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.
Disclaimer: *The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider's throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
