2026 Suzuki GSX-8R

2026 Suzuki GSX-8R

The Suzuki GSX-8R an exciting fusion of sportbike appeal, performance, and riding pleasure that will appeal to a wide range of riders with varying levels of experience. Riding upon on the engineering advances of the GSX-8S, the agile GSX-8R is designed to satisfy, whether riding around town or heading out for a sporty run through winding mountain roads on the weekend.

At the core is Suzuki’s new-generation parallel-twin 776cc DOHC engine with a responsive chassis built around it, creating a stunning sportbike package. Every aspect of the 8R’s design is geared toward delivering a satisfying experience to riders who desire more power than a 650cc class sportbike can deliver, who aspire to ride a bike with the sharp styling of an elegant sportbike, and who desire a satisfying ride that is reassuring, reliable, and ready for action.

Features may include:

Engine

• The GSX-8R’s new-generation 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a superb balance of smooth, controllable, torque-rich power from low RPM and freely revs up to its peak power output.

• The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides a power delivery and distinctive exhaust rumble like the 90-degree V-twin engine used in other Suzuki models.

• Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki, and used for the first time on a production motorcycle, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.

Transmission

• The six-speed transmission features gear ratios that deliver exciting acceleration, whether shifting normally or when using the standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift System, enabling the rider to shift without clutch operation.

• The transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip for smoother downshifts.

Chassis

• Dual front brakes with 310mm diameter discs and radially mounted NISSIN® four-piston calipers help provide strong and consistent stopping power.

• The Showa® SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) inverted fork has 41mm inner tubes with 5.1 inches (130 mm) of smooth travel helping deliver a comfortable and controlled ride.

• The link-type rear suspension with a Showa® mono-shock is tuned for superb straight-line performance and corning agility, even when carrying a passenger.

Electrical

• The GSX-8R instrument panel uses a full-color, five-inch TFT LCD screen. This high-quality instrument panel is set into the inner fairing above the separate handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris.

• S-DMS provides the rider with a choice of three different engine power output modes. Working in concert with the Traction Control System, S-DMS permits peak power in each mode while changing the nature of the power delivery.
