The Xtreme 250R takes a more aggressive and sporty approach to design. It features sharp tank extensions, an angular LED headlight, a split-seat design, and a high rear tail section. The gold-coloured inverted fork further adds a premium look to the bike. It is available in three colour options: Neon Shooting Star, Stealth Black, and Firestorm Red.

On the other hand, the Gixxer 250 has a more clean look with clean lines. It features a sleek fuel tank, and a minimalistic tail section. The bike gets three colours: Metallic Mat Black No. 2, Metallic Mat Bordeaux Red, and Metallic Triton Blue/Pearl Glacier White.

Performance

The Xtreme 250R is powered by a 250cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 30PS, 25Nm, and mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.

The Gixxer 250 shares its engine with the Gixxer SF 250. The 249cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine produces 26.5PS, 22.2Nm, and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox here as well.

Underpinnings

The Xtreme uses an inverted fork, while the Gixxer 250 uses a 41mm telescopic fork. Both bikes get a preload-adjustable monoshock, dual-channel ABS, 17-inch alloy wheels and disc brakes at both ends.

Features

Both bikes have an LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and a USB Type-C charging port. But the Gixxer misses out on features like riding modes, switchable ABS, and traction control.
