EICMA 2015 : SUZUKI GSX-R1000 CONCEPT 2017

EICMA 2015 - Suzuki thoroughly reworked upgrade sports motorcycle.

In Suzuki's words, "hot-headed king is back." When you think it can not get any better, indeed. The liter bike breaks new ground with its "big power" (subtext is to broaden the appeal of its hot-headed). When you think of sports cars, you feel the power within haggard, high up the rev range, and not easy to use. Delete this idea. This new GSX-R engine has a centrifugal variable valve timing (VVT), at the end of the Harley-like speed toward the torque peak and then gradually change speed sports motorcycle timing. Best of both worlds. Power to compromise, or at the expense of top and bottom power boost, or to fill in the middle of peak power back by Suzuki racing VVT break.
A wide range of Power systems there are three other elements:
  1. The transition from the cam follower inverted bucket type of one-third of the weight of the fingers. This is a common motorcycle, which ultralight valve train can not chronological shorter peak loss to provide more extensive powers.
  2. The throttle-by-wire system includes "top feed" mounted on top of the intake air intake box (nozzle) syringe. The bottom of the injector, located under the throttle, provides the underlying and midrange power, and cut the nozzle at an unspecified speed to increase the power at the top. This is a top feed injector Suzuki - S-TFI.
  3. Manifold balance pipe is not new, but Suzuki increase the servo-operated valve, which closed at a low speed, increase power there, and then open the high-revving power selectively promote top. These tubes were added 180-degree burn cylinder twin. This is the Suzuki exhaust tuning alpha, or SET-A.

Do not be afraid - this engine, its flat 180 degree crankshaft (not used in motorcycle crank 90 degrees), it will still be in the famous and feared GSX-R screaming. Other interesting details combustion engine piston top is mainly implemented in a smooth organic shape of the connecting rod and the pressure of studies from a computer, and F1-style small exhaust valve, so that more space inlet.

Since this is a formal "concept," Suzuki does not have any description in addition to the published text of this point, there is no specification as yet bore and stroke, among others.
Provide a full range of electronic products;

  1. Take the wire
  2. 10 traction control system, adjustable while riding
  3. The engine power delivery three selectable modes (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector - S-DMS)
  4. Electronic ABS
  5. Start Control
  6. as the uplink and downshift fast switching system to achieve (by kickdown blipper).

Note Suzuki motorcycle racing back to the early success of the Mavericks rider ViƱales is the second fastest in recent Michelin tire testing, the final of the season after Valencia occur. Such participation motorsport innovation lies in the heart of advanced motorcycle.

There is a new dual-beam aluminum chassis equipped with the latest Showa suspension. "Balance FREE" damping concept Showa will delete all damper piston valves, placing it at a convenient location. Damping movement of the piston in the oil, it is no other work. The fork and rear suspension systems are nitrogen charged. Although we do not know the weight of the bicycle, the stated objectives of the project is to make this the lightest GSX-R1000 forever.

The new Gixxer body is round, and darts from point to break the current orthodoxy. It seems to work, you will not see the point in MotoGP racing or darts.

Instrument as a "glass cockpit" - all relevant information on the big screen - traditional and electronic appear. As the press release says, "Find system (screen), adjust its settings, ride."
Lighting all use LED, including compact headlamps.

I am encouraged by this new version of the model, because it shows that life back to the motorcycle market. Suzuki, its identity to such a large extent depend on their decades-long tradition of GSX-R, we can not stand by and let the big sports car market to Yamaha, Kawasaki!

Remember that driving performance is equally desirable sports motorcycle riders and enthusiasts. Driving performance is the center of a new concept of Suzuki GSX-R1000. I would like to see this bike released as the 2017 model.
