The new V-Strom SX is based on the company’s existing quarter-litre model, the Gixxer 250. The design includes a single-pod headlight, tall stance, muscular fuel tank, tall windscreen, and beak-style front fender. The feature list comprises an LED headlight, LED taillight, and a Bluetooth-enabled fully digital instrument cluster. Apart from the ride-related information, the console also shows alerts on incoming messages, calls, and turn-by-turn navigation. It also shows speed exceeding warnings and displays phone battery level. A USB charging slot and a rear luggage rack are also part of the package.

The mechanical specifications on the new V-Strom SX include a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled motor that delivers 26.5bhp of power and 22.2Nm of peak torque. The engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox.

The hardware comprises telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock to handle the suspension tasks. The anchoring setup includes single discs on both wheels while the safety net is handled by dual-channel ABS. The V-Strom SX rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels that are wrapped in dual-purpose 100/90 front and 140/70 rear tubeless tyres.
