2026 GSX-R1000R

Engine Features:

• High-performance 999.8cm³ four-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four engine is the most powerful and hardest accelerating engine in the GSX-R family.
• Simple, compact and light, the centrifugally operated SR-VVT system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate, adding significantly to power at the high end.
• The Suzuki Racing Finger follower valve train system improves valve control and allows higher rpm.
• Alongside primary full-time injectors per throttle body, a secondary set of four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI) sprays fuel directly into the intake funnels at higher RPMs, enhancing combustion efficiency, throttle response, and top-end power.
• The number of holes for the primary fuel injectors was changed from ten to eight holes.
• Modified cylinder head and both intake and exhaust ports for higher efficiency.
• Revised head gasket shape to improve durability.
• The piston heads were reshaped to increase the compression ratio from 13.2:1 to 13.8:1 and accommodate the increased valve diameter.
• Forged aluminium pistons feature short skirts, cutaway sides, and DLC-coated wrist pins to reduce friction.
• A change to the rib shape on the underside of the piston heads reduces weight and contributes to durability.
• The piston circlips are made of a new material that improves durability.
• The introduction of a wider new cam chain helps reduce friction loss.
• New single-stage funnel shapes (#1 and #4) contribute to improved high-RPM output.
• Crankshaft redesigned with thicker journals to support higher loads; crankcase also reengineered accordingly.
• Camshaft lubrication now uses an intermittent lubrication scheme.
• The exhaust system includes a slimmer muffler design
• The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) works as an assist clutch to make the lever easier to pull while transmitting the power output, reducing fatigue on long touring.

Chassis Features:

• Compact, lightweight chassis delivers quick response and agility, boosting rider confidence in acceleration, cornering, and braking.
• Twin-spar aluminium frame offers rigidity and nimble handling.
• Race-inspired aluminium swingarm is braced on both sides with optimised rigidity for superior racetrack performance.
• Bolt-on rear subframe made from strong, lightweight square aluminium tubing.
• Optional winglets extend from the front cowl sides to generate downforce at high speeds, enhancing stability.
• Lightweight 6-spoke cast aluminium wheels contribute to sporty handling and appearance.
• Bridgestone BATTLAX RACING STREET RS11 radial tyres deliver consistent grip, cornering performance, and durability across various conditions.
• Dual Brembo 4-piston radial-mount monoblock front calipers with ø320mm discs and a single rear caliper with ø220mm disc provide stable, powerful braking.
• Front brake lever features slots to reduce wind pressure effects that can cause brake drag at high speeds.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) Features:

• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) offers three settings to tailor power delivery to different riding conditions.
• Smart TLR Control integrates the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) with Lift Limiter and Roll Torque Control, enabling the rider to enhance rider control across varying conditions.
• Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System gives greater controllability over the engine and helps harness that power effectively.
• Bi-directional quick shift system enables smooth, clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless performance.
• Motion Track Brake System modulates brake pressure during cornering to help maintain line control.
• Slope Dependent Control adjusts ABS braking stability based on bike posture and downhill grade to prevent rear-wheel lift.
• Suzuki Easy Start System starts the engine with just one quick press of the starter button
• Low RPM Assist makes pulling away from a standing start even smoother and easier

Electric Equipment Features:

• A new lightweight Lithium-ion battery offers increased stability and reduced weight.
• LCD multifunction instrument panel provides clear, quick access to tachometer, speedometer, and other vital info.
• Narrow, high-illumination LED headlight enhances the bike’s aggressive design.
• LED tail and brake lights utilise a vertical layout for a sharp, slim profile.
• Bright, sharp LED turn signals add to the modern aesthetic.

Styling Features:

• Available in three colour schemes celebrating the GSX-R’s 40th anniversary, inspired by iconic liveries from previous generations.
• 40th anniversary logos, new graphics reminiscent of the original GSX-R, and bold stripes add a sporty, aggressive look.
• Sleek, narrow, and compact bodywork with minimal frontal area maximises aerodynamics.
• Designed with a contoured fuel tank top that allows riders to tuck in tightly during high-speed runs on the racetrack.
