Suzuki unveils all-new GSX-8T, GSX-8TT

MANILA: Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled its two latest motorcycle offerings in the global market.

In a statement, the all-new Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT combine the “unique and attractive elements of Suzuki's past iconic models with modern design, incorporating the latest technology, engines, and chassis.”

Motorcycle specifications

Here are the European specifications of the all-new Suzuki GSX-8T and All-New GSX-8TT.

Both models have the following measurements:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height; in millimeters [mm>)	2,115 x 775 x 1,105
Wheelbase (in mm)	1,465
Ground clearance (in mm)	145
Seat height (mm)	T: 815 / TT:810
Curb Weight (in kilograms)	T: 201 / TT:203

According to the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, the two new products carry round headlights inspired by the flat-bottom light commonly seen in Suzuki’s past models, and the brand’s first handlebar-end mirrors that gave them a neo-retro look.

Reminiscent to the T500, a high-performance naked motorcycle from the 1960s, the all-new Suzuki GSX-8T boasts a color scheme that emphasizes the tank by wearing a matte black on the body’s rear portion and a three-dimensional emblem on the shroud inspired by the eight ball.

On the other hand, the all-new Suzuki GSX-8TT is outfitted with a headlight cowl that is similarly-looking to the brand’s past models to match its under cowl, inspired by 1970s road racers. Its body includes black front forks and shrouds, gray seat rails, and sporty wheels and decal accents. Suzuki shared that "TT" in the name denotes the merging of the base model GSX-8T with "Timeless" — signifying the revival of classic motorcycles in a modern context.

Two offerings sit on cast wheels wrapped in 120/70ZR17M/C tires at the front and 180/55ZR17M/C for the rear.

Powering both models are the 776-cubic centimeter, liquid-cooled, four-cycle parallel, two-cylinder double overhead cam engine mated to a six-speed constant mesh transmission. This powertrain is said to have an average fuel consumption of 23.8 kilometers per liter (based on World Motorcycle Test Cycle standards).

Further, fumes come out from their two-into-one exhaust system that is equipped with a dual-stage catalytic converter inside the collector that helps meet Euro 5 emissions standards. Based on tests, the setup helps the motorcycles emit as little as 99 grams per kilometer.

The latest offerings also come with a host of numerous technologies that come in the form of electronic control systems to assist riders (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector [SDMS>), ride by wire, and bi-directional quick-shift system, and a lightweight, compact lithium-ion battery that keeps high startability even in low temperatures.

Below are the all-new Suzuki GSX-8T and all-new GSX-8TT:

SIRS	Ride By Wire
	SDMS	Able to choose from three different power outputs
	Traction Control Three modes + Off function)	Restricts power when wheel spin is detected
	Bi-Directional Quick Shift System	Allows shift up/down without clutch and throttle operation
	Suzuki Easy Start System	Can start engine with one quick press of the button
	Low RPM Assist	Aids smooth launch from standing start
