2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000 Metallic Triton Blue

The 2024 GSX-S1000 remains the performance standard for naked sportbikes by providing superb controllability, agility, and power for an exciting and rewarding riding experience, while complying with worldwide emissions standards. The long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine and nimble chassis combine with sharp, angular styling establish the GSX-S1000 as a naked streetfighter ready to turn heads and own the streets.

Styling immediately draws your attention to the GSX-S1000. Clean, straight lines make it clear that this light and muscular, naked sportbike is a serious contender.  It is hard not to stare at the stacked Mono-focus LED headlights housed in a minimalistic cowling that resides between a pair of MotoGP-inspired winglets protruding from the angular radiator shrouds.

The GSX-R-based engine is exposed as a clear message to others that this motorcycle makes more peak power with a broad torque curve that delivers street-dominating power. Riders can keep that power under control with the electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies and the latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) that smooths shifting and engine braking.

There is more GSX-R DNA in the chassis with its aluminum, twin-spar frame design and superbike-braced swingarm. The suspension features a fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. Stopping performance is supplied by dual, ABS-equipped**, radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo front brake calipers and 310mm floating rotors. A wide cast-aluminum handlebar provides a comfortable reach and the proper leverage to hustle the GSX-S1000 through the corners and maneuver in tight city streets and traffic.

The 2024 GSX-S1000 continues to have the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) in its corner. Make this bike your own using the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the updated, five-mode (and OFF) Advanced Traction Control* System. Give your clutch hand a rest with the Bi-directional Quick Shift system. Suzuki’s popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems get the fun started without any hassle. 

Two available body colors, including Suzuki’s popular Glass Sparkle Black or the new Metallic Matte Sword Silver with red accents combine with modern logos to help position the 2024 GSX-S1000 as the sport’s dominant naked sportbike not only in performance but in styling as well.

• The GSX-S1000 provides predictable and controllable throttle response with abundant top-end power to provide the rider an exciting, responsive, and rewarding riding experience.
• The camshaft profiles have reduced lift and valve overlap to not only to improve emissions, but balance the engine’s performance and drivability, enhancing rider control.
• The valve springs are carefully calibrated to the camshafts to aid performance and improve durability.
• The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster use special materials to reduce friction and improve durability.
• Suzuki’s legendary Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design is machined into the cylinder head that, with the flat-top pistons, achieves an optimal 12.2:1 compression ratio that helps deliver a broad spread of power throughout the entire rev range.
• Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast with optimal rigidity and weight.
• Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque.
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase reduce friction and improve heat transfer and durability.
• The matte, textured engine finish presents a strong image of quality while the casting design of the engine covers (clutch, stator, and drive sprocket) are updated over the prior generation parts with a new shape and finish.
• Electronic throttle bodies are used on the GSX-S1000, so engine response is smooth and controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner.
• These Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies provide precise control for the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), Traction Control* (TC), and Bi-directional Quick Shift system (QS).
• Long-tip, 10-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization, while the ECM’s automatic idle speed control improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle.
• The air cleaner has an internal structure that contributes to the GSX-S1000’s increased engine performance while maintaining the exciting intake sound that the GSX-S1000 is renowned for.
• The air cleaner’s external shape was changed to accommodate the larger capacity fuel tank.
• Retaining the under-chassis design, sharp looks, and exciting note of the prior generation’s system, the GSX-S1000’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system was fully redesigned and tuned.
• Behind the header pipes, the mid-chamber contains a second catalytic converter to help ensure emissions compliance, a low center-of-gravity, and good exhaust flow to help the engine deliver a strong low- to mid-range punch with an exciting rush to redline.
• The effective Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the sculpted muffler that has a pleasing appearance that is not common to under-chassis exhausts while creating an exciting, distinctive sound.
• With the catalytic converters located in the mid-chamber, GSX-S1000 riders can fit an EPA or CARB-compliant silencer from suppliers such as Yoshimura R & D, USA.
