Suzuki Unveils the All-New GSX-10R

The new Suzuki GSX-10R introduced at EICMA this week is a sport bike containing the 1000cc K5 engine used in the GSX-S1000, with modifications and updates. Unlike the naked model, the GSX-10R has a full fairing, and drastically updated chassis and electronic features. At this point, we don’t know pricing or when the bike will be available in the U.S. market.

The following is a press release from Suzuki:

The all-new GSX-10R is a full-fairing sport bike newly added to the GSX series, developed under the concept of “FUN. UNLIMITED.”, pursuing riding enjoyment for all riders across a wide range of riding scenarios, from daily commuting and weekend touring to track riding.

Equipped with the K5 engine which inherits the DNA of the race-proven GSX-R series and optimized for the “FUN. UNLIMITED.” concept, it achieves both manageable usability in low-to-mid rpm ranges and exhilarating acceleration in high rpm ranges. In addition, superior riding performance has been realized through a compact and lightweight chassis, a suspension adjustable to suit various riding scenarios, a sporty forward-leaning riding position enabled by separate handlebars, front winglets inspired by the latest racing machines, and an aggressively styled cowling design optimized for aerodynamic performance.

Furthermore, it adopts the evolved electronic control Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.). The GSX-10R is Suzuki’s first motorcycle equipped with the Slide Control System, which detects and controls lateral rear wheel slide while cornering, and the Brake Hold Control System, which maintains vehicle standstill on uphill slopes as well as on flat roads and downhills. It is also equipped with a Cruise Control System that maintains a set speed during long-distance highway riding. The S.I.R.S. is comprised of a total of 15 electronic control features, the most ever for a Suzuki motorcycle*2, helping the riders to feel confident and comfortable than ever before.

In addition, usability is enhanced by a compact high-luminance LED headlight, the Suzuki Ground Beacon System (SGBS) adopted for the first time on a Suzuki motorcycle which enhances the vehicle’s visibility to pedestrians and other vehicles when the turn signals are activated, an 18L large-capacity fuel tank ideal for long-distance touring, and a highly legible color TFT LCD multi-information display.

The design pursues aggressive yet contemporary styling that fuses tradition and innovation while creating a bold, low-rising silhouette defined by distinct contours that accentuate certain areas while slimming down others. Furthermore, by collaborating closely with the engineering, production, and testing departments, the team ensured a design that compromises nothing in terms of aerodynamic performance or functionality. Three body color options are available to meet diverse customer preferences: Pearl Vigor Blue / Metallic Mystic Silver, Pearl Pulse Red / Solid Iron Gray, and Metallic Galaxy Gray / Glass Sparkle Black.
