Suzuki GSX-10R: K5-based engine and 15 electronic rider aids
At EICMA 2026 Suzuki unveiled the GSX-10R, a liter-class sportbike built for more than the track: commuting, touring and weekend riding too. Its engine is a modern take on the 2005 GSX-R1000 K5 unit, a liquid-cooled inline-four tuned for stronger low and mid-range response without losing the top-end rush.
It carries 15 electronic features, the most on any Suzuki so far: 10-level traction control, three power modes, launch control, adjustable engine braking, a bi-directional quickshifter and slide control for rear-wheel movement in corners. Cruise control stays on through gear changes, and there is an active speed limiter plus brake hold that keeps rear brake pressure for about 30 seconds. A color TFT, USB-C and smartphone connectivity are included.
The GSX-R1000R stays in the range. The GSX-10R sits below it as the more street-friendly option.
- Engine — 999 cc inline-four
- Curb weight — about 214 kg
