Suzuki Motorcycle India elevates its Big Bike Segment with launch of the Suzuki GSX-8R in India

‘The New Standard of Sport’

New Delhi, 04 October 2024: Bringing fresh energy into its big bike segment, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL), the two-wheeler subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, announces launch of the all-new Suzuki GSX-8R in India.

Setting the ‘The New Standard of Sport’, the GSX-8R combines practical real-world performance, rider-friendly controllability and advanced equipment features with cutting-edge sportbike styling.

Commenting on the launch of the company’s newest sportbike, Mr. Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. said, “GSX-8R allows riders of all ages to ride with confidence - whether it’s for daily commuting or weekend long touring. Its advanced Suzuki Intelligent Control System (S.I.R.S) which includes features like Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) and Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) makes riding smoother, easier and enjoyable for everyone. We believe that GSX-8R will connect with our customers and provide them with a truly satisfying riding experience.”

Introducing SMIPL’s latest offering, Mr. Devashish Handa, Executive Vice President – Sales, Marketing and After Sales, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. said, “After its debut at the EICMA 2023 and showcase at Bharat Mobility Global EXPO earlier this year, the Suzuki GSX-8R now hits the Indian market. The GSX-8R delivers a new standard of sport; one that is ideal for enthusiasts seeking real-world performance, technology, and rideability. At Suzuki, we are dedicated to creating motorcycles that instil confidence and the GSX-8R is a testament to this commitment.”

Styling Features

The GSX-8R features advanced styling that pays tribute to Suzuki’s sportbike heritage while aiming to create a new look that symbolizes the future of Suzuki sportbike design.

The cowling and windscreen of the motorcycle are developed through extensive wind tunnel testing. The cowling improves high-speed stability and provides better wind protection, while the windscreen helps reduce wind noise and buffeting, thus minimizing rider fatigue & offering a comfortable touring experience.

The sharp lines and flat surfaces of the bodywork highlight the GSX-8R’s compact, slim, and well-balanced proportions. Exposed parts like engine and seat rails are painted to showcase their mechanical beauty, while the short muffler which is subtly rising from the right side of the engine further adds to the bike’s slim and compact profile.

At the front are a vertically stacked pair of hexagonal LED headlights that employ a bright mono-focus LED light technology, providing the rider with a clear view of the road ahead. This is further enhanced by an LED position light which creates a sharp look and gives the front end a light and ready-for-action feel. The compact LED rear combination light and LED license plate light are mounted on the slim rear fender that makes the GSX-8R rear end look even shorter and slimmer.

Bold Graphics with iconic typography make the GSX-8R instantly recognizable. Completing the package is a custom 5-inch colour TFT LCD instrument panel which provides a clear, easy-to-read display of information.

Engine Features

The GSX-8R is built on Suzuki’s solid engineering advances. At its core lies Suzuki’s new-generation 776cm3 parallel twin DOHC engine that delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance at higher speeds. Its 270-degree crankshaft gives the engine power delivery characteristics and a pleasing sound, similar to Suzuki’s V-twin engines.

The patented Suzuki Cross Balancer system, a biaxial primary balancer, helps the engine run smoothly while keeping it compact and lightweight. Complementing this is a sophisticated cooling system inlet control, which maintains consistent engine temperatures and eliminates rough idling, especially when warming up in colder conditions.

The 2-in-1 exhaust system on GSX-8R is designed to enhance both performance and sound. Its two-stage catalytic converter meets stringent Euro 5 standards for emissions, while maximizing power output and overall performance.

Paired with the engine is a six-speed transmission that provides smooth gear shifts and strong acceleration whether shifting normally or without using clutch with the Bi-directional Quick Shift system, which comes as standard. The Suzuki Clutch Assist System further makes long rides more comfortable by reducing fatigue and providing smoother shifts.

Chassis Features:

Designed as a perfect pairing with the parallel twin engine, the GSX-8R’s frame is made from rugged steel pipe, engineered to provide comfort, straight-line stability and nimble handling whether riding through the city, cruising on highways, or tackling winding mountain roads.

