Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Manufactured in Nepal: Price and Features

The Nepali motorbike scene has just taken a significant leap with the local assembly of the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250. Previously imported, this dual-sport adventure motorcycle is now rolling off local assembly lines thanks to Vishal Group, Suzuki’s official distributor in Nepal. The move is more than symbolic—it's strategic. With rising demand for affordable adventure bikes and a growing interest in touring, Suzuki's decision to assemble the V-Strom SX 250 in Nepal reflects the brand’s serious intent to dominate the adventure segment. V-Strom is now available in new Pearl Blue and Pearl Glacier White colors. Despite the color there is no major changes made.

Local assembly has not compromised on quality. The SX 250 continues to mirror the Indian version in design, build, and performance—with the added benefit of being more accessible and service-friendly within Nepal.

Design

The Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 proudly carries the rugged visual DNA of its adventure motorcycle lineage while blending modern aesthetics with functional design. At first glance, its standout beak-style front fender, directly inspired by Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z and DR-BIG, reinforces its off-road-ready image. 

The semi-fairing design, tall windscreen, and knuckle guards not only enhance the bike’s bold profile but also serve practical roles in wind deflection and rider protection. Borrowing elements from the Gixxer 250, including the LED headlamp and sleek indicators, the V-Strom SX manages to strike a balance between aggressive styling and familiar Suzuki traits. Its fully digital instrument cluster, though lacking Bluetooth connectivity, provides all essential ride data at a glance.

From the side, the split-seat layout and a large 19-inch front tyre command attention, hinting at touring comfort and light trail capabilities. The dual-barrel exhaust and a robust rear carrier with a 6kg load capacity enhance both its urban practicality and adventure appeal.

Performance

At the heart of the V-Strom SX 250 is a 249cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder, SOHC engine, borrowed from Suzuki’s Gixxer 250. Though it’s the smallest in the V-Strom family, it delivers 26.5 PS of power at 9000 rpm and 22.6 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm—figures that are well-suited for both city commutes and weekend escapades.

It’s paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and boasts a top speed of around 122 km/h, with a real-world mileage of 30-35 km/l. These specs make it a solid option for those new to adventure riding or looking for a budget-friendly dual-sport machine.
