DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

The GSX-8S is propelled by an all-new 776cc DOHC 270° crank parallel twin engine focussed on dynamic performance. It delivers abundant torque for flexibility suited to a range of riders, paired with a powerful top end for an exciting and rewarding ride.

AN EXCITING NEW FRAME

Designed around the new engine and made from steel tube sections, the frame is engineered to provide excellent straight-line stability, contribute to agile handling, and perform well in the city as-well-as at highway speeds. The new exposed subframe is designed to support the rider, and contribute to the GSX-8S’ slim appearance and stripped-down look.

AGILE HANDLING AND CORNERING PERFORMANCE

Featuring a wheelbase that is longer than on a typical naked streetfighter, this contributes to straight-line stability, while the overall chassis geometry provides agile handling and cornering performance. A priority of the geometry is to provide a comfortable riding position that effectively distributes weight to the front and rear. The new engine benefits the geometry with its compact front-rear dimensions, allowing the positioning of the rider’s hip to point well-forward. This in turn enables the rider to shift their weight toward the front and more easily control the GSX-8S when negotiating tight corners.

STRONG STOPPING POWER

Radially-mounted front brake calipers biting 310mm discs provide strong stopping power and predictable braking performance. The rear brake uses a 240mm disc and a single-piston pin-slide caliper.

A PLUSH RIDE AND STABLE DAMPING

KYB inverted front forks with a 130mm stroke deliver a plush ride and feature stable damping characteristics that makes them suitable for a wide range of riding styles. The dedicated link-type mono-shock KYB rear suspension is set up to contribute to straight-line stability and agility, even when carrying a passenger.

SPORTY WHEEL AND TYRES

The aluminium wheels feature a unique, lightweight design that adds style and contribute to the handling and sporty performance. They are fitted with a new generation of Dunlop RoadSport 2 radial tyres designed to perform optimally and provide consistent grip. The custom-engineered internal construction features a carcass and belt layer tuned to achieve the right level of rigidity to match the weight and performance characteristics of the GSX-8S, and to deliver the right combination of agile handling and stability. Dunlop’s proven tread pattern introduces a new silica compound that enhances positive grip in wet conditions and features durable wear resistance.

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM SWINGARM

The GSX-8S adopts an attractive aluminium swingarm with a unique shape that is engineered to perform with the right amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity providing confident handling stability and greater ride comfort.

TAPERED ALUMINIUM HANDLEBARS

The tapered aluminium handlebars are designed to provide a sporty-yet-comfortable upright riding position, and feature a wide enough grip to contribute to positive control.

COMFORTABLE AND SPORTY RIDING

Designed for comfortable and sporty riding. Delivering support for the rider toward its rear edge, the seat is shaped to offer freedom of movement and is covered in a material that provides positive grip. Featuring a slim design, the smoothly rounded edges of the seat also make it easier for the rider to plant their feet on the ground when stopped.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) is a collection of advanced electronic rider assist systems, which allow the rider to choose the settings for each system to best suit their preference or to suit the conditions. SIRS helps enhance an already exciting riding experience that inspires confidence and frees riders to concentrate on enjoying the ride.

COLOUR TFT DISPLAY

The GSX-8S uses a 5-inch colour TFT display. Clearly legible high-quality information displays keep you fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings, and supply vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer doubles up as a programmable rpm indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a pre-set speed, and adds a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and reminder. Manual or automatic switching settings for the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximise visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.

INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE

The styling for the new GSX-8S is based on the three core phrases: new era, visual structure, and icon. New era reflects the goal of creating a thoroughly modern design that sets a trend for an exciting new generation of motorcycles ready to carry the Suzuki brand into the future. Visual structure reflects the goal of exposing the bike’s functional parts, painting them in the new body colours, and simplifying the bodywork and graphics to put a spotlight on the visceral appeal of its structural elements. Icon reflects the goal to create a unique silhouette with an iconic presence that is instantly recognisable and symbolises the future of Suzuki design.

LED HEADLIGHT

The vertically-stacked pair of hexagonal LED headlights are designed to emulate the GSX-S1000 and use a bright mono-focus LED light source that provides the rider with a clear view of the road ahead. The vertical orientation of the thin, compact headlight assembly creates a sharp look with unique character that makes the front end look light and ready for action. Compact LED position lights flank the headlights as they trace forward and down along the front cowl. The angled design of these narrow slits add to the unique face.
