2024 Suzuki GSXS1000GXPM4

The Supreme Sport Crossover

Imagine having the superbike-level performance, confidence-inspiring controllability, optimized comfort, functionality, connectivity and attention to detail one expects of a premium sport-touring experience. Combine that with the versatile capabilities of sport adventure tourers, which are based in features such as a comfortable upright riding position, long front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance and new technologies that include Suzuki’s first electronic suspension. What you get is the GSX-S1000GX — the supreme sport crossover that introduces an exciting new expression of luxurious riding comfort and pleasure.

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.

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.

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.

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.
