Features

Award Winning Motor

Firstly, Suzuki’s engineers sought to design a slim, compact powerplant that would expand the possibilities for overall design flexibility and help realize the most effective chassis geometry for performance gains, including the optimum riding position.

Secondly, Suzuki sought to deliver dynamic performance that would excel whether enjoying a solo run or carrying a passenger. The engine must provide plenty of torque and power, but must also be easy for even less experienced riders to control, with smooth throttle response. Overall, it must fill the rider’s personal adventuring experience with fun and pleasure, even when carrying a passenger and luggage.

With these objectives in mind, Suzuki designed a 776 cm³ parallel-twin DOHC engine with four valves per cylinder. It features a relatively long-stroke configuration compared to other Suzuki street models, delivering a well-balanced blend of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and a pleasant, free-revving feel through to the high end.

The engine also features a 270 degree crankshaft design, which delivers a smooth ride with plenty of torque, positive traction, and a pleasing rumble. It also introduces the Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative new primary balancer design that contributes to smooth operation and helps achieve a compact and lightweight package that enhances the GSX-8T/TT’s nimble handling. The GSX-8T/TT also adopts an exclusive short muffler design that subtly rises from the engine’s right side.

270-Degree Crankshaft

The 270-degree crankshaft configuration, shared with Suzuki’s V-twin models, delivers a smooth and comfortable feel across the entire rev range.

Suzuki Cross Balancer

The Suzuki Cross Balancer is the first primary balancer of its kind used in a production motorcycle.
Highly Efficient Cooling

The cooling system inlet control helps shorten engine warm-up time and maintain stable engine temperature during operation.
Stainless Steel Muffler Cover

Like other exterior components on the GSX-8T/TT, the stainless steel muffler cover was selected with a focus on quality. It enhances the overall styling of the motorcycle by highlighting the metal elements and giving it a robust, mechanical look, thus expressing the authentic motorcycle feel.

2-into-1 exhaust system

The 2-into-1 exhaust system features a dual-stage catalytic converter housed inside the collector, enabling compliance with Euro 5+ emissions standards.
Transmission

The 6-speed transmission delivers smooth shifting.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps reduce fatigue during long rides and supports smoother shifting.

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

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) is a highly advanced suite of electronic rider assist systems, featuring the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS), Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System, Bi-directional Quick Shift System, Suzuki Easy Start System, and Low RPM Assist. These systems are designed to optimize performance based on the rider’s skill level, experience, and road or riding conditions. Riders can freely adjust each system’s settings to suit their preferences and riding conditions. The result is a smoother, more predictable, and less fatiguing ride — allowing the rider to enjoy performance with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)

The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) maximizes the potential of the electronic throttle control system. It offers three selectable power delivery modes, each with distinct throttle response characteristics. These differences are especially noticeable when accelerating from a slightly open throttle to mid-range speeds. SDMS helps riders fine-tune performance to match the riding situation, road conditions, or their preferred riding style.

Mode A (Active): Delivers the sharpest throttle response and full power output for strong, immediate acceleration.
Mode B (Basic): Provides a more linear throttle curve and softer response, making it suitable for a wide range of road conditions.
Mode C (Comfort): Offers the softest response and gentler torque characteristics to improve controllability and ease of use.

Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)

The system monitors front and rear wheel speeds, engine RPM, throttle position, and gear position. When a loss of traction is detected, it adjusts ignition timing and throttle opening to help prevent wheel slip. There are three selectable modes, with higher numbers providing stronger intervention.

Note: Suzuki Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.

Mode 1: Designed for sport riding with minimal system input.
Mode 2: Ideal for
everyday use.
Mode 3: Best suited for low-traction conditions.

Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System

Provides precise throttle response that matches the rider’s intent.
Antilock Braking System (ABS)

The Antilock Braking System (ABS) contributes to more stable braking by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking.
Bi-Directional Quick Shifter

Enables faster, smoother, and more reliable gear changes without using the clutch lever while riding.
Suzuki Easy Start System

Starts the engine with just a single press of the starter button.
Low RPM Assist

Maintains engine idle speed to enable smoother and easier starts.

Combines performance with comfort.

The goal was to create a compact and lightweight chassis that maximizes agility, comfort, everyday usability, and the joy of riding with confidence. The rugged steel pipe frame delivers excellent straight-line stability and contributes to agile handling.

The seat rails are engineered to provide solid support for the rider. This strong, high-rigidity frame is paired with a lightweight aluminium swingarm optimized for ideal performance in street riding. Every detail — from the riding position to the choice of tires and suspension settings — has been carefully tailored to support overall balance and control. The result is confident handling and comfort across a range of conditions, from city streets to highways, whether riding solo or with a passenger.

Chassis Geometry and Riding Position

A longer wheelbase for a sport bike delivers excellent straight-line stability. At the same time, the overall chassis geometry ensures agile handling and confident cornering, even with a passenger.

This layout also supports an optimized weight distribution between the front and rear. The rear seat is designed to offer a more relaxed riding posture, reducing knee flex and enhancing passenger comfort.

The compact layout of the parallel-twin engine allows the rider to sit farther forward, making it easier to shift body weight and stay in control of the GSX-8T.

High-performance Wheels and Tyres

The GSX-8T’s cast aluminium wheels are lightweight, look great, and contribute to agile handling. The bike uses Roadsport 2 radial tires (Front: 120/70ZR17, Rear: 180/55ZR17). Their internal construction features a carcass and belt layer tuned to deliver the ideal rigidity. This tyre’s silica compound offers both durability and abrasion resistance while keeping reliable grip on wet surfaces. The tires work in harmony with the suspension setup to provide excellent grip, stability, and nimble handling — while also contributing to a comfortable ride.
Optimised Front and Rear Suspension

KYB inverted front forks with 130 mm of travel provide a comfortable and controllable ride, with stable damping characteristics ideal for both sporty riding and long-distance touring. At the rear, a dedicated link-type KYB mono-shock is tuned to enhance both straight-line stability and agility, even when riding with a passenger. A mechanical preload adjuster adds convenience, especially when preparing for tandem rides.
Sure stopping power

The front brake system combines radial-mount calipers with dual 310 mm discs to deliver strong stopping power and confident, responsive braking performance.

At the rear, a 240 mm disc is paired with a single-piston pin-slide caliper.
