Suzuki Gixxer Cup 2018: Media Endurance Race : PowerDrift

This year's Suzuki Gixxer Cup included a special round of Media Endurance Race at Kari Speedway in Coimbatore. An endurance race is more about employing right strategies, consistency and durability than outright speed. So it was the perfect chance for Raghav to prove his mettle. Any guesses on how he fared?

Endurance races are the perfect test of man and machine, and of the bond that they share with each other. Then again, everyone has their own preferences, some like road races, others like circuit races, while some prefer rallies! At the end the end of the day, we celebrate our passion for all things two wheels!

The clip-ons would have made the SF more committed than it should have been. The SF is more of a versatile bike that can take on most of the tasks you throw at it. Clip-ons would have taken away that versatility.

It's been 8 months since I bought my Gixxer sf black. It doesn't have ABS .yet breaking has enough bite. Gears are a bit clunky ,it would irritate you within the city.Power delivery is very exciting and smooth.pillion seat cant take over 80kg.since the underbelly gets scrapped over speed breakers.But still enjoying mine....if you haven't made up your mind yet try Apache 160 and Hero extreme 200.they are both in the same price bracket.....my opinion Gixxer sf is really good ..but if you do buy ,buy a fi one over a carburetor version.
