Suzuki Gixxer Day is a gathering of Suzuki Gixxer and Gixxer SF owners to celebrate the spirit of the hugely successful Street Sport Bike, while being entertained by the world class performance of the Freestyle Champion Aras Gibieza.  While New Delhi hosted the first edition of the Gixxer Day amidst much fan-fare, this event will continue in Kolkata (April 20), Shillong (April 23), Hyderabad (April 30), Chennai (May 05), Kochi (May 07), Bangalore (May 12), Mumbai (May 14) and Pune  (May 15).

Stunt-biking enthusiasts thronged in large numbers as Gibieza  demonstrated his formidable prowess in stunt-riding.  “I never expected the Indian audience to be such fervent stunt-riding fanatics. Each stunt I performed was met with loud cheers and thunderous applause which just egged me on to perform better. At the end of the day, a stunt-biker is only as good as his audience and I just experienced one of the best audiences I’ve been fortunate to perform in front of,” said Gibieza  after performing in New Delhi.

Winner of the Stunt Riding EuroCup, Aras has been fascinated by extreme sports from an early age. Discovering his passion for motorbikes at the early age of 10, Aras couldn’t pass by a two-wheeler without testing it out! Soon he was popping wheelies and dragging his feet on the ground while riding on the rear wheel to feel the balance of the bike. Since then, there has been no turning back and he has won many accolades and is determined to become the best stuntman in the world. Gibieza  who is 26 years old, will be seen flaunting his trademark 'Bunny Hops' and '360 degree wheelies' among many other new stunts and tricks and is sure to give India’s motorbike enthusiasts a visual treat.

Gibieza  has previously performed in India at Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Surat, Pune, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Kochi, Kolkata, Guwahati, Shillong and Hyderabad as a part of his tours last year.

SMIPL also used this opportunity to kickstart their #amGixxer campaign, where they have created a community of like minded Gixxer customers, fans and enthusiasts. This community shall provide a platform to host various activities across the country, mainly moderated via the digital medium of facebook and social media. Gixxer Day and a dedicated ‘amGixxer’ facebook page are the first of such community activities to be taken up under the #amGixxer campaign.

Satoshi Uchida, Managing Director, SMIPL, said “With constant support of our customers, SMIPL continues to offer new products and technologies to the Indian market. We are pleased to introduce our new variant of the much loved Gixxer range. It is one of our most successful products, and to commemorate its success, we are celebrating Gixxer Day with all our customers and bike enthusiasts who have been an integral part of this journey. Through this, Suzuki wishes to cater to the appetite of Gixxer customers for more intense engagement with the brand”.
