    Club members started from SPH’s plant to the hot springs in Pansol, Calamba City, Laguna. The scenic ride traversed through Casile round-about to Jose Yulo Boulevard, Mayapa, Checkpoint, and Crossing culminating at Villa Caridad Leisure Resort in Pansol.

    The Suzuki Gixxer Fi is a middleweight streetfighter-style motorcycle that has been a popular choice for many Filipino enthusiasts.

    It is fitted with a 154 cubic centimeter (cc) engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission system. On paper, it puts out some 19 horsepower with 14 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to give the two-wheeled steed a good balance of oomph and pulling power that’s ideal for both short and long rides in and outside the city.

    Per the Japanese motorcycle marque’s local arm, the Suzuki Gixxer Fi clocks in at 50 kilometers per liter.

    Deceleration and halting are handled by disc brakes on both ends. It rides on 17-inch wheels with a 100/80 tire at the front and a 140/60 tire at the rear. For its suspension, the Suzuki Gixxer Fi gets a long front telescopic fork and a swing arm-type setup at the rear.

    Meanwhile, (its bigger brother) the Suzuki Gixxer 250, packs a 249 cc mill paired with a six-speed constant mesh transmission that makes around 26.1 horses and 22.6 Nm of torque. The beefier two-wheeler is better suited for long-distance rides thanks to its engine with a larger displacement.

    Stopping power comes from disc brakes (front and back) with anti-lock braking, for improved safety. They are housed in 17-inch wheels wrapped with a 110/70 tire at the front and a 150/60 tire at the rear.

    Suspension-wise, it gets a telescopic front fork with coil springs and oil dampening as well as a swing arm-type set up at the rear with similar features.

    “Beyond the motorcycle itself, the strong sense of community fostered by the Gixxer Club of the Philippines has been instrumental in maintaining its popularity. Members share a passion for riding and create lasting bonds through shared experiences, events, and rides,” the company noted.

    “This camaraderie has solidified the Gixxer's position as a motorcycle that goes beyond transportation; it's a lifestyle. In essence, the Suzuki Gixxer's enduring appeal lies in its ability to deliver an exceptional riding experience while remaining practical and affordable. Coupled with the strong community built around it, the Gixxer has cemented its place as a favorite among Filipino motorcycle enthusiasts,” SPH added.
