2025 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX

Majestic Performance

The GX is powered by a 999cm3 liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine engineered to perform optimally under diverse riding conditions and in all kinds of traffic. Derived from the engine that helped carry the GSX-R1000 supersport machine to countless racing championship titles, this street-tuned powerplant benefits from a fusion of race-proven engineering and the latest in technological advances to achieve the durability and balanced performance needed to support both long-distance touring and aggressive sport riding, while also satisfying Euro 5 emissions standards.

Features include superbike-level performance and a broad, smooth torque curve throughout the engine’s operating range. Vibration is also minimized to make riding more comfortable and less tiring. This combines with a variety of electronic control technologies that enable you to match torque output to the type of ride or your preferred riding style at any given time and includes the excitement of powerful acceleration to support aggressive sport riding when desired.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

The slipper clutch partially disengages when downshifting, mitigating the effect of engine braking and contributing to smoother deceleration that lets you shift down confidently and helps you maintain better control. This is complemented by an assist function that increases the clutch’s clamping force under acceleration and thereby allows the use of softer springs, realizes a light touch to clutch lever operation and reduces left hand fatigue in traffic jams or on longer rides.

A Chassis Engineered for a Superior Crossover Riding Experience

Every aspect of chassis development focused on achieving the right balance of agility, controllability and comfort needed to realize a superior crossover riding experience. The GX delivers satisfying sportbike performance that reflects the heritage of Suzuki’s GSX-R1000, while also providing the real-world comfort, convenience and handling ease demanded of a sport adventure tourer.

Core strength is provided by a solid frame and swing arm that ably support the engine’s superbike-level performance. Long wheel travel in both the front and rear helps smooth out rougher surfaces, while Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 tires provide sure grip. In addition, the GX is the first Suzuki motorcycle to introduce Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES), which automatically adjusts damping force on the fly and offers versatile level settings to match the riding conditions of the moment. Other details include an upright riding position, floating handlebars that contribute to reducing fatigue and improving comfort by reducing the amount of vibration transmitted to the rider’s hands, and an exceptionally comfortable seat. The harmonious mating of the chassis with the engine and advanced control systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) also contributes to the realization of a new crossover riding experience that is both exciting and highly comfortable.

High-performance wheels and tires

Lightweight, six-spoke cast aluminum wheels contribute to positive handling and sporty performance. They are shod with the latest generation of Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front; 190/50ZR17 at the rear). Engineered to perform optimally and provide sure grip, the tires have been fine-tuned to match the weight and performance characteristics of the GX and deliver the right combination of agility and stability. Their proven tread pattern employs a silica compound that delivers solid grip, contributes to nimble handling, and features durable wear resistance. These tires are a perfect match for Suzuki’s new crossover proposition.

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.)

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) for the GSX-S1000GX applies the latest high-spec technologies in a manner that makes its collection of advanced electronic rider assist systems easy for you to fully enjoy. You choose an integrated riding mode or individual settings to best suit your level of experience, your riding style, and the conditions of the moment. In turn, S.I.R.S. frees you to concentrate on riding with greater confidence by making the GX more controllable, more predictable, and less tiring to ride, no matter how far your journey takes you.

SDMS-α: Power Mode

Three selectable output characteristic modes make it easy to match performance to your preferences or needs in adapting to changing weather, road, and riding conditions.

A (Active) mode is designed for the more aggressive riding style of a sporty run on good roads.
B (Basic) mode is set up to deliver a satisfying balance of settings good for a broad range of riding situations.
C (Comfort) mode aims to prioritize comfort and controllability, particularly when riding long distances or carrying a passenger and gear.

SDMS-α: Smart TLR (Traction, Lift and Roll Torque) Control

Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) with integrated Lift Limiter and Roll Torque Control enables you to better control the bike under diverse and varying conditions.

Traction Control – Choose from one of seven selectable level settings to match your preferences and the riding conditions of the moment, or opt to turn the system off.

Lift Limiter – Brings added peace of mind by helping prevent the front wheel from lifting off the ground when accelerating.
Roll Torque Control – A Suzuki first, this intelligent system provides an extra layer of preemptive slide protection that operates by leveraging roll movement and wheel speed data to predetermine what level of power output and acceleration is optimal for a given corner and reduces torque output before the GX exceeds that level.

SDMS-α: Active Damping Control

The new Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) offers four electronically controlled damping modes — Hard, Medium, Soft and the customizable “U” (User) setting — from which you can choose for use with each of the SDMS-α riding modes. Your selected model automatically adjusts on the fly to match the riding conditions of the moment.

Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS)

Suzuki’s original new Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS) program works in conjunction with SDMS-α to seamlessly switch between settings that emphasize responsiveness when riding on normal road surfaces, and those that better smooth out bumps when riding over cobblestones or other uneven surfaces. When SRAS detects a change to cobblestones, it automatically triggers stronger Suzuki Floating Ride Control (SFRC) to help smooth out the ride and adjusts the Electronic Throttle Valve settings to deliver softer, more controllable throttle response. When the GX returns to a smooth surface, SRAS is disabled and SFRC returns to a setting that does not interfere with on-road dynamic performance.

