On November 7, 2023, Suzuki Motor Corporation introduced a new addition to the GSX-S1000 family: the 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX, a crossover model designed to blend sportiness with adventure touring capabilities. The GSX-S1000GX takes its engine from the GSX-S1000, aiming to offer riders the best of both worlds – a sporty character and enhanced adventure touring features. The true test of its capabilities will be when riders have the opportunity to experience it for themselves.
A notable feature of the 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX is the introduction of Suzuki’s Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) system. This system dynamically adjusts suspension damping based on inputs related to vehicle speed, road surface conditions, and braking. This innovation is a significant step forward for Suzuki in enhancing the riding experience.
Adding to the technological advancements, the GSX-S1000GX features the Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS) program. This program considers inputs from various sensors to adjust the SAES based on uneven road surfaces. Whether navigating rough terrains or enjoying smooth roads, the system adapts to provide optimal stability and performance.
The motorcycle’s specifications include a wheelbase of 1,470mm, length of 2,150mm, width of 925mm, and height of 1,350mm. It offers a comfortable seat height of 845mm and has a manageable curb weight of 232 kilograms.
Equipped with standard 17-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tires, the GSX-S1000GX is ready for the road. While there is no indication of an off-road-focused version with larger wheels, Suzuki’s existing V-Strom 1050 lineup may cater to those preferences.
Available in three colors – Metallic Triton Blue, Glass Sparkle Black, and Pearl Mat Shadow Green – the 2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX provides riders with aesthetic choices to suit their preferences.
While pricing details have not been disclosed and will vary by region, the motorcycle is set to hit the market in December 2023. Suzuki identifies Europe and North America as its primary markets for the GSX-S1000GX, with pricing information specific to these regions expected to be announced soon. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting addition to Suzuki’s lineup.