The GSX-8R is fitted with forged aluminium separate handlebars, placed lower and further forward to offer a sporty riding position. The lightweight cast aluminium wheels, paired with Dunlop RoadSport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front; 180/55ZR17 at the rear) offer great grip and stability.

Its Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) inverted front forks ensure a smooth and controlled ride, while the Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) link-type rear suspension enhances both agility and stability. The dedicated link-type mono-shock rear suspension, featuring a preload adjuster, is set to provide straight-line stability and a smooth, controllable ride. Matching to the GSX-8R’s chassis geometry and suspension is a uniquely shaped lightweight aluminium swingarm, enhancing torsional rigidity for nimble handling and stability.

The motorcycle comes with a 14L fuel tank that combines a sleek design with a good riding range. The rider’s seat is crafted for comfort and support, allowing freedom of movement, making it ideal for sporty riding. The cowl-mounted mirrors not only look sharp but are also designed to improve aerodynamics and wind protection, enhancing the GSX-8R’s modern sporty look.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) Features

The Suzuki GSX-8R uses the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) which features a three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) to adapt to different riding conditions and styles. It also includes the advanced four-mode (including an option to turn off) Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) that boosts rider confidence by providing better control. Furthermore, S.I.R.S. incorporates Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System, Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS), Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist, all contributing to a superior riding experience.

Pricing & Availability

The all-new Suzuki GSX-8R arrives with a trio of body color choices: Metallic Matte Sword Silver, Metallic Triton Blue and Metallic Matte Black No.2. Priced at Rs. 9,25,000/- (ex-showroom Delhi), this latest sportbike from Suzuki is available at all Suzuki Bike Zones across India.

This expedition ride showcased the V-Strom SX's 250cc Oil-cooled engine and Suzuki Oil Cooling System (SOCS) technology, which performed flawlessly under the most challenging high-altitude conditions. The bike’s engineering excellence was on full display as it effortlessly navigated through a variety of terrains, including both paved and unpaved roads, while enduring subzero temperatures.

Its slim and compact profile offers plenty of torque, power and control with smooth throttle response, filling the rider’s personal adventuring experience with fun and pleasure.

The engine's 270-degree crankshaft ensures a smooth ride with abundant torque and positive traction, while producing a pleasing rumble and sound same as Suzuki's renowned V-twin engines.

The patented Suzuki Cross Balancer system suppresses vibration contributing to smooth operation and helps achieve a compact and lightweight package that enhances the motorcycle’s nimble handling.

Additionally, the Suzuki V-STROM 800DE is equipped with a highly efficient liquid cooling system, a 2-into-1 exhaust system with dual-stage catalytic converter, and Suzuki clutch assist system which helps to reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.

Staying true to Suzuki's design philosophy and V-STROM heritage, the Suzuki V-STROM 800DE embodies unique styling expressions. The motorcycle features the iconic V-STROM 'beak' positioned higher to signify the model's exceptional prowess in handling gravel roads and challenging trails.

The V-STROM 800DE adopts a custom 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-information screen with night and day modes, accompanied by a convenient USB port in the left side of the meter cluster. The vertically stacked pair of distinctive hexagonal LED headlights, position lighting, taillight and turn signals ensure clear visibility and practical durability.

The V-STROM 800DE features highly rigid new steel frame designed to provide all the strength needed for negotiating rougher trails, to provide excellent straight-line stability, to contribute to nimble handling, and to perform well at highway speeds when touring for long distances. The seat rails feature a narrow profile that helps riders better control the bike with their legs.

Its Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) inverted front forks with 220 mm wheel travel deliver a smooth, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics, suitable for adventure touring. The spring preload and compression/rebound damping can be adjusted to best match rider’s preference or the usage conditions.

The Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) mono-shock rear suspension contributes to agility and stability. The adjustable spring preload is particularly beneficial when preparing to ride tandem or carry a load.

The impressive 220 mm ground clearance of the V-STROM 800DE is the tallest among all V-STROM models. Dual front disc brakes with 310mm deliver exceptional stopping power and control.

The V-STROM 800DE comes with a 20-liter fuel tank that provides extended riding range, while the wire-spoked and semi blocked patterned 21-inch front and 17-inch rear Dunlop wheels ensure stability and traction on diverse surfaces.

