Suzuki Motorcycle India has donated 40 customised V-Strom SX 250 motorcycles to the Gurgaon Police as part of its CSR initiative to enhance road and rider safety. The handover event was inaugurated by Vikas Arora, Commissioner of Police, Gurugram, and Kenichi Umeda, MD of Suzuki Motorcycle India.
These police-specific V-Strom SX 250 bikes come with several modifications, including a custom white paint job, tall windscreen, and ‘Police’ lettering on the front and fuel tank. They are also equipped with red and blue beacon lights and a siren for enhanced visibility and communication.
The V-Strom SX 250 is powered by a 249 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that delivers around 25 bhp at 9,300 rpm and 22 Nm of peak torque at 7,300 rpm. It features a 6-speed gearbox, telescopic forks at the front, and a 7-step preload adjustable mono-shock at the rear. Braking is managed by disc brakes on both ends with dual-channel ABS for added safety. The bike rides on dual-purpose tyres with a 19-inch wheel at the front and a 17-inch wheel at the rear.
Modern features of the V-Strom SX 250 include a digital instrument console and a USB charging port. It also boasts Bluetooth connectivity, providing missed call alerts, caller ID, turn-by-turn navigation, and updates on messages and speed limits. The bike weighs 167 kg and is priced at ₹2.12 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
