  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Choose the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 if

Measured: 48 mm more ground clearance.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
