Imagine having the superbike-level performance, confidence-inspiring controllability, optimised comfort, functionality, connectivity and attention to detail one expects of a premium sport-touring experience. Combine that with the versatile capabilities of sport adventure tourers, which are based in features such as a comfortable upright riding position, long front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance and new technologies that include Suzuki’s first electronic suspension. What you get is the GSX-S1000GX — the supreme sport crossover that introduces an exciting new expression of luxurious riding comfort and pleasure.
“It runs a version of the brilliant in-line four-cylinder engine and box that harks back to the K5 GSX-Rs, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest litre bike engines of all time.” mcnews.com.au
The GX is powered by a 999cm3 liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine engineered to perform optimally under diverse riding conditions and in all kinds of traffic. Derived from the engine that helped carry the GSX-R1000 supersport machine to countless racing championship titles, this street-tuned powerplant benefits from a fusion of race-proven engineering and the latest in technological advances to achieve the durability and balanced performance needed to support both long-distance touring and aggressive sport riding, while also satisfying Euro 5 emissions standards.
Features include superbike-level performance and a broad, smooth torque curve throughout the engine’s operating range.
Vibration is also minimised to make riding more comfortable and less tiring. This combines with a variety of electronic control technologies that enable you to match torque output to the type of ride or your preferred riding style at any given time, and includes the excitement of powerful acceleration to support aggressive sport riding when desired.
The GX follows Suzuki’s flagship Hayabusa model in adopting its own application of SDMS-α, which features integrated management of multiple advanced electronic control systems that make the GX more controllable. Its three integrated riding modes control power output characteristics, as well as the level of Traction Control (with integrated Lift and Roll Torque Control) and Active Damping Control (with Suzuki Floating Ride Control). Using SDMS-α can be as easy as choosing the factory default settings for any of the three modes shown below. Each is carefully tuned, tested and recommended by Suzuki’s engineers. You can also opt to customise some settings to suit the riding conditions of the moment and match your specific needs or preferences more closely.
Designed for the more aggressive riding style of a sporty run on good roads.
Set up to deliver a satisfying balance of settings good for a broad range of riding situations.
Aims to prioritise comfort and controllability, particularly when riding long distances or carrying a passenger and gear.
Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) enables you to better control the bike, whether riding alone or with a passenger, and regardless of weather or road conditions. This reduces stress and fatigue, and helps you ride with greater confidence. STCS for the GX is designed to support SDMS-α’s integrated riding modes. In addition to the default settings, you can choose from one of seven selectable level settings to match your preferences and the riding conditions of the moment, or opt to turn the system off. The higher number the mode, the faster the control takes effect and the more proactive the system is in limiting wheel spin.
Note: The 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 entering turns, or while braking. Nor can it prevent the front wheel from losing traction.
Lift Limiter brings added peace of mind by helping prevent the front wheel from lifting off the ground when accelerating. It operates silently in the background, with the STCS level setting determining the level of intervention. This ranges from a low setting that prioritises performance to a high setting that takes effect before the front wheel begins to lift. Thorough testing went into tuning this intelligent control scheme to provide the benefit of anti-lift, but only while still delivering the powerful acceleration expected of a GSX-S series motorcycle.
A Suzuki first, this intelligent system provides an extra layer of preemptive slide protection that operates silently in the background, with its settings being determined by the STCS level setting. It operates by leveraging roll movement (lean angle) and wheel speed data to predetermine what level of power output and acceleration is optimal for a given corner, and reduces torque output before the GX exceeds that level.
The GX leverages the new Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) to offer four electronically controlled damping modes– “H” (Hard), “M” (Medium), “S” (Soft) and the customisable “U” (User) setting. The damping automatically adjusts on the fly to match the riding conditions of the moment in accordance with your selected mode, and you can opt to change the default settings for each of the SDMS-α riding modes as suits your needs or preferences. In addition, when customizing User mode, you can independently adjust the front and rear settings by ±3 increments after selecting between a base setting of Hard, Medium or Soft.
Fixed: Front 0 / Rear 0
Customisable: Front ±3 / Rear ±3*
*The default setting is Front 0 / Rear 0

This system helps support more stable braking by preventing rear wheel lift when braking while riding downhill. The ABS unit uses input from the IMU to monitor the bike’s posture and, when you apply the brakes, its hydraulic unit controls brake pressure to deliver the optimum setting to match the current slope angle.
This system enhances control by supporting ABS activation not only when travelling in a straight line, but also when leaning into corners. By controlling brake pressure while braking through corners, it helps you better trace your intended line. Even if you panic and brake heavily in a corner, the system assists in maintaining stability while you slow down. The Motion Track Brake System supports the rider during braking in various riding situations, both when riding straight and when cornering. That is why the GX is the first bike in the GSX-S series to adopt the system.
Note: ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. Please always ride at a safe speed for road and weather conditions, including while cornering.
Smart Cruise Control helps reduce fatigue when touring long distances, particularly when travelling at constant speed on highways, by letting you maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. And it does this while allowing you to perform clutch-free gear shifts using the Bi-directional Quick Shift System without cancelling cruise control. This makes the GX more comfortable, more convenient and less tiring to operate on long rides.
