SUZUKI ' S SPORTS CROSSOVER TOURER
Suzuki has pulled the covers off two more new models for 2024 , with the reveal of a new GSX-S1000GX crossover at Eicma , in Milan , Italy .
With a design and product concept of the ultimate sports crossover , the GSX-S1000GX is set to become the benchmark in the category , as Suzuki moves into the crossover sector of the market for the first time .
It boasts Suzuki ’ s most sophisticated electronics package to date , with a number of new and innovative systems enabled by a six-axis Bosch IMU and electronic suspension from Showa .
The GSX-S1000GX is the first Suzuki to adopt Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension ( SAES ). The GX gets 150mm front and rear suspension travel to create an upright riding position , broadening the rider ’ s field of view and providing all-day riding comfort . The longer suspension travel also helps the GX smooth out bumps when riding over uneven surfaces .
There are four selectable modes of SAES : hard , medium , soft , and a customisable user setting which offers +/ - three increments on the selected base setting of hard , medium , or soft .
Further helping smooth out those bumps and undulations is Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilisation ( SRAS ). An original Suzuki system , in use for the first time on the new GX , it detects uneven road surfaces based on input from the IMU and wheel speed sensors , and , if required , triggers the Suzuki Floating Ride Control ( SFRC ) to help smooth out the ride . As part of the SFRC it also adjusts the electronic throttle valve settings to deliver softer , more controllable throttle response .
