Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) better supports the rider in matching performance to the conditions of the riding scene, road conditions, or preferred riding style. Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) with 3 mode settings (+ OFF) enables greater control over the bike’s behaviour under varied riding conditions. Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System gives greater controllability over the engine and helps harness that power effectively. Bi-directional Quick Shift (with ON/OFF settings) provides quicker, smoother, more assured upshifts and downshifts without operating the clutch lever. ABS contributes to stable braking by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking. Suzuki Easy Start System starts the engine with just one quick press of the starter button Low RPM Assist makes pulling away from a standing start even smoother and easier. Engine 776cm³ parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance through to the high end. 16.5L fuel tank features an elegant shape and a riding position suitable for long-distance touring. The 270-degree configuration helps maintain a pleasant feeling similar to Suzuki’s V-twin models, such as the SV650. Suzuki Cross Balancer, the first primary balancer of its type on a production motorcycle, contributes to smooth operation and a compact, lightweight engine design. Cooling system inlet control helps maintain consistent engine temperature and eliminates rough idle while warming the engine in cold weather. Electronic throttle bodies help achieve a better balance between idling speed control and power output characteristics. The 2-into-1 exhaust system features a dual-stage catalytic converter inside the collector that meets Euro 5 emissions standards. Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.