The solid mount seat of the Suzuki V-STROM 800DE allows the rider freedom of movement while its wide tapered handlebars offer comfort and shock absorption on unpaved surfaces. The short windscreen with 3-step height adjustment maximizes visibility and protection when exploring country trails or gravel roads. Solid grab bars on each side offer passengers a firm grip and add a tough looking design accent. Integrated with the rear carrier, these bars facilitate the mounting of optional top cases made available as genuine accessories.

Equipped with the innovative Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S), the V-Strom 800DE empowers riders with advanced technology to conquer any terrain with confidence and ease. Providing riders with the flexibility to customize settings according to their skill level and riding conditions, S.I.R.S. enhances the V-STROM 800DE's controllability, predictability, and overall ease of operation.

This company has always been very close to my heart. In fact, India is one of the largest manufacturers of two wheelers in the world.

As our global operations experienced a paradigm shift in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Suzuki Motorcycle India has also been taking various initiatives to align with the `New Normal’. The launch of our on-line sales module, and the `Suzuki at your Doorstep’ program have been our successful efforts in that direction.

But we believe that our business in India will bounce back faster than expected, and I will be able to fully leverage our past experience of the Indian market once the situation gets better.

Today, we manufacture or assemble the entire Suzuki Two Wheeler product portfolio available in the Indian market. Our Gurugram plant makes all these products to cater not only to the domestic demand, but also to cater to the demand of our overseas markets. I would like further strengthen our commitment to the Make in India program in our efforts towards gaining a much higher market share in the premium segment”.

GIXXER CUP 2018 OFF TO A BLAZING START AS DEFENDING CHAMPION JOSEPH MATTHEW STEALS THE SHOW

Coimbatore, July 10, 2018:  Neither rain-interruptions, nor the overcast conditions could dampen the spirit of either the riders, or the sell-out crowd as the 2018 season of the Gixxer Cup kick-started in an emphatic fashion at the Kari Motor Speedway, Coimbatore this weekend. Defending champion Joseph Matthew continued his fine run of form from last-year, overcoming a highly competitive grid, and challenging racing conditions to eke out impressive victories in Race 1 and Race 2 of the season opener of the Suzuki Gixxer Cup. In Suzuki Gixxer Redbull Road to Rookies, it was Zothanmawia from Aizwal, who took the top-honours in both, the Race 1, and Race 2 conducted this weekend.

In the Race 1, Matthew, who hails from Chennai, had established a strong lead in the initial laps itself, which he held on to, clocking 14:15:877 minutes over 10 laps. The fight for the second-spot had been a more closely contested affair between Aizwal’s Malsawmdawngliana (14:19:122) and Bengaluru’s Syed Muzamil Ali (14:19:181), with the former prevailing by a margin of just 59 milliseconds. It was a similar story in the Race 2 as well, with Matthew leading from start-to-finish, clocking 14:16:799 seconds, which also included this weekend’s best lap-time of 1:23:411 minutes. However, it was a role-reversal for the second and third spot as this time Syed Muzamil Ali (14:18:749) managed to narrowly edge past Malsawmdawngliana (14:18:951) in an exciting finish.

At the end of Round 1 of the Suzuki Gixxer Cup, Joseph Matthew leads the championship table with 20 points with Syed Muzamil Ali and Malsawmdawngliana in keen pursuit at 14 points each. Anthony Lalawmpuia, from Aizwal with 8-points occupies the fourth-spot, followed by Clinton Cordeiro with 7-point at the fifth-spot. Vidhan Dubey from Bhopal, and Sanjeev Mhatre, from Mumbai are tied at 6-points each.

Meanwhile, the Suzuki Gixxer Redbull Road to Rookies, was completely dominated by Zothanmawia. During Race 1, he clocked 14:23:901 minutes, while in the Race 2, he clocked 14:36:129 minutes including the round’s best lap time of 1:24:176 minutes. Aizwal’s PC Andy Lalhmangaihsang (14:47:701) emerged second in the Race 1 ahead of Jerome Vanlalrengpuia from Lawngtla, (14:50:264); while in the Race 2, Jerome from Lawngtla (15:04:514) wrested the second-spot from PC Andy Lalhmangaihsang (15:13:476) who finished third.
