Suzuki Motorcycle India launches Refreshed V-STROM SX; Flags off Himalayan Adventure

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL), the two-wheeler arm of the Japanese automotive giant Suzuki Motor Corporation, has officially unveiled the refreshed V-STROM SX adventure tourer in India, now offered in a palette of four bold new colours and updated graphics. This latest version continues to build upon the V-STROM SX’s trusted engineering and design language, while presenting riders with a more dynamic and visually engaging aesthetic.

The four new dual-tone and monotone colour options include:

• Pearl Fresh Blue with Glass Sparkle Black
• Champion Yellow No. 2 with Glass Sparkle Black
• Pearl Glacier White with Metallic Mat Stellar Blue
• Glass Sparkle Black

Complemented by sport-inspired decals and a newly textured pattern on the side panels, the V-STROM SX now carries an enhanced visual identity—one that mirrors its robust adventure DNA with a touch of modern flair.

In celebration of the launch, Suzuki Motorcycle India flagged off its inaugural V-STROM Expedition, a curated 10-day adventure ride designed exclusively for V-STROM SX owners. Departing from Delhi and culminating in the capital on 5th October 2025, this expedition offers an immersive Himalayan journey, inviting participants to explore the diverse terrains of Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh aboard their V-STROM SX machines.

Throughout the expedition, riders will encounter a compelling mix of high-altitude mountain passes, twisting roads, and unpaved trails, all designed to highlight the SX’s rugged performance, engine reliability, and composed handling across varied terrain. The motorcycle’s upright ergonomics and long-travel suspension ensure rider comfort even in the most demanding conditions.

In line with the spirit of community and learning, participants will also benefit from expert-led sessions covering high-altitude riding techniques, obstacle handling, first-aid essentials, and astro-focused adventure photography. These activities, coupled with evening cultural gatherings, aim to foster deeper bonds within the V-STROM rider community and instil confidence in long-distance adventure touring.

Staying true to its legacy, the V-STROM SX draws its design inspiration from the legendary Suzuki DR-Z and DR-BIG series, incorporating the family’s signature “beak” design—a hallmark of the brand’s adventure-touring lineage.

At the heart of the motorcycle lies a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled SOHC engine, compliant with OBD-2B norms. It delivers 26.5 PS at 9,300 rpm and 22.2 Nm of torque at 7,300 rpm, balanced by Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP)and the innovative Suzuki Oil Cooling System (SOCS) for optimal efficiency and thermal management.

This powertrain setup enables the V-STROM SX to confidently straddle daily commutes and long-haul expeditions, appealing to both urban riders and off-road aficionados.

The refreshed Suzuki V-STROM SX is now available at authorised Suzuki dealerships across India, priced at INR 1,98,018 (ex-showroom, Delhi). To sweeten the offering, customers may avail themselves of attractive promotional benefits including:

• Exchange bonuses of up to INR 5,000/-*

Ltd., said, “The launch of the V-STROM SX in new colours with refreshed graphics gives our customers more exciting choices while staying true to the motorcycle’s proven reliability and performance.
