2019 Suzuki GSX-S1000FZ

2019 Suzuki GSX-S1000FZ

As much as the GSX-R1000 owns the racetrack, the Suzuki GSX-S1000FZ owns the road. This tour-ready sportbike carries Suzuki engine performance to the street, with technology and components packaged into a chassis designed for all-day riding comfort.

The 2019 GSX-S1000FZ is powered by a 999cc inline four-cylinder powerplant with a new throttle control mechanism that helps control torque-rich power that’s ideal for street riding. It’s no surprise that this powerhouse is based on the legendary long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine, which is known for making big power through the low- and mid-range to deliver street-dominating performance.

Equipped with a powerful engine, Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System*, a balanced KYB suspension, plus ABS-equipped** Brembo and Nissin brakes, the GSX-S1000FZ is a street bike packed with some serious performance. Top that performance off with a new, blacked out body treatment on a wind-cheating full fairing and you have a touring-ready sportbike ready for the open road or corner carving.

Built to own the racetrack and let loose on the streets. Since 1985, the GSX-R has been continuously refined to deliver new levels of performance and agility. This legacy of innovation continues with over 1 million legends made.

• The strong, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999cc, inline-four engine is designed to provide smooth throttle response and controlled acceleration.

• Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduces pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque.

• Long-stroke GSX-R engine design has broad low- to mid-range power and torque that is ideal for street riding.

• The race-proven six-speed close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

• The new SCAS-style clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.

• This large diameter, wet multi-plate clutch uses a precise cable-activated release providing the rider with superb friction-point feel.

• Styled to complement the rest of the chassis and to house a bright dual headlight, the GSX-S1000FZ's full fairing slices through the wind so the rider benefits from the upright, sporty ergonomics.

• Lightweight and compact chassis is engineered to be agile and fun to ride for a wide range of riders. This ability starts with the low-mass rigid aluminum main frame coupled with the strong aluminum alloy swingarm.

• The new 43mm inverted KYB forks have adjustable compression and rebound damping, and spring pre-load with a generous 120mm (4.7 inches) of front wheel travel.

• Link-type rear suspension, with arched aluminum swingarm and a single shock absorber featuring spring preload that is seven-way adjustable with rebound damping force adjustment.
