2026 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+

The 2026 GSX-S1000GT+ blends sportbike performance with long-distance touring comfort, delivering Suzuki’s signature reliability alongside advanced cargo and electronic features. Powered by a GSX-R1000-derived engine, the GT+ delivers smooth, responsive power across the rev range—making overtaking effortless and enjoyable.

Enhanced by the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), the GSX-S1000GT+ offers refined performance and rider-focused convenience. The advanced rider aids of S.I.R.S. include Smart Cruise Control, Bi-directional quick shifting, and adjustable traction control and power modes to ensure every ride is smooth and thrilling.

Features may include:

• The GSX-S1000GT+ is propelled by a high-performance 999cc, four-stroke, DOHC, liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder powerplant based upon Suzuki’s championship-winning GSX-R engine architecture.

• 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.

• Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GT+’s race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

• The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.

• Suzuki’s proven, twin-spar aluminum frame helps to ensure nimble handling and great road-holding ability. The main spars are positioned straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, which promotes higher rigidity and lighter weight.

• Fully adjustable front and rear suspension with suspension spring rates and damping force tuned specifically for the GSX-S1000GT+.

• Providing key Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) information to the rider is a, easy-to-read Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Instrument Panel that brings Suzuki-exclusive mySPINTM connectivity features to the GT+.

• The five-mode Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) continuously monitors front- and rear-wheel speed, engine RPM, throttle position, and gear position to adjust engine output to prevent undesired rear wheel spin.

• From designer concept to wind-tunnel tuning, the GSX-S1000GT+’s sharp lines, radical front face, and aerodynamic good looks all speak to the sporty soul of this GT machine.
