The new V-Strom SX is an adventure-tourer based on the Suzuki Gixxer 250, using the exact same engine and most of the hardware from the quarter-litre roadster. But, at the same time, it gets extra benefits that are associated with adventure-tourers. We tested this new product from the Japanese two-wheeler maker for a detailed road test review where we analysed its performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency levels. Here we tell you if the V-Strom SX deserves the price premium that it carries over the Gixxer 250 and whether you should buy it over the Royal Enfield Himalayan.
