2025 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+

While sharing its core elements with the other models in the GSX-S series, the GSX-S1000GX+ introduces new features and advanced functions that give it a unique position as Suzuki’s new Sport Crossover model.

Like the GSX-S1000GT+, the GX+ features superbike-level performance, confidence-inspiring handling, optimized comfort, connectivity, and attention to detail one expects of a premium sport touring experience.

Though both the GX+ and GT+ belong to the GSX-S series, their differences are also significant. The GX+ features a longer suspension stroke that contributes to its extended front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance, and comfortable, upright riding position. Furthermore, GSX-S1000GX+ achieves a whole new level of suspension performance by introducing Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) — Suzuki’s first electronic suspension — and by adopting Suzuki’s original new Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS) system. These technologies combine to make the GX+ comfortable and confidence inspiring on road surfaces ranging from urban asphalt and cobblestones to paved country and winding mountain roads.

The result is an exciting new Crossover machine that sits comfortably between the sport tourers and adventure tourers. While delivering the aggressive superbike performance and sporty looks that distinguish the GSX-S series, the GX+ also provides long-distance touring comfort thanks in part to its upright riding position and equipment features. Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES), the integrated riding modes and control provided by Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α), and other advanced systems help ensure comfort and a premium sport touring experience, even on cobblestones and other less-than-ideal road surfaces. 

The GSX-S1000GX+ is well worthy of taking its place as the king of Crossover touring comfort and riding pleasure, with a level of aggressive-looking SuperSport styling and attention to detail that will resonate soundly with discerning riders.

Features May Include:

ENGINE 

• With a 998cc DOHC, liquid-cooled engine architecture honed and refined through years of road racing championships around the world, the GX+'s engine effortlessly powers this luxury crossover motorcycle.
• Compared to the prior generation GSX-S1000 engine, the GX+’s camshaft profiles decrease lift and valve overlap, not only to improve emissions but balance the engine’s performance and rideability.
• 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.
• Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies help provide precise control for the new Suzuki Drive Mode Selector - Alpha (SDMS-α), Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS), Smart Cruise Control systems, and more. Long-tip, 10-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization, while the automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle.
• The GSX-S1000GX+’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system has a centralized mass, under-chassis design with sharp looks, and an exciting note. A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the muffler, while the sculpted muffler has a pleasing appearance that is uncommon to under-chassis exhausts and creates an exciting, distinctive sound that will not overpower the rider’s and passenger’s senses.
• The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to increased power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.

TRANSSMISSION 

• Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GX+’s race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.
• The latest generation of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch is fitted to the GSX-S1000GX+. More than ever before, the SCAS clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.
• The gearshift cam, shift shaft, and clutch release cam were designed to support the function of the Bi-directional Quick Shift system and still provide precise shifting action with superb feedback to the rider.
• The strong, 525 drive chain uses O-rings to preserve internal lubrication, so power is transmitted smoothly and quietly.

CHASSIS

• Suzuki’s proven, twin-spar aluminum frame helps to ensure nimble handling and great road-holding ability. The GX+'s unique sub-frame design provides several benefits. It provides strong and secure attachment points for the side cases. Secondly, the short distance between the upper and lower rails makes it possible to increase the thickness of the rear seat for greater passenger comfort. Additionally, the exposed trellis design adds to the GSX-S1000GX+’s striking looks.
• The taller suspension with its extended travel combines with the seat’s design to increase the distance between the rider’s hip point and foot point by 0.6 in. (15 mm), which increases comfort by reducing the amount of knee bend. This results in a comfortable upright riding position for touring long distances or heading out for a sporty run.
• Unique to GSX-S1000 models, the lightweight TRP six-spoke, cast-aluminum wheels in black are fitted with Dunlop’s Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front and a wide 190/50ZR17 at the rear) providing great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.
• ABS** equipped dual, front brakes use a pair of Brembo Monobloc calipers, with four 32mm opposed pistons paired with fully floating 310mm stainless steel discs. And the rear brake has a 240mm stainless steel disc with a Nissin single-piston caliper are also ABS** equipped.

ELECTRICAL

• The GSX-S1000GX+ is a formidable Luxury Crossover model that combines the advantages of a long-stroke suspension with the benefits of electronic suspension performance. The Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) uses vehicle and speed information from the IMU and wheel speed sensors, plus information from high-precision stroke sensors compactly integrated into both the front and rear suspension to instantly determine optimal damping.
• The advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) make the GSX-S1000GX+ the most advanced Suzuki motorcycle allowing riders optimize performance characteristics to best suit their riding style. (S.I.R.S) features include Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α), Smart TLR Control, Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS), Lift Limiter, Roll Torque Control, Active Damping Control, Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS), Automatic Rear Suspension Modes, Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System, Bi-directional Quick Shift System, Smart Cruise Control, Motion Track Brake System, Slope Dependent Control System, Suzuki Easy Start System and Low RPM Assist.
• The GSX-S1000GX+ instrument panel employs a 6.5-inch full-color TFT LCD display designed to be easy to see and understand, and to provide the rider with instant access to the desired information.
• The 6.5-inch TFT LCD multi-information display was developed to provide smartphone connectivity through the SUZUKI mySPINTM application. The mySPINTM system applications include Contacts, Phone, Maps, Music, and Calendar

BODY & STYLING

• The aerodynamic design goal was to maximize wind protection and make the rider more comfortable by reducing sources of stress such as exposure to the cold and elements. This helps reduce fatigue when touring for long distances at speed and frees the rider to concentrate on enjoying the journey.
• Development of the adjustable windscreen involved repeated rounds of wind tunnel testing and analysis as the design was refined until it achieved just the right overall balance of rider comfort and aerodynamic performance.
• Designed with spacious storage capacity and the ability to clip on and off the motorcycle in seconds, the GSX-S1000GX+’s standard, large-capacity side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the motorcycle’s sharp, futuristic styling. The side case locks accept the motorcycle’s ignition key to open the luggage or disengage the quick-release mechanism. Also standard equipped, is a center stand for simplified maintenance or another parking option.
• The GSX-S1000GX+ is fitted with a matte black, tapered cast-aluminum floating handlebar. Rubber mounts in the upper fork clamp and handlebar brackets reduce the amount of vibration transmitted to the rider’s hands, standard-equipment knuckle covers (hand guards) help protect the rider’s hands from the elements, and rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that also increases comfort on long rides.
