouts include the speedometer, tachometer, gear position and RPM indicator, odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel gauge, average fuel consumption and oil change timing indicators, and a clock.
Wheels, tires and brakes designed to perform
The sporty flair of newly designed 10-spoke wheels pairs with IRC tires that provide a solid grip on the road. Stopping power is provided by Petal-type front and rear disc brakes. An Antilock Brake System (ABS)*3 made by BOSCH is also available*4 to deliver yet greater confidence and control.
*3 ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
*4 Only equipped on ABS model.
Front and rear (KYB) suspension with custom settings
Contributes to weight reduction and retains reassuring handling characteristics, while at the same time adding a sportier feel.
Clip-on handlebars
The relatively low mounting point of the separate left and right handlebars is sporty, but at the same time designed to provide a comfortable riding position around town or when touring.
Independent rider and passenger seats
The Suzuki GSX250R 2019 adopts the sporty styling of independent seats for the rider and passenger. Even so, each seat provides plenty of cushioning to make long rides comfortable. The slim design of the fuel tank also helps the rider easily plant their feet on the ground when stopped.
