Suzuki fans and adventure riding enthusiasts braved the Friday Carmageddon and the bad weather brought on by tropical storm Paeng this afternoon just to be able to personally witness the official unveiling of the Suzuki’s so-called master of adventure, the all-new V-STROM 250 SX.

The engine

At the heart of the V-STROM 250 SX is Suzuki's Advanced Technology. It is powered by the highly reliable Suzuki Eco Performance, Fuel Injected (SEP FI) 250cc, 4 stroke, single cylinder, 4-valve, Single Overhead Cam engine that saves fuel yet offers brisk, smooth performance, making it an excellent partner for various kinds of riding. The SEP Fi engine also features a weight-saving and friction-reducing technology to allow for both fuel consumption and excellent power characteristics, resulting in brisk acceleration; even with minimal use of fuel in the process. The V-STROM 250 SX uses the Suzuki Oil Cooling System (SOCS) which warms up the engine quickly and keeps it at the optimum temperature for ideal temperature management. It also consists of a few parts for easy maintenance.

Wheels and suspension

The V-STROM 250 SX sports a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear Spoke Cast Aluminum Wheels with a semi-block style pattern that offers stability and excellent control over various kinds of road surfaces. The V-STROM 250 SX has a high ground clearance of 205mm adding confidence while traversing through obstacles. It is also equipped with a Dual Channel Antilock Brake System (ABS) that monitors front and rear wheel speeds individually. This matches stopping power to available traction, providing more confidence and control.

On the saddle

The V-STROM 250 SX features a Full Digital Inverted Instrument Panel for better visibility that also provides comprehensive ride information. It is equipped with the Suzuki Easy Start System for easy starting of the engine. It also sports a USB Charger outlet for added convenience during your ride. Its aluminum Grab Bar and Rear Carrier is the perfect feature for riders with passengers since it gives a solid place to hold onto. The Two-tone Split-seat has a sporty look that also provides comfort to both the rider and the passenger. Its Rear Carrier has a 6kg carrying capacity that has four convenient hooks to secure extra baggage.

The all-new V-STROM 250 SX has a delightfully competitive price tag of PHP 229,000 and has two color options: Champion Yellow and Glass Sparkle Black. Unfortunately, units will only be available in January 2023 but customers can already make reservations. For more information, you may send an email to Kathleen.paguio@suzuki.com.ph.

The all-new V-STROM 250 SX will be on display in the Suzuki Hub of the Philippine Performance and Lifestyle Expo at the World Trade Center until October 30 (Sunday).
