THE SUPREME SPORT CROSSOVER
Imagine having the superbike-level performance, confidence-inspiring controllability, optimised 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.
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.
6.5-INCH FULL-COLOR MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY
The GSX-S1000GX instrument cluster employs a 6.5-inch full-colour 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 and night display modes.
MINIMIZING VIBRATION TO MAXIMISE 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 maximise comfort for a more relaxing and less tiring ride also extend to an optimised 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. And it is tapered at the front to provide you with freedom of movement when enjoying a more aggressive sporty run.
KEEPING YOU CONNECTED
Connect your smartphone (iOS or Android™) via USB, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth®, and charge it using the dedicated USB outlet on the left side of the instrument panel. Switches on the left handlebar realise easy, intuitive control over apps and functions.
THE ELEGANCE OF CONTROLLABLE AND RELIABLE POWER
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.
