Suzuki GSX-S Updates

Thursday, 29 August 2024 06:45 PM Suzuki has updated the color options for the 2024 GSX-S1000, which remains a carryover from the 2022 model. The new colors include Metallic Triton Blue and the new Metallic Matte Sword Silver with red accents. The bike retains its 999cc inline-four engine and advanced features like three ride modes and a standard up/down quickshifter. The MSRP is $11,699. I believe these new colors will appeal to a wider range of buyers.

Thursday, 29 August 2024 03:34 PM The 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT and GSX-S1000GT+ continue to offer a blend of sportbike performance and touring comfort. The GSX-S1000GT is priced at $13,499, while the GSX-S1000GT+ costs $14,199 and includes integrated hard saddlebags. Both models feature an upright riding position and advanced electronics like traction control and cruise control. I think these models are perfect for riders who want both speed and comfort.

Thursday, 29 August 2024 05:30 AM Suzuki introduced the GSX-S1000 in 2015, using a detuned GSX-R1000 engine from 2005-06. The bike has been a favorite among riders and journalists for its smooth, linear power delivery and comfortable riding position. The 2024 model maintains these qualities with updated electronics and suspension. I believe this bike is a great choice for both city riding and curvy roads.

Thursday, 29 August 2024 08:49 AM The 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000 features a robust set of rider aids, including three ride modes (Active, Basic, and Comfort), five traction control settings, and a standard up/down quickshifter. The bike also includes Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist and Easy Start features, making it user-friendly for various riding conditions. I think these features make the GSX-S1000 very versatile.

Thursday, 29 August 2024 01:37 PM Suzuki has emphasized the importance of electronics in the 2024 GSX-S1000 models, including the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) which offers various ride modes, traction control, and a bi-directional quickshifter. These features are designed to enhance both performance and safety. I believe these electronic aids make the bike more appealing to a wide range of riders.

Thursday, 29 August 2024 11:15 AM The GSX-S1000GT and GSX-S1000GT+ models are designed for sport-touring, combining the power of the 999cc inline-four engine with comfort features like an upright riding position and integrated hard saddlebags. These bikes are ideal for long-distance rides, offering both performance and practicality. I think these models are perfect for those who love touring.

Friday, 30 August 2024 12:39 AM Suzuki’s 2024 GSX-S1000 models retain the same engine specifications as previous years, with a 999cc inline-four engine producing 150hp at 11,000 rpm and 78 lb-ft at 9,250 rpm. This engine is known for its smooth power delivery and broad torque curve. I believe this engine is one of the strongest points of the GSX-S1000.

Tuesday, 07 November 2023 07:24 AM The 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+ is set to arrive in early Spring 2024, featuring advanced electronics including a Bosch six-axis IMU and Suzuki’s first electronic suspension. This model also includes a 6.5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity and a USB charging port. The bike is priced at $18,499 and will be available in Pearl Matte Shadow Green. I think this tech upgrade will make the GSX-S1000GX+ a strong contender in the sport-touring segment.

Tuesday, 07 November 2023 10:19 PM Suzuki’s GSX-S1000GX+ boasts a unique rider triangle design, with wider handlebars, a thicker and flatter rider seat, and slightly lower footpegs. This design change aims to improve comfort during long rides. The bike also includes a three-stage adjustable windscreen to reduce wind buffeting. I believe these changes will significantly enhance rider comfort.

Tuesday, 07 November 2023 08:22 PM The GSX-S1000GX+ is equipped with Showa SFF-CA inverted fork and BFRC-lite rear shock, both electronically controlled and integrated with a Bosch six-axis IMU. This setup includes Suzuki’s Floating Ride Control system, which adjusts suspension based on real-time weight distribution. I think this advanced suspension system will provide exceptional handling.
