Last time the hike for most of the bikes was around Rs 186, save for the Gixxer SF that observed a raise of Rs 1,216. This time the hike is more severe, as the surge ranges between Rs 2,013 to Rs 2,074.

• In the 160cc segment, the Suzuki Gixxer naked streetfighter rivals the likes of Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 (Rs 1.10 lakh), TVS Apache RTR 160 4V (Rs 1.07 – 1.10 lakh), Hero Xtreme 160R (Rs 1.03 – 1.06 lakh), and the Yamaha FZ version 3.0 (Rs 1.07 – 1.09 lakh. It was already the most pricey bike in the segment, and with the price bump, it has become even more expensive, which might affect its sales. 

• The most popular Suzuki motorcycle, the Gixxer SF fully-faired motorcycle has no direct rival in the Indian market. However, the Yamaha R15 (Rs 1.47 – 1.50 lakh) and the Hero Xtreme 200s (Rs 1.17 lakh) can be considered its closest alternatives. 
• The Gixxer 250 is priced competitively against its core rivals- Yamaha FZ 25 (Rs 1.52 lakh), and Bajaj Dominar 250 (Rs 1.67 lakh). There aren’t any direct rivals to the Suzuki Gixxer 250 SF. 

• The Suzuki Intruder cruiser, on the other hand, now demands as much money as the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 (Rs 1.24 lakh).
