The all-new 2026 Suzuki GSX-R1000R is finally here

The passenger seat can be replaced with an optional color-matched solo tail cowl (available from your Suzuki dealer). See authorized Suzuki dealers for the wide range of Suzuki Genuine Accessories available for the GSX-R. The GSX-R1000R has a twelve-month unlimited mileage limited warranty, and longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) multi-plate, wet clutch functions like a slipper clutch during downshifts while increasing plate pressure during acceleration. The Suzuki Bi-directional Quick Shift System enables smooth, clutchless upshifts and downshifts of the cassette-style, six-speed transmission.

The cassette-style, six-speed transmission lets riders precisely match gear ratios to the riding condition. A cassette-style transmission can be easily removed from the crankcase as an assembly with the engine still in the frame, making racetrack gear changes easier and simplifying service.

Based on Suzuki’s race-proven, close-ratio transmissions, the GSX-R1000R gear box features vertically staggered shafts reducing overall engine length.

The shift linkage can be easily set up for reverse-pattern, GP-style shifting (even with the quick-shifter in use).

Light and compact, the twin-spar aluminum frame has adjustable swingarm pivots to help racers tune the chassis. The gold-anodized Showa® BFF fork and rear suspension components deliver extraordinary damping control while the lean-sensitive, ABS** system monitors the Brembo® four-piston, front brake calipers that are fed by stainless steel hoses.

The GSX-R1000R’s swingarm pivot features an adjustable location so the chassis can be better tuned for competition use (please use the standard position for street riding).

The Show® a Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) uses race-level technology to bring excellent damping force responsiveness not seen before in a supersport motorcycle. This suspension’s design controls damping force outside of the spring chamber, so the fork precisely maintains consistent damping regardless of its stroking action. With the BFF the rider enjoys an unparalleled level of surface feedback and ride compliance.

The GSX-R1000R is also fitted with a lightweight, race-ready upper triple clamp in conjunction with the BFF.

Racetrack-developed links connect the single Showa® Balance Free Rear Cushion Light (BFRC-lite) shock to the braced swingarm. The BFRC-lite’s innovative design controls damping force outside of the shock body to not only control how the suspension strokes but helps smooth its reaction over bumpy surfaces or when the chassis is pitched during braking. This produces a superb level of response in a racetrack environment and sets a new standard for rider feedback and comfort during street riding.

The GSX-R1000R comes with track-day-ready Bridgestone® Racing Street RS11 low-mass tires. The tires’ tread pattern reduces wear and maximizing sport performance and contact feel.
