“A GT Tour de Force”

The goal of the new GT design concept is to visually express the performance potential, comfort and pleasure of this true grand touring motorcycle. At the same time, it aims to convey the refinement and sophistication of a product designed to offer advanced functions such as the intelligent rider aids, safety systems and smartphone connectivity, to be aerodynamically efficient, and to be easier to control and more comfortable, whether touring for long distances fully loaded with a pillion or popping out for an exciting solo blast. Its sharp lines, radical new front face, and aerodynamic aesthetics tell the story of the GT riding experience.

Comfort has a new look

The striking new front cowling combines the protruding nose, the pair of horizontally arranged LED headlights, new mirror design and side mounted indicators to create a look of advanced GT styling that proposes a new face for Suzuki street motorcycles. These elements combine with the new seat design, slim tail section and short, compact muffler design to create a sleek and luxurious image that emphasises the new GT’s prowess as a grand touring machine built for comfort, speed and thorough enjoyment.

6.5″ Full-Colour TFT Display

Developed specifically as a large multi-information display for use on motorcycles, the GT’s new-generation TFT LCD panel features an anti-reflective coating for improved visibility in bright light and a scratch resistance surface. Smartphone connectivity that allows access to a variety of apps and functions that bring greater convenience, functionality and fun to the ride. In addition to DAY and NIGHT display schemes and adjustable brightness, the screen’s custom display features buttery-smooth tachometer movement and exclusive graphics.

Keeping You Connected!

Switches on the left handlebar provide intuitive control over apps and functions. The rider can connect a smartphone running iOS or Android^TM using Wireless LAN and Bluetooth®, and can charge their smartphone using the dedicated USB outlet on the left side of the LCD screen. Simply install the free SUZUKI MySPIN app and connect your smartphone to transfer its display to the GT's large full-colour TFT. SUZUKI MySPIN is compatible with iOS or Android devices. TFT Display can allow use of a device's Contacts, Phone, Maps, Music, and Calendar.

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

Introduces a collection of advanced electronic systems that lets the rider easily optimise the performance characteristics to best suit their riding style and level of riding experience. S.I.R.S. brings greater confidence and enjoyment by allowing the GT to be more controllable and predictable whilst also being less fatiguing.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)

SDMS is designed to offer the rider a choice between three different modes that change output characteristics to match riding conditions or preferences.

Mode A (Active) provides the sharpest response as the rider opens the throttle. Settings for torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver the exciting acceleration that had earned the previous generation GSX-S1000 high acclaim. It is well suited for use when hitting the throttle hard, such as when participating in track day events or enjoying a sporty run on winding roads in good weather.

Mode B (Basic) reaches the same level of maximum output, but features softer response and a more linear power delivery curve as the rider opens the throttle. The settings are tuned to make the bike more controllable and instill confidence when accelerating, and to make it a good fit for a wide range of rider styles and road conditions in everyday riding.

Mode C (Comfort) provides the softest throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, delivering power in smoother linear fashion while still reaching the same level of maximum power output. The gentler throttle response and limited torque production as the throttle is opened makes more obedient and controllable when riding on wet or otherwise slippery surfaces, when road conditions are bad, or even when the rider wants to relax and enjoy a ride home after a long outing.

Other Features

Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)

The new GSX-S1000 features an updated version of STCS with a wider selection of 5 mode settings (+ OFF), as opposed to the 3 modes (+ OFF) of the previous generation. The finer incremental control over settings allows the new 5-mode traction control system to better fit a more diverse variety of riding conditions and styles.

Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System

The system’s finer control also allows it to be tuned to best match each of the SDMS modes. The overall result is linear power delivery that responds faithfully to your intentions, whether riding on the street or heading out to enjoy a sporty run, as well as improved controllability when opening the throttle while cornering.

Bi-directional Quick Shift System

Lets you shift up or down more quickly and easily without the need to operate the clutch or throttle. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio. The result of this hands-free automatic blipping function combines seamlessly with engine braking to create a highly satisfying experience when downshifting.

Cruise Control

Allows the rider to maintain a set speed without operating the throttle helping reduce fatigue when touring long distances, particularly when travelling at constant speed on highways. Cruise Control can be set at speeds between 30km/h to 180km/h when riding in 2nd gear or higher. The speed can be easily adjusted upward or downward using the (plus or minus) select switch on the left handlebar.

Power and Reliability to go the distance

The high-performance 999cm³ four-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled inline-four engine that powers the GSX-S1000GT inherits true winning superbike DNA. This street-tuned engine is based on core architecture that benefits from know-how acquired over decades of developing the GSX-R1000 to win countless production race victories, while also incorporating advanced technologies developed for MotoGP racing.

A Chassis Engineered for Distance

The twin-spar aluminium frame on the new GT is built to deliver nimble handling and great road holding ability that will go the distance, even when carrying a passenger and full loaded with gear. When viewed from the side, the main tubes run straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot. This design helps achieve high rigidity and lighter weight than competitor models.

The sturdy aluminium swingarm comes straight from the GSX-R1000. Ruggedly braced and with the appeal of its superbike looks, this swingarm features great road holding ability and the strength to withstand long rides, heavy loads, and the demands of sporty runs.

Greater Comfort and Control

R&D to find the optimum riding position for touring led to angling the handlebar grips 14mm closer to the rider than on the previous GSX-S1000F. This enables the rider to have a more upright posture, which enhances comfort.

The new tapered handlebars are also lengthened to achieve a 23mm wider grip placement. In addition to making the bars more comfortable to hold, this gives the rider greater control over steering while requiring less effort to steer the bike.

Superior Braking

The GT is equipped with top-of-the-line radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers. The calipers each have four opposed ø32mm pistons acting on a ø310mm floating-mount disc for strong stopping power.

An antilock braking system (ABS) helps the rider stay in directional control even during hard braking. The system is programmed to monitor wheel speed and match stopping power to the available traction. The ABS control unit has a compact, lightweight design that contributes to the bike’s nimbleness.

Wind-cutting aerodynamics

Aerodynamics and wind protection are of critical importance to meeting the high-speed touring demands of a grand tourer, both in terms of dynamic performance and comfort.

The GT’s new front cowl, windscreen and mirrors are all meticulously designed to contribute to achieving the requisite level of aerodynamic performance. Each component was analysed early in the development process to identify any issues. That was followed by repeated cycles of wind tunnel testing, analysis and refinement to ensure that all the pieces work together harmoniously to maximise wind protection and make the rider more comfortable by reducing sources of stress such as exposure to the cold and elements. This reduces fatigue when touring at high speeds and frees the rider to concentrate on enjoying the experience.

While aerodynamic performance was a given, design priorities for the GT’s new windscreen focused keenly on maximising wind protection to deliver relaxing comfort worthy of a grand touring riding experience. At the same time, the designers were also concerned with keeping the form as compact as possible and making the screen attractive. Development involved repeated rounds of wind tunnel testing and analysis, with the design begin refined at each stage until it achieved just the right overall balance to satisfy the development team’s goals.
