Suzuki has gone hard on the styling changes, giving the GSX-S a new look with stacked LED lighting on the front and a reshaped seat and larger gas tank.
Beneath the bodywork sits the same GSX-R1000 K5-inspired motor that’s always been present in the GSX-S, with Suzuki fitting a new Euro5-compliant exhaust, new camshafts, valve springs and fuel injection system, a new airbox and the model now receives the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS, basically a slipper clutch) for smoother deceleration and better control when downshifting.
The GSX-S also gets the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System electronics package that includes the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), Suzuki Traction Control, Ride by Wire Electronic Throttle, Bi-Directional Quick Shift, Suzuki Easy Start, and Low RPM Assist systems.
The main chassis remains unchanged in the twin-spar aluminum design with fully adjustable KYB suspension at both ends, Brembo radial monobloc brakes and Dunlop Roadsmart 2 tires.
The 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 is expected to arrive in Suzuki dealerships in fall 2021. The price is still to be announced.
