Street GSX-S1000

RAISED FOR THE STREET

Born of race-winning, track-proven DNA and raised for the street, the honed physique of the new GSX-S1000 morphs it into an even tighter and more striking package that is ready to turn heads and own the streets. It’s all about commanding performance, greater controllability, rider usability, and looks that can’t be beaten.

Street Tuned Performance

The high-performance 999cc four-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled inline-four engine that powers the GSX-S1000 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.

Ready to Rule the Streets

Every aspect of performance has been refined. Overall power output is increased and is stronger through the low- to mid-range engine speeds most commonly used. A broader, smoother torque curve featuring greater cumulative torque production consistently delivers abundant

power throughout the engine’s operating range and particularly shines in the mid to high rpm range. Revised exhaust and intake cam profiles decrease the amount of lift and reduce valve lift overlap to achieve a better overall balance of performance and controllability across a broad range of engine speeds, while also contributing to improved emissions performance. Changes to the internal structure of the new air cleaner box help improve power output characteristics. A change to the bore size of the new electronic throttle bodies helps achieve a better balance between idling throttle response and power output characteristics.

Clean, Sharp and Exciting

A clean, sharp look and exciting sound, the 4-2-1 exhaust system is designed and tuned to maximise overall performance, help satisfy Euro 5 emission standards and enhance the quality of its exhaust note. The design includes a new layout behind the collector, a new chamber structure, and the addition of a second catalytic converter inside the chamber. The redesigned structure of the connecting pipes between cylinder pairs increase the performance of the secondary air injection system, which improves the ability to purify exhaust gases. In addition, the collector is now marginally longer and the Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system is positioned a little differently.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

Adopting both slip and assist functionality.

The slipper clutch partially disengages to reduce negative engine torque and mitigate the effect of engine braking when downshifting from high rpm. This helps prevent the rear tyre from locking up or hopping and provides smoother deceleration, enabling the rider to shift down with greater confidence and maintain better control when downshifting into corners.

The assist function increases the clutch’s clamping force under acceleration and thereby allows the use of softer springs while still efficiently transferring torque to the rear wheel. This results in light clutch lever operation, which reduces left hand fatigue when stuck in traffic jams, or in other situations that require frequent clutch lever operation.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)

The new GSX-S1000 adopts a collection of the advanced electronic systems that comprise the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS). These enable the rider to optimise performance characteristics to best suit riding conditions and varying road surfaces, as well as their level of confidence and experience. These benefit the rider by instilling greater confidence and allowing them to concentrate on enjoying the riding experience.

Bi-directional Quick Shift System

This feature lets you shift up or down more quickly and easily without the need to operate the clutch or throttle. When activated, Quick Shift automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration when you shift up. 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. Bi-directional Quick Shift works in unison with SDMS to bring you even greater riding fun with a more linear feel.

Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)²

STCS² is programmed to continuously monitor front and rear wheel speed, engine RPM, throttle position and gear position, and designed to limit power to prevent slipping when it determines an imminent loss of traction. This enhances stability to give you more confident control with less stress and fatigue. Now featuring a wider selection of five mode settings, this updated version of STCS² better fits a more diverse variety of riding conditions, styles, and level of experience. The system can be also turned off when preferred. The higher number the mode, the faster control kicks in and the more proactive the system is in limiting wheel spin.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)

Choose between three different power output modes. All three ultimately deliver maximum engine output, but offer control over the level of throttle response and torque characteristics when accelerating. This empowers you to maximise the GSX-S1000’s capabilities as a powerful street bike but enhances the overall riding experience by building in the flexibility to prioritise sports or stability characteristics to better match your intended riding style or adapt to changing weather, road and other conditions.
