2024 Suzuki GSX-8R Dyno Run

The 2024 Suzuki GSX-8R utilizes a 776cc parallel twin with a 270-degree crank attached to a six-speed transmission featuring a bidirectional quickshifter. A basic electronics suite provides three power modes (A, B, C) and four levels of traction control (1, 2, 3) including the option to turn it off. The 8R’s chassis is nearly identical to the 8S. Both models feature a steel backbone-style frame and a steel bolt-on subframe. Braking components, geometry, and wheel sizes remain unchanged from the GSX-8S. Where the bikes differ is in the suspension department. Suzuki fitted the GSX-8R with a nonadjustable Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork-Big Piston) fork and a preload-adjustable Showa shock. The GSX-8S utilizes KYB componentry.
