FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION

Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) inverted front forks allows for the elimination of the cartridge on one side and makes it possible to increase the size of the piston. The structure not only reduces weight, but also features stable damping characteristics. The link-type mono-shock at the rear, with preload adjuster, is set up to contribute to straight-line stability and a smooth, controllable ride.

STYLING & DESIGN

INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE

The styling for the new GSX-8R is based on the three core phrases: new era, visual structure, and icon. New era reflects a further evolution of the futuristic design language introduced on the GSX-8S. The goal was to create a thoroughly modern interpretation of sportbike styling compelling enough to set a trend for an exciting new generation of motorcycles ready to carry the Suzuki brand into the future. Visual structure reflects the ideology of exposing the bike’s functional parts and painting them to put a spotlight on the visceral appeal of the structural elements, and highlight the mechanical appeal of functional beauty. Highlights include details such as the separate handlebars, the painted seat rails, aluminium wheels, the short muffler design and the slim rear mudguard. Icon symbolises the respect Suzuki’s designers paid to the iconic GSX-R series design and over the 35-year-plus heritage of the GSX-R range, even while working to create a thoroughly modern interpretation. One example of the tribute to GSX-R styling is the front fairing design. Though related to the GSX-R series in terms of DNA, the GSX-8R presents a fresh new face that symbolises the future of Suzuki sportbike design. All combined, the styling creates an appealing, new, mass-forward, aggressive look that is slim, compact, well-balanced, and ready for action.
