Honda Bikes Under 3.5 Lakh In India

Auto Expo 2025 witnessed innovation in the world of automobiles. Among the exhibits were three flex-fuel bikes-Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel, TVS Raider 125 FFT, and Honda CB 300F Flex Fuel. These fuel-flex bikes will run on ethanol-blended fuels, which makes riding cleaner and more sustainable. Let's brief ourselves about these two-wheelers: What is Fuel-Flex Technology? Fuel-Flex Technology enables automobiles to run with several types of fuel combinations. In most cases, this consists of petrol mixed with ethanol, which is a cleaner and more renewable type of fuel.  Flex-fuel engines are constructed to self-adapt to high ethanol levels, such as in E85 (85% ethanol, 15% petrol). It decreases carbon emissions and makes consumers less dependent on gasoline. Additionally, it affords users more flexible choices with environmentally friendly types of fuel. Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Flex FuelSuzuki has launched its first flex-fuel sports bike in India, the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel. This bike is priced at Rs. 2,16,500 (ex-showroom). It is now OBD2B compliant and can run on fuels with up to 85% ethanol. The Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel is fitted with a 250cc liquid-cooled engine with 27.9PS of power and 22.5Nm of torque. It also comes with a 6-speed gearbox. In addition to the engine, it comes equipped with new fuel injectors, a fuel pump, and a fuel filter, which would enhance the acceptance of ethanol-blended fuel. Furthermore, it has two classy colour options - Metallic Mat Black No. 2 / Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red and Metallic Mat Black No. 2. TVS Raider 125 FFTThe TVS company also revealed the Raider 125 FFT, which is a flex-fuel edition of its sporty commuter bike. The bike has Flex-Fuel Technology (FFT) and uses E85. It has an air-cooled, 125cc single-cylinder engine that churns out 11.38PS and 11.2Nm of torque. The bike is also equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. While there's no official launch for the Raider FFT yet, it is expected to make its market debut in mid-2025. Honda CB 300F Flex FuelHonda showcased the CB 300F Flex Fuel at the expo. It is already on sale in India for Rs. 1,70,000 (ex-showroom) and is available in Sports Red and Mat Axis Grey Metallic shades. It uses a 293.52cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that puts out 24.8PS and 25.9Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and has a slip-and-assist clutch. In addition, it has an ethanol indicator that identifies fuel blends above 85% ethanol. Modern amenities include an LCD instrument cluster, all-LED lighting, and traction control. Before you go, don’t forget to check out the recently launched 2025 Honda Livo bike.Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fbInstagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_instaTwitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter 

The 250cc streetfighter segment is on fire with Hero Xtreme 250R launched recently at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. As of now, the bike is a direct competitor to the Suzuki Gixxer 250, which has been recently updated with features. Both these bikes promise better performance, sharp designs, and modern features. So, let us compare them so that you can pick the best bike for your requirements. Pricing & Colour Schemes The Suzuki Gixxer 250 is priced between Rs. 1.81 to 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the Xtreme 250R is tagged at Rs. 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom), which means it is cheaper by Rs. 18,000 than its counterpart. This bike is not only affordable, but Hero has also provided three bold colour options for it. These include Firestorm Red, Neon Shooting Star, and Stealth Black. The Suzuki Gixxer 250 comes in elegant shades of matte black and matte blue. Design and StylingThe Xtreme 250R offers aggressive, sporty looks, treading on sharp tank extensions and angular LED headlamps. There's the split seat and high tail section, adding much to the streetfighter appeal of this Hero bike. There are gold-coloured inverted forks that actually give a premium touch to the design of the motorcycle. On the other hand, the Suzuki Gixxer 250 features a slim, minimalist design. It comes with clean lines, a smooth fuel tank, and a compact tail section. Apart from that, the design makes it seem more mature and refined on the road. Performance and HardwareThe Gixxer 250 features a 249cc liquid-cooled engine generating 26.14 bhp and 22.2 Nm of torque. It sports a 6-speed gearbox, but it takes its own route to comfort with the use of a telescopic front fork rather than the inverted forks that were used. Both the bikes run on 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-channel ABS, and disc brakes on both ends. On the other hand, its competitor is equipped with a 249.03cc liquid-cooled engine that churns out 29.5bhp and 25Nm of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch. Hero employs a trellis frame with a suspension comprising 43mm inverted forks up front and an adjustable preload monoshock in the rear. Features and TechnologyHero Xtreme 250R takes the lead in some advanced features, including switchable ABS, traction control, and riding modes. On top of it, there's an LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity supporting navigation, call alerts, and media controls. Whereas, in the Gixxer 250, this feature set seems a little plain. While including turn-by-turn Bluetooth connectivity and alerting features for notifications, this bike does not offer switchable ABS and traction control. Before you go, don’t forget to check out the recently launched Kawasaki Ninja 500 bike.Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fbInstagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_instaTwitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
