Sales growth of Suzuki two-wheelers were flat in August 2019 too and while monthly sales volumes are far less than those of the market leaders in the two-wheeler segment; the company has managed to have positive growth even if it is marginal. Suzuki believes that one of the key reasons is the slew of new launches in the last few months, starting with the 250 cc Gixxers and then introducing a new variant of the Suzuki Access as well.
