Suzuki might be looking to come up with a GSX-S300. The affordable performance motorcycle segment in India has been on boil from the past few years. It was further heated up when BMW decided to finally launch the G 310 twins in India. Suzuki though, despite being one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers has been absent from this space. They did try their hand with the Inazuma 250 but the motorcycle couldn’t gain as much traction as the folks at Suzuki would have liked. Now they might be planning to ruffle some feathers in this segment. Something they sure did with the Gixxer 155 in its respective segment.
The spy shots of which have been captured in China for the very first time. The name displayed on the tank shrouds read DR300 but the possibilities are that if Suzuki decides to bring it in India it might as well be renamed to Suzuki GSX-S300.
Though the spy images don’t reveal a lot of details of the motorcycle but one can easily come up with the fact that it will come with LED headlamps, following the trend which is going on in this segment. Other details include the design of the alloy wheels, extended tank shrouds, engine belly pan and swingarm. The motorcycle captured in the spy images is also equipped with USD front forks, giving it a more upmarket feel.
The tyres seem to be sourced from Pirelli. Apparently, the motorcycle in question here is code-named as Haojue HJ300 in China. Suzuki has partnered with Haojue motorcycles to produce its small displacement motorcycles in China. The HJ300, reportedly has a 299 cc, parallel twin engine and will be mated to a 6 speed gearbox. The power figures and other technical details are yet to be revealed. It’s expected to feature petal disc brakes at both the ends and dual channel ABS as well.
Let us hope that it is launched in India as well and that too, soon to take the fight forward from Suzuki’s end to the bandwagon of other motorcycles such as KTM Duke 390, Benelli TNT 300, BMW G 310 R, Bajaj Dominar 400 and the likes.
