ONE BIKE, EVERY ROAD

Suzuki has expanded its middleweight line-up with the launch of the new SV-7GX, a road-focused crossover that combines the much-loved character of the SV650’ s V-twin engine with the comfort and practicality of a modern sport tourer.
At the heart of the SV-7GX is Suzuki’ s proven 645cc liquid-cooled 90-degree V-twin, updated with ride-by-wire throttle control and integrated into the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System. The package includes selectable ride modes, traction control and a bi-directional quickshifter as standard. Power is rated at 54kW at 8,500rpm, with
64Nm of torque at 6,800rpm, promising the broad, userfriendly performance that has made the SV platform a favourite for more than two decades.
The SV-7GX takes the familiar SV formula in a new direction. Inspired by the larger GSX-S1000GX, it features a half fairing, adjustable windscreen, upright ergonomics and a more substantial seat designed for longer days in the saddle. With a seat height of 795mm and a wet weight of 211kg, it remains accessible while offering the comfort and weather protection riders need for commuting and weekend touring.
