2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX - 5 Minute Overview
If you’re interested in tourers this one might be for you, with Suzuki revealing a new GSX-S1000GX for 2024, which they are positioning between the old GT version and the V-Strom 1050. Let’s take a quick look at what’s on offer. Starting with pricing, which will be $26K ride-away here in Australia. UK pricing in comparison is £14,499 ride-away, and starts at $18,499 in the US.
Plus we see Suzuki’s first ever implementation of electronic suspension, or the Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension SAES and Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilisation or SRAS.
That’s Showa SFF-CA inverted forks, and a BFRC-lite link-type monoshock, with active damping control, between Soft, Medium and Hard, alongside a customisable user setting. Rear preload is also adjusted electronically, with four modes based on load. Essentially that boils down to Auto, rider, rider and luggage, and rider plus pillion. Preload on the forks in contrast is adjusted down near the brake caliper, on both sides.
The 999 cc four-cylinder remains, outputting 112 kW or about 150 ponies, at 11,000 rpm, and 109 Nm at 9250 rpm, although fuel consumption is a higher 6.2 litres per 100 km. There is a slipper clutch however.
On the electronics front we see the Suzuki Intelligent Ride system, with Power Modes, as well as Suzuki Traction Control, Lift Limiter and Roll Torque Control. Naturally there’s RbW, with bi-directional quickshift, smart cruise control, slope control, easy start and low rpm assist. All that’s viewed and controlled through a TFT display, as is the electronic suspension.
The chassis consists of a twin-spar aluminium frame, with trellis subframe, with the seat rails offering attachment points for optional side cases. The swingarm is also a beefy aluminium unit.
Wheels are six-spoke cast aluminium units, and I’m a little surprised to see 17 inch wheels both front and rear, as that’s not really in keeping with the cross-over theme, where you’d expect to see a 19 inch front for instance. Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2s are run standard fitment.
Brembo also provide the four-piston radial front calipers, matched to 310 mm floating rotors, while we see a Nissin unit at the rear, single-piston. Cornering ABS is provided by the Motion Track Brake System, with the Slope Dependent Control System helping reduce rear wheel lift in heavy braking situations.
Other little details include a three-way adjustable screen, standard hand guards, full LED lighting with stacked headlight, rear carrier with integrated grab bars and floating handlebars with rubber mounts.
