2020 Suzuki GSX-S1000
As much as a GSX-R1000 owns the racetrack, the GSX-S1000 owns the street. Developed using the attributes of the championship-winning, long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine, this naked sportbike carries Suzuki's performance spirit to every ride. The GSX-R connection does not stop there, as the GSX-S1000 shares other chassis technology and components so this bike can carve up the corners while providing all-day riding comfort.
It's more than just an attitude, a spirit, or a lineage though; it's about performance-packed hard parts evolving from one generation to the next. The GSX-S1000's 999cc, inline-four-cylinder powerplant is based on the legendary K5 GSX-R1000 engine. That generation engine is the ideal choice to build a liter-class, naked sportbike around, as it makes strong peak power with a robust torque curve that delivers street-dominating power.
The GSX-S1000's special design clutch and throttle mechanism smooths shifting, engine braking, and power delivery allowing the rider to effortlessly conquer any type of road. There are electronic rider aids lifted from Suzuki's supersport bikes, such as the Suzuki Advanced Traction Control System*, plus the Suzuki Easy Start, and Low RPM Assist systems.
The chassis shows its GSX-R heritage with its aluminum, twin-spar frame design and superbike-braced swingarm. The suspension features a fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. Stopping performance is stellar via the dual, ABS-equipped**, radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo front brake calipers and 310mm floating rotors. The wide Renthal Fatbar handlebar provides a comfortable reach and the proper leverage to hustle the GSX-S1000 through the corners. Top that chassis performance off with aggressive styling coated with Metallic Triton Blue or Metallic Oort Gray/Metallic Matte Black paint, and you have a naked sportbike ready to attack the road as it turns heads on the street.
Key Features
• Fuel-injected, 999cc, GSX-R-based engine features a throttle control mechanism that smooths the power delivery for a stimulating sportbike experience.
• Using a design similar to the GSX-R1000R, the GSX-S1000's Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) drive line smooths shifting and engine braking.
• Suzuki Advanced Traction Control* lets the rider select sensitivity on the fly so engine power to the rear wheel matches road conditions.
• Twin-spar aluminum frame and fully adjustable KYB-supplied suspension delivers controlled handling.
• Dual floating front brake rotors and Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, plus an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)**, deliver controlled stopping power. Recent refinements, such as new front brake hoses, yield improved stopping performance with better feel at the lever.
Engine Features
• The strong, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999cc, inline-four engine is designed to provide smooth throttle response and controlled acceleration.
• Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque.
• Long-stroke GSX-R engine design has broad low- to mid-range power and torque that is ideal for street riding.
• The profiles of the dual overhead camshafts were designed to enhance street performance while preserving peak, racetrack-capable power.
COLOR OPTIONS:
• Metallic Triton Blue
• Metallic Oort Gray No. 3/ Metallic Matte Black No. 2
