Suzuki say the new model’s equally at home cruising in town as it is rolling along an unpaved road. The V-STROM 250SX adds another layer to the already popular V-STROM family – and does so as a lightweight breath of fresh air thanks to an extremely manageable 167kg package.
The V-STROM 250SX is powered by a 249cc, fuel-injected, four-valve single-cylinder engine, with key engineering focus on enhanced cooling in demanding conditions for added peace of mind, and Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) credentials that balance the concept of excellent fuel economy and strong engine performance. Peak power and torque are 19.5kW@9,300rpm and 22.2Nm@7,300rpm, while the sporty short-style dual-exit muffler is a bespoke design for the V-STROM 250SX.

Suzuki say that a slim, nimble chassis makes it extremely agile to get around, and narrow side panels provide an easy reach to the ground. On unpaved roads the 19-inch front wheel and ample ground clearance (205mm) add a sense of stability alongside the reassurance of dual-channel ABS on the 310mm (front) and 240mm disc brakes.

The 10-spoke cast-aluminium wheels, including the 17-inch rear, are fitted with semi-block tyres which work well on both paved and unpaved roads for solid all-around usability.
A functional windscreen and knuckle covers make it an ideal touring proposition and, if pillions and/or luggage are a part of the mix, the V-STROM 250SX has a handy rear carrier that also functions as a grab bar. A sturdy subframe ensures that tandem riding and touring are a breeze, and the rear suspension has seven-step preload adjustment to support riding in various conditions.
Suzuki now have four capacity options for the V-STROM. Allowing riders to stay with the brand for a lifetime…
The V-STROM 250SX hits the utility and convenience mark like its larger-capacity siblings with a compact yet highly functional windscreen, knuckle covers, a USB outlet on the left side of the instrument cluster (which glows blue making it easier to use in low-light situations), vibration-absorbing rubber footpeg covers and a helmet holder.
Stylish LED headlights and taillights add to the sleek look, road presence and visibility, while the full LCD instrument cluster offers a wealth of information at a glance. Shown on the LCD display are the speedometer, tachometer, odometer, gear position indicator, two trip meters, instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, fuel level indicator, clock, and voltage meter.
