IMFO electrical features
For 2026, Suzuki has fitted the latest, lightweight, and precise Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on the GSX-R1000R. The IMU provides six-direction, three-axis, motion, and position information to the ECM, so instantaneous adjustments are made electronically to the engine and chassis components that influence performance.
The Suzuki Bi-directional Quick Shift System lets GSX-R1000R racers shift faster than ever. By manipulating ignition timing on upshifts and the electronic throttle bodies on downshifts, clutchless shifting helps deliver faster and more consistent lap times.
Updated for 2026, the Suzuki Launch Control System’s calibration provides GSX-R1000R riders a competitive advantage when launching their motorcycle at the start of the race. This system modulates engine power so the rider can concentrate on clutch operation.
Roll Torque Control is an intelligent system that, based on data received from the IMU and wheel speed sensors, calculates the bike’s lean angle and speed to predetermine what level of power output is optimal for a given corner. It works in conjunction with traction control to help deliver a sense of stability through the corner.
The Motion Track Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** brings additional control to anti-lock braking. Like a conventional ABS system, the Motion Track Brake System provides the appropriate amount of braking force for the available traction. When the IMU detects the rear wheel lifting from extreme braking forces, the ABS control module will adjust the front brake pressure to reduce the rear wheel lift. If the IMU senses the motorcycle is leaned over when the brakes are used, the ABS unit will adjust the brake pressure to an optimal amount to help maintain braking force and tire 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.
The GSX-R1000R adopts Lift Limiter, which brings added peace of mind to riders by helping prevent the front wheel from lifting off the ground when accelerating. Lift Limiter world silently in the background, with its settings being determined by the STCS level setting.
The black background LCD multifunction instrument panel was inspired by the GSX-RR MotoGP dash, and the aerodynamic fairing houses a bright, stacked LED headlight assembly and eyebrow position lights above the Suzuki Ram Air Direct intake ducts.
The 2026 GSX-R1000R is equipped with a new lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, which is lighter, more compact and provides more stable voltage underload, resulting in easier starting. The HY battEliiy P-series battery represents a major innovation in motorcycle battery technology, offering numerous advantages over conventional lead-acid batteries, led by an expected ten-year lifespan
New for the 2026 GSX-R1000R is a new, compact, and lightweight ABS Control Unit that weighs 0.12 lbs. (51 g) less than the prior component.
Sharp looking LED position lights are located above the SRAD intakes on each side of the GSX-R1000R’s headlight, enhancing the distinctive, exciting look of the model’s face.
