After teasing the new Suzuki GSX-S1000 in early April 2021, the Japanese two-wheeler giant has now revealed its latest litre-class sportbike. The updated model of the GSX-S1000 features several cosmetic and design changes, a more powerful and eco-friendly engine, and a comprehensive electronics package.
The new Suzuki GSX-S1000 flaunts a much
modern, sharper, and sportier design than its predecessor. Perhaps, the most
eye-catching element of the new motorcycle is its vertically stacked LED
headlights with an aggressive-looking headlight mask. The extended fuel tank
shrouds and radiator shrouds also add to the overall styling of the machine.
They also appear to be more aerodynamic in nature. The side profile of the new
GSX-S1000 has been improved thanks to the split seats, sculpted fuel tank, and
a compact yet sporty exhaust.
Bringing the new Suzuki GSX-S1000 to life
is a 999 cc inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine that is capable of pumping out 150 bhp
at 11,000 rpm and 108 Nm at 9,500 rpm. The motor has been worked upon to meet
the stricter emission regulations. Suzuki has used new intake and exhaust
camshaft profiles. The company says that the new GSX-S1000 has a strong bottom
end and gains 5bhp when compared to the previous model.
In terms of electronics, the new Suzuki
GSX-S1000 comes equipped with a 5-stage traction control system, 3 riding
modes, bi-directional quick-shifter, auto-blipper, Suzuki easy start-stop
system, and more. All the settings can be altered via the switchgear and the new
digital instrument cluster. As for the hardware, there’s a pair of 43mm USD KYB
forks with fully adjustable damping, rebound, compression and spring preload
settings for the front suspension duties. For the rear, there’s a monoshock
that is also adjustable for rebound and preload. Suzuki is also offering a wide
range of optional accessories.
Internationally, the new GSX-S1000 will have 3 colour options -
Metallic Triton Blue, Glass Matte Mechanical Grey, and Glass Sparkle Black.
