GSX-10R

FUN. UNLIMITED.

The GSX-10R was created to let riders fully enjoy the performance of its powerful, long-stroke 999cc engine across a wide range of scenarios, from daily commuting and weekend touring to track riding. Built on an engine refined in the GSX-S1000 that inherits the DNA of numerous Superbike and endurance racing victories, it features a compact, lightweight chassis, a highly refined suspension system, advanced rider-assist technologies, and a sporty, forward-leaning riding position. The entire package is wrapped in aggressive styling that incorporates elements such as winglets, derived directly from cutting-edge racing.

The engine is an updated version of the relatively long-stroke, torquey K5 version of the GSX-R1000 engine used in the most recent (circa 2020) Katana and GSX-S1000 models, and first used in the GSX-R1000 in a previous decade.

Engine Features

A 999cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline-four engine, further refined based on the powerful performance of the K5 engine. The oil pathways have been revised to further enhance reliability.

Chassis Features

– Developed around the theme of a “sports model that can be fully enjoyed from the circuit to the street,” achieving a sense of unity that allows the rider to focus on the ride.

– A ride quality meticulously crafted with input from test riders involved in the GSX-R series, prioritizing the rider’s connection to the machine and the pure joy of sports riding.

– Designed with a focus on controllability and fit, based on the triangular geometry of a forward-leaning riding posture, delivering a riding position equivalent to that of the GSX-R1000R.

– Footpegs featuring increased bracket rigidity for improved rider hold.

– Newly designed seat rails to achieve a riding position suited to sport riding.

– Achieves a deep lean angle of 53 degrees, compared to the 48 degrees of the GSX-S1000.

– Brake system featuring a radial master cylinder that combines precise control with powerful stopping force.

– Changed the rear-tire size from the GSX-S1000’s 190/50ZR17 to 190/55ZR17.

– Fuel tank with an ample 18L capacity, designed to balance freedom of movement in a forward-leaning position with secure rider hold.

– Newly designed seat featuring a flatter profile from front to rear to facilitate fore-aft movement, with padding tuned for a softer feel compared to the GSX-R1000. A seat that balances ease of movement for sports riding with comfort for touring.

– A newly developed turn signal system(Suzuki Ground Beacon System) that limits the amount of light hitting the road surface around the vehicle, thereby more clearly communicating the driver’s intended movement.

– Features a full-color, multi-function instrument cluster incorporating a color TFT display.

– Equipped with smartphone connectivity and a USB type-C port; connects via the Suzuki Ride Connect+ app

– Features a long-life lithium-ion battery from Eliiy Power that is lightweight and compact, offering excellent reliability, durability, and starting performance.

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

– Equipped with 15 electronic control systems to support the rider across a wide range of scenarios, from the racetrack to the street.

– Features Suzuki’s first-ever slide control system; it detects lateral sliding during cornering and enables natural turning with minimal intervention.

– Introduces Suzuki’s first brake hold control system; unlike conventional hill hold control systems that operate only on inclines, this new system functions on flat ground and downhill slopes as well.
