The GSX-8S is a brand-new model engineered from the ground up to shine as a fresh realisation of naked street fighter performance, featuring trendsetting naked sportbike looks combined with winning performance, confidence-inspiring controllability, and optimised comfort.
Suzuki has designed a brand-new parallel twin 776cm3 DOHC, a 4-valve-per-cylinder engine for the GSX-8S. It features a long-stroke configuration that delivers a delicate balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance through to the high end.
The assist function leverages precision-engineered ramps to force the clutch boss and pressure plate together and efficiently transfer torque to the rear wheel under acceleration, all while using softer clutch springs.
The two-stage catalytic converter inside the collector helps limit emissions to a level that satisfies Euro 5 standards while simultaneously maximizing power output and overall performance. The exhaust system features a short new muffler design that barely rises up.
All modern parallel twin engines with a 270-degree crank layout employ a primary balancer to suppress vibration. Suzuki has created a new biaxial primary balancer, which is the first on a production motorcycle, to position its two balancers at 90° to the crank Shaft.
Designed around the new engine platform and made from rugged steel pipe, the frame was engineered to provide excellent straight-line stability. The layout contributes to nimble handling and assures excellent performance in the city and at highway speeds.
They are shod with a new generation of Dunlop RoadSport 2 radial tyres (120/70ZR17 at the front; 180/55ZR17 at the rear) designed to perform optimally and provide sure grip on the GSX-8S.
KYB inverted front forks with a 130mm stroke deliver a plush, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics that make them suitable for both sports riding and long-distance runs. The mechanical preload adjuster is particularly useful when heading out to ride two-up.
