The most powerful GSX-R ever

The latest-generation 999.8cm3 in-line four cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine, is the most powerful, hardest accelerating GSX-R engine ever built. Producing 148.6kW (202ps) @13,200rpm with 117.6Nm of torque @10,800rpm. The design target was simple “Increase top end power without sacrificing low and mid range output” to achieve this Suzuki engineers had to employ advanced MotoGP derived technologies known as the Broad Power System.

Broad Power System

The Suzuki Racing VVT (SR-VVT), Suzuki Exhaust Tuning-Alpha (SET-A) and Suzuki Top Feed Injector (S-TFI) systems combine to make the Broad Power System, the engineering goal was to increase high-rpm performance without reducing low and mid-range performance. The results of this system is strong, linear power and enhanced acceleration throughout the rpm range

• Suzuki Racing VVT

  The centrifugally operated system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate, using 12 steel balls and slanted grooves to rotate the sprocket and retard the intake valve timing at a pre-set rpm,boosting high-rpm power.

• Suzuki Exhaust Tuning-Alpha (SET-A)

  Each header balance tube features a servo-operated SET-A butterfly valve. The SET-A valve in each header balance tube remains closed to enhance lower-rpm and mid-range power, then opens to increase volume and reduce back pressure to add significant power at higher rpm.

• Top Feed Injector

  The ride-by-wire throttle bodies each feature a single butterfly valve and each cylinder is fed by two ultra-fine 10-hole injectors. The primary injector operates at all times. A second injector in the top of the airbox and operates at higher rpm.

• Motion Track TCS

  The rider can chose from 10 levels of Motion Track TCS intervention: Mode 1 is the minimum, Mode 10 is the maximum intervention level. Modes 1-4 are designed for racetrack riding; Modes 5-8 are designed for street riding; and Modes 9-10 are designed for slippery road conditions.

• Bi-Directional Quick Shift System

  A racing-type bi-directional quick shift system, allows the rider to up-shift and downshift without using the clutch or the throttle.

• Launch Control [R-Model]

  Launch control system makes it easier for a racer to get a good start in competition by automatically limiting engine rpm and optimising torque delivery while the rider holds the throttle wide open and concentrates on releasing the clutch lever.

• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

  Using the S-DMS switch on the left handlebar, the rider can select three different mapping and engine power delivery settings designed to match power delivery to various ambient conditions, such as riding on different racetracks, or on tight twisty roads, or in urban settings, or in traffic, or on straight and open highways.

• Lighter Aluminium Frame

  Suzuki engineers designed a new twin-spar aluminium perimeter frame that’s 20mm narrower at the widest point between the spars and weighs 10% less than previous.

• Racing inspired swingarm

  An aluminium swingarm is braced on both sides instead of on one, to improve weight and rigidity balance. It’s also 25mm longer from the pivot shaft to the rear-most axle position, improving cornering feel on the racetrack.
