luminox™- Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Suzuki finally officially released the GSX-S1000 2021 globally, on Monday (26/4). Compared to the previous model, it looks more aggressive thanks to a completely new design. Make the body look more muscular and futuristic. The most prominent change from the shape of the headlamp. The equipment it carries is also more sophisticated. Regarding the price, this brand-new iron horse is priced at US $ 15,190.28 or the equivalent of Rp. 219 million. The news about his presence has long been discussed. Finally, when Suzuki's official YouTube account spread the new teaser for the naked bike. And Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd officially sells the brand-new GSX-S1000 to Europe and other countries around the world starting June 2021. The design-change transformation is very clever. Now the GSX-S1000 uses a projector LED which is divided into 2 upper and lower sides. The fascia design looks aggressive. For sweetness, a minimalist DRL is also pinned at the top of the main light. The side body, or rather in the shroud sector, has also changed, now using a side panel with a new design and a winglet that is said to be inspired by MotoGP. Suzuki managed to achieve a completely new look for the GSX-S1000 without having to invest heavily. All major components such as the frame, engine, suspension, swingarm and wheels remained largely unchanged, only given a few touches. The most striking difference, of course, is the bodywork it wears, which really changes its appeal, especially with modern electronic embeds.Still relying on a sturdy twinspar frame, with a tapered handlebar shape. This position of the handlebar also brings the rider 20 mm closer, thereby increasing comfort. The rear bodywork is simplified, exposing more subframes. With a matte black color on the tail, it looks shorter, even though the proportions of the motorbike are similar to the old model.The frame has not changed, all the hard points installed are the same as before. However, the old GSX-S1000 uses black, painted plastic to hide the mechanical parts, a new one with a different texture and finish. Most notable is the front with the radiator cover, the middle and the side panels under the tank. It has a marble look reminiscent of forged composite panels, po[CENSORED]r among today's high-end supercar manufacturers.The engine still takes the base of the old model GSX-R1000 K5. It has only been developed slightly to increase emissions without compromising performance. Its roots may go back to 2005, but the K5 is widely considered to be the high point in the history of the GSX-R1000, so the engine is well kept. The result is that he has passed the Euro 5 emission test. Changes include a new camshaft with a different cam profile and less overlap, new valve springs, a different clutch, a new throttle body, a new airbox, and a revised exhaust with an additional catalytic converter. Meanwhile, an increase in emissions is often in line with a reduction in power. But the GSX-S1000 2021 is getting more horsepower than before, peaking at 150 hp (152 PS) instead of 148 hp (150 PS). It spins louder, too, with peak power coming at 11,000 rpm instead of 10,000 rpm. The engine also offers better torque and a wider spread of performance in the lower rev range than before.The downside is the fuel consumption. If the old 2020 specification GSX-S1000 is good to claim 53.3 mpg (22 kpl), the new one only takes 46.26 mpg (19 kpl). To compensate, the fuel tank capacity increased from 17 liters to 19 liters. Make sure the distance between charges is not blocked, but still costs more.On the electronics side, it adopts an electronically controlled throttle (ride by wire), with the new names SIRS (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System) and SDMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) which can select the output characteristics of three modes (mode A is the most sporty and mode C is the softest power delivery). There is also a five-mode traction control system (which can be turned off completely). All of this information is displayed on the updated instrument LCD. Also provided is an up and down Quickshifter, including a blipping throttle system for downward changes, also standard. This motorbike is also equipped with the Suzuki Easy Start System.The Instrument Panel is upgraded, no longer a simple LCD design with a round shape. Now use the color TFT model, as used with competitors. Its form follows the latest trends, giving it a sophisticated impression.For the shock absorber, the GSX-S1000 2021 uses an upside down front suspension. Combined with the monoshock on the back. Use KYB alerts. While the rims use a racing model wrapped in Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires measuring 120 / 70-17 in front and 190 / 50-17 rear. Each wheel is equipped with disc brakes. The front uses monoblock radial calipers from Brembo and is supported by ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) technology.Himself is offered with three color choices; MotoGP-style blue and silver combo, gray and black versions.
