2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000A Metallic Mat Sword Silver

OWN THE STREETS

Free to roam in its natural habitat, the GSX-S1000 gives street performance a sharper edge. Smooth, controlled handling. Dynamic acceleration.

POWERFUL ENGINE

The strong, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999cc, inline-four engine is designed to provide smooth throttle response and controlled acceleration. Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque. Long-stroke GSX-R engine design has broad low- to mid-range power and torque that is ideal for street riding.

PISTONS

Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast with optimal rigidity and weight

IGNITION

Long-tip, 10-hole fuel injectors on each 44mm throttle body improve fuel atomization, while the automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle. The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs that increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.

TRACTION CONTROL

Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System* lets the rider control the throttle with more confidence in various riding conditions. As a result, the rider can enjoy sport riding with less anxiety. There are four traction control modes (1, 2, 3, and OFF) that the rider can easily adjust at rest or on the fly via a handlebar-mounted control. The difference between the modes is their sensitivity to road conditions.

• Mode 1 is the lowest sensitivity level-most suitable for skilled riders or in conditions that have good road surface grip (sport riding on good, smooth roads).
• Mode 2 is a moderate sensitivity level-suitable for most riders or in conditions that have varied road surface grip (city riding, regular road conditions).
• Mode 3 is the highest sensitivity level-suitable for road conditions where the grip may be limited (wet or cold surfaces).
• OFF disengages all traction control features.

TRANSMISSION

The SCAS clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry. This large-diameter, wet multi-plate clutch uses a precise cable-activated release, providing the rider with superb friction-point feel.

STRONG STOPPING POWER

Dual floating front brake rotors and Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, plus an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)**, deliver controlled stopping power. Recent refinements, such as new front brake hoses, yield improved stopping performance with better feel at the lever

RIDING POSITION

Matte black aluminum Renthal Fatbar handlebar is standard equipment offering excellent riding ergonomics with great vibration damping. The reasonable sport riding position is created by a carefully crafted relationship between the Renthal Fatbar, footrests, and seat. The low seat height of 815mm (32 inches) contributes to the sporty, yet upright riding position and aids rider confidence at stops.

SUSPENSION

Twin-spar aluminum frame and fully adjustable KYB-supplied suspension delivers controlled handling. Link-type rear suspension, with arched aluminum swing arm and a single shock absorber that features spring preload, is seven-way adjustable with rebound damping force adjustment.
