The V-STROM SX just got a new face, and it’s not the kind you’d expect from a mid-size adventurer. Suzuki has dropped a dual-tone finish—Glass Sparkle Black paired with Metallic Matte Fibroin Gray—onto its 250cc flagship, priced at Rs 202,118 ex-showroom in Delhi. For buyers who find the standard all-black or the bright yellow too loud, this matte-grey-on-black combo offers a subtler, more premium look that arguably suits the bike’s urban-commuter-cum-weekender vibe better than the aggressive factory colours.
Mechanically, nothing has changed. The bike still runs the 249 cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder SOHC engine producing 26.5 PS and 22.2 Nm of torque. That output is enough to make it a comfortable highway cruiser but not so powerful that it intimidates newer riders. It sits in a crowded segment where the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure are the primary targets, though the SX undercuts both on price significantly. The revised body graphics are the only visual cue beyond the paint, giving the tank and side panels a cleaner, more modern line.
This new shade joins three existing options: Champion Yellow No. 2 with Glass Sparkle Black, Pearl Glacier White with Metallic Matte Stellar Blue, and the standalone Glass Sparkle Black. Suzuki is clearly betting on colour variety to keep the model fresh in a market where buyers are increasingly fickle about aesthetics. The dual-tone treatment isn’t just a tint; it’s a distinct paint job that differentiates the SX from the entry-level Gixxer 250, which shares the same engine.
For now, the new variant is available immediately across dealerships. No launch event means no delay—you can walk into a showroom today and order it. With the price holding steady and no mechanical upgrades, this is purely a styling play. If you’ve been waiting for a less conspicuous colour for your V-STROM SX, this is your cue.
