The all-new Suzuki GSX-S1000 has made its debut in the international market. The brand has completely revamped the 2021 GSX-S1000 in terms of design, features and engine.

The brand has also announced that the streetfighter will be sold in the international markets with deliveries beginning from June 2021 in Europe.
2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 Engine Specifications
Powering the GSX-S1000 is a new Euro5 compliant 999cc inline four-cylinder motor. The four-stroke DOHC fuel injection engine produces 150 Hp of power and 106 Nm of torque. The motor comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter. The engine now comes with a new intake and exhaust mechanism and electronic throttle control. The engine also features new valve springs, re-profiled camshafts and a new catalytic converter system. The result is an increased top-end output, despite the suffocating Euro5 emission requirements.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 Electronics Package
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 comes with a newly installed S.I.R.S. (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System), an intelligent electronic control system. The GSX-S1000 also comes with a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) that offers three distinct riding modes, an updated Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) that now comes with 5-mode settings and a Bi-directional Quick Shift System that gives the rider option of clutchless up/downshifting.
Design & Styling
The Suzuki GSX-S1000 features a vertically stacked pair of mono-focus type LED headlights giving it an aggressive front fascia. The bodywork is sharp and aggressive and the motorcycle comes with a muscular fuel tank. The GSX-S1000 also gets a tapered handlebar with a 23mm wider grip and a comfortable rider’s triangle. The tank sides also offer a slim knee recess area to grip the motorcycle while cornering. The tail is also sleek and features an LED taillight unit.
Mechanical Specifications
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 features a twin-spar aluminium frame that offers optimised agility, nimble handling and road-holding ability.
