Suzuki GSX-8S takes on a new look this summer

Part of Suzuki’s increasingly popular 776cc platform, the GSX-8S now has three new colourways to shout about this summer.

The first of those is a twist on the company’s traditional ‘Suzuki blue’ which is officially known as Metallic Triton Blue. This option has now gained blue radiator shrouds and a matching headlight cowl up front, while the tank and seat unit wear a new Glass Sparkle Black colour. The grey wheels have been joined by a separate bolt-on subframe in the same colour.

Up next is the Glass Sparkle Black option, which is paired with Metallic Matt Black to create a stealthy appearance. This same colour is also found aboard the bike’s wheels. 

The matt black that’s found on the radiator shrouds of the all-black model is also present on the headlight cowl, and the seat unit of the third livery, which gets a Candy Daring Red colour scheme on its fuel tank, wheels, and decals.

The GSX-8S makes use of Suzuki’s 776cc parallel twin engine, which is featured across the 8R sportbike, 8T, and 8TT modern classics.

The GSX-8S has three power modes available, three traction control modes, plus a bi-directional quickshifter, all of which come as standard. The bike’s information is displayed via a TFT screen, with full LED lighting all around, including the indicators.

The GSX-8S has quickly become one of the brand’s best-received models since its launch in 2023. The middleweight naked was soon followed by the 8R, which has already become a championship-winning bike domestically. 

More recently, Suzuki introduced the GSX-8T and 8TT models, which have given the range a nice balance between sport-based motorcycles and classic-style models.
