 GSX-S8 is Fully Focused on the Rider
In developing GSX-8S, Suzuki’s engineers looked at creating a motorcycle that is fully focused on the rider. The GSX-8S responds to the demands of riders of varying experience levels looking for the ideal package with approachable riding/body size plus features and specifications that make riding pure joy.
This result is a big step forward with a compact, yet powerful engine, chassis that contributes to straight-line stability, nimble handling, and a winning combination of features to thrill. |
 The GSX-8S Engine
The GSX-8S has a 776cm3 parallel-twin DOHC engine that delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance to the high end.
GSX-8S is ideal for all riders. It offers both excitement and controllability for a manageable ride, so riders can focus on the fun.
This engine introduces Suzuki Cross Balancer, which suppresses vibration for smoother operation and contributes to a lightweight powerplant that is more compact from front to rear.
Finally, the six-speed transmission realizes smooth shifting and improved controllability, and Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting. |
 Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)
Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) is a system that better supports the rider in matching performance to the riding conditions, surface, or preferred riding style, resulting in a more pleasurable ride. - Bi-directional Quick Shift system (with ON/OFF) provides quicker and smoother operation without the need to operate the clutch lever
- Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) offers 3 modes and allows the rider to match the performance of the bike to the riding conditions
- Ride-by-wire electronic throttle to respond faithfully to the rider’s intentions
- ABS system contributes to more stable braking by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking
- Suzuki Easy Start System starts the engine with one quick press of the starter button
- Low RPM Assist helps maintain engine idle speed for smoother and easier starts