Selectable Automatic Rear Suspension Modes

Electronic control over the rear suspension’s spring preload settings lets you quickly and easily select among four available modes designed to suit your preferences or the immediate needs of the situation. AUTO mode is a user-friendly mode that allows anyone to easily enjoy the recommended automatic settings. This mode features auto-levelling, which detects changes in chassis posture when a passenger mounts or dismounts, or when gear is added or removed, and based on the damper stroke position, responds by automatically compensating to maintain the appropriate posture.

Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System

Suzuki’s electronic throttle control system gives you better control over the GX’s powerful engine at the most commonly used engine speeds, and helps effectively harness that power. It not only demonstrates high controllability when the throttle is opened to accelerate out of a corner, but also offers the benefit of natural response and linear control similar to that of conventional throttle operation.

Bi-directional Quick Shift System

This distinctive feature lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever. This reduces fatigue while delivering assured shifts that will make you feel more confident in controlling the power of the GX. When activated, the system delivers clean, smooth upshifts with almost uninterrupted acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and smooth, thanks in part to the harmonious interplay of automatic hands-free blipping and engine braking.

Smart Cruise Control

Smart Cruise Control helps reduce fatigue when touring long distances, particularly when travelling at constant speed on highways, by letting you maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. And it does this while allowing you to perform clutch-free gear shifts using the Bi-directional Quick Shift System without cancelling cruise control. This makes the GX more comfortable, more convenient, and less tiring to operate on long rides. When you do need to temporarily disengage the system, you can use the handy resume function to re-engage it and accelerate to the most recent speed setting. You can easily adjust the speed setting using the (+/-) select switch on the left handlebar, and the chosen setting appears on the color TFT LCD instrument screen.

Motion Track Brake System

This system enhances control by supporting ABS activation not only when travelling in a straight line, but also when leaning into corners. By controlling brake pressure while braking through corners, it helps you better trace your intended line. Even if you panic and brake heavily in a corner, the system assists in maintaining stability while you slow down. The Motion Track Brake System supports the rider during braking in various riding situations, both when riding straight and when cornering.

Slope Dependent Control System

This system helps support more stable braking by preventing rear wheel lift when braking while riding downhill. The ABS unit uses input from the IMU to monitor the bike’s posture and, when you apply the brakes, its hydraulic unit controls brake pressure to deliver the optimum setting to match the current slope angle.

Elegance meets aggressive sport styling

From the sharp lines and multi-layered accents of its aggressive supersport styling to its tall, upright riding position and long-legged proportions, the “GX” carries itself regally as a fresh new expression of crossover potential. Keen attention to every detail reflects a level of elegance, sophistication and functional beauty that is sure to satisfy your desire to travel far and wide in comfort.

LED Headlights and Position Lights

The vertically stacked pair of compact hexagonal LED headlights creates a sharp look with unique character that makes the front end look light and ready for action. They are flanked by surface emitting LED position lights that feature an upswept angle and narrow slit design that adds to this distinctive front face.

LED Rear Combination Light

The LED rear combination light design, with a clear lens covering the LEDs, conveys a premium state-of-the-art feel that complements the stylish lines of the compact tail section.

Comfortable upright riding position

Research to find the optimum crossover riding position led to angling the handlebar grips relatively close to your body and positioning them a little higher. This realizes a comfortable upright posture. The new handlebars also feature wider grip placement, which makes them comfortable to hold and gives you greater control over steering. Long suspension travel and the new seat design also contribute to a comfortable riding experience.

Rear carrier with integrated grab bars

As standard equipment, the GX is fitted with a handy and practical rear carrier made of lightweight aluminum. Solid grab bars on each side provide your passenger with a firm grip and are designed to not interfere when removing the optional side cases. As a key visual accent at the rear, the carrier was also designed to convey the impact and presence of this luxurious sport crossover.

Aerodynamics and wind protection

The GX’s front cowl, height-adjustable windscreen and standard-equipment knuckle covers were all carefully developed and their designs realized through a process that involved both wind tunnel testing and feedback from test riders. The goal was to provide the level of aerodynamic performance and comfort desired on long rides, while at the same time paying keen attention to achieving attractive styling. Maximized wind protection makes your ride more comfortable by reducing sources of stress such as exposure to the cold and elements. This reduces fatigue when touring for long distances at speed and frees you to concentrate on enjoying the ride, regardless of weather or road conditions.

Minimizing vibration to maximize comfort

The GSX-S1000GX is designed to isolate you and your passenger from vibration that might otherwise by transmitted from the engine or chassis. Details include the use of floating handlebars, floating mirror mounts and rubber footrests that reduce vibration wherever you or your passenger come into contact with the bike.

These efforts to maximize comfort for a more relaxing and less tiring ride also extend to an optimized new design for both the rider and pillion seats. The seat cushion is thick yet stiff enough to support you well. Its relatively flat top surface means there is more area supporting your weight for greater comfort. It is tapered at the front to provide you with freedom of movement when enjoying a more aggressive sporty run.

6.5-inch Full-color Multi-information display

The GSX-S1000GX instrument cluster employs a 6.5-inch full-color TFT LCD screen with custom graphics and readouts designed to provide you with instant access to a rich variety of information. Developed specifically for use on motorcycles, this large multi-information display features a scratch-resistant surface, an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light, and manual or automatic switching between the day (white) and night (black) display modes.