When you do need to temporarily disengage the system, you can use the handy resume function to re-engage it and accelerate to the most recent speed setting. You can easily adjust the speed setting using the (+/-) select switch on the left handlebar, and the chosen setting appears on the colour TFT LCD instrument screen.
The GSX-S1000GX instrument cluster employs a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT LCD screen with custom graphics and readouts designed to provide you with instant access to a rich variety of information. Developed specifically for use on motorcycles, this large multi-information display features a scratch resistant surface, an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light, and manual or automatic switching between the day (white, top) and night (black, bottom) display modes.
Another standout feature is smartphone connectivity, which gives you access to a variety of convenient apps and functions that bring greater functionality and fun to your ride.
Simply install the free SUZUKI mySPIN app and connect your smartphone to transfer its display to the GX’s large TFT LCD screen where you can access its phone, contacts, calendar, music and map functions. You can also install a selection of supported third-party apps optimised for use by motorcycle riders and take advantage of additional services that bring yet convenience and fun when out for long runs. SUZUKI mySPIN is compatible with iOS and Android™.
Connect your smartphone (iOS or Android™) via USB, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth®, and charge it using the dedicated USB outlet on the left side of the instrument panel. Switches on the left handlebar realise easy, intuitive control over apps and functions.
You can place or receive phone calls using a Bluetooth® headset. Adding to the convenience, there is no need to pull over and stop to use the phone functions.
Accesses the contacts on your smartphone to show you who is calling on the TFT LCD screen. Contacts can also use your contact list to place calls.
Display your calendar on the TFT LCD screen and check scheduled events and reminders.
Display your current location on the TFT LCD screen and zoom in or out using the switches on the left handlebar. You can also search for destinations and display simple routing suggestions.
You can listen to music from your smartphone’s music library through a Bluetooth® headset. Select tracks and control audio (volume, play/pause, skip forward or skip backward) via switches on the GX’s left handlebar. There is no need to directly access the phone. You can also add a level of fun to touring by sharing audio playback with your passenger.
Core strength is provided by a solid frame and swing arm that can ably support the engine’s superbike-level performance. Extended wheel travel in both the front and rear helps smooth out rougher surfaces, while Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 tires provide sure grip. The GX introduces Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES), featuring versatile settings that automatically adjust on the fly to match the riding conditions of the moment.
Other details include an upright riding position and handlebars that contribute to controllability and stability. The harmonious mating of the chassis with the engine and advanced control systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) also contributes to the realization of an exciting new riding experience.
The twin-spar aluminium frame for the GSX-S1000GX is built to deliver nimble handling and great road holding ability that will go the distance, even when carrying a passenger and a full load of 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.
The seat rails serve two benefits. Firstly, they provide rigid and secure attachment points for the optional side cases.
Secondly, their relatively low height makes it possible to maximize the thickness of the pillion seat for greater passenger comfort. As a bonus, the exposed design adds to the striking look of functional beauty.
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.
Research to find the optimum crossover riding position led to angling the handlebar grips relatively close to your body and positioning them a little higher. This realises a comfortable upright posture. The new handlebars also feature wider grip placement, which makes them comfortable to hold and gives you greater control over steering. Long suspension travel and the new seat design also contribute to a comfortable riding experience.
The GX’s front cowl, height-adjustable windscreen and standard-equipment knuckle covers were all carefully developed and their designs realised through a process that involved both wind tunnel testing and feedback from test riders.
The goal was to provide the level of aerodynamic performance and comfort desired on long rides, while at the same time paying keen attention to achieving attractive styling. Maximised wind protection makes your ride more comfortable by reducing sources of stress such as exposure to the cold and elements. This reduces fatigue when touring for long distances at speed and frees you to concentrate on enjoying the ride, regardless of weather or road conditions.
Attention to detail extends to the front cowl, where a new layered design that suppresses the generation of negative air pressure to help prevent head buffeting. In addition, holes placed strategically on the face are effective in reducing front lift. The sides were also widened to help better guide the flow of air away from the area of the abdomen so it doesn’t cause the discomfort of, say, your jacket blowing in the wind.
The GSX-S1000GX is designed to isolate you and your passenger from vibration that might otherwise by transmitted from the engine or chassis. Details include the use of floating handlebars, floating mirror mounts and rubber footrests that reduce vibration wherever you or your passenger come into contact with the bike. These efforts to maximise comfort for a more relaxing and less tiring ride also extend to an optimised new design for both the rider and pillion seats. The seat cushion is thick yet stiff enough to support you well. Its relatively flat top surface means there is more area supporting your weight for greater comfort. And it is tapered at the front to provide you with freedom of movement when enjoying a more aggressive sporty run.
As standard equipment, the GX is fitted with a handy and practical rear carrier made of lightweight aluminium. Solid grab bars on each side provide your passenger with a firm grip, and are designed to not interfere when removing the optional side cases. As a key visual accent at the rear, the carrier was also designed to convey the impact and presence of this luxurious sport crossover.
