2018 GSX-S1000

Description

Suzuki was one of the brands that was missed in the maxinaked segment but entered through the big door with the GSX-S1000 in 2015 and in 2017 made major improvements to adapt it to the Euro4, in addition to adding a slipper clutch. It remains the most economical motorcycle of its kind without giving up a wild character, a warrior image and exceptional dynamic behavior. Their secret is to maintain a very essential electronics and in general a quite logical approach compared to its ultra sophisticated rivals.

The GSX-S1000 is based on the GSX-R1000, which uses the four-cylinder engine that it used from 2005 to 2008 and that the engineers have smoothed out in terms of power to adapt it to exclusively street use, seeking better performance in the low area. and a half of the tachometer to the detriment of top speed, less important when it comes to a naked bike.

Pistons, cams, radiator and electronic management are just some of the elements on which the technicians have worked when giving their own character to an engine with a power of 147 hp, almost 5 hp more than in the previous model (it has also increasing the torque figure in 2017 to reach a figure of 108 Nm). It equips a detachable traction control that offers three different levels of sensitivity to regulate it depending on driving conditions and road conditions.

It has a more compact frame than the sports one from which it starts and a new fully adjustable 43mm Kayaba fork. It has ABS as standard to ensure braking where the Brembo radial anchor monoblock calipers inherited from the GSX-R100 are the star.
