Suzuki GSX-8R priced at Rs 9.25 lakh

Suzuki has launched the all new GSX-8R in India and it is set to compete with the Triumph Daytona 660, Aprilia RS 660 and Kawasaki Ninja 650. 

 

Powering the GSX-8R is a 776cc parallel twin motor that produces 82hp and 78Nm. This motor also powers the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE but is in a different state of tune and produces lesser power in the ADV. This motor is paired to a 6-speed gearbox that’s equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter which is available as standard.

The new GSX-8R follows Suzuki’s new design language featuring a compact, vertically-stacked LED headlamp framed by air intakes. In terms of features it gets a ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, multiple ride modes and ABS. For braking, it comes equipped with dual 310mm front discs and a single 240mm rear disc. With a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters and a kerb weight of 205 kg, the GSX-8R aims to deliver both performance and practicality.

It rides on a set of cast aluminum wheels that are wrapped in Dunlop RoadSport 2 tyres. The GSX-8R is suspended by Showa USD fork and a Showa monoshock that allows for preload adjustment. Currently Suzuki offers the GSX-8R with three colours: Metallic Matte Sword Silver, Metallic Triton Blue and Metallic Matte Black No.2. It will rival the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 650Triumph Daytona 660 and Aprilia RS 660.
