2018 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Heavy Bike Review

The Suzuki brand always won the heart of its customers with its quality bikes that offer impressive styling. The 2018 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Heavy Bike is one of the most demanding sports in the entire lineup. Its chassis is one of the lightest and most compact frames which is mainly optimized for best aerodynamics and outstanding handling.

It is cradled in an aluminum frame and has an advanced engine that uses an all-new exclusive Variable Valve Timing system and Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies. The electronics package is working just fine, giving the maximum controls over the hands of riders. Monobloc calipers grasp the new upfront and unique BREMBO T-drive brake rotor. They are connected to the exclusive Suzuki Motion Track Anti-Lock Brake system that offers reliable and controlled braking. The new SHOWA suspension features the sticky Bridgestone RS10 tires in touch with the road. Moreover, the full review of 2018 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki, with its specifications and price, is given below.

2018 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki Powerful Heavy Bike – Features and Price

Electronic Features

The 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000 ABS contains the powerful 32-bit Dual Processor Engine Control Module (ECM) that blends Suzuki’s vast street-going EFI knowledge with the MotoGP program. This sports bike rider will get sportbike performance without peers while simultaneously receiving polished street manners. The Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies are accurately opened by ECM to match the throttle grip rotation of the rider’s hand and the refinement from the IMU-influenced electronics. It results in the stronger engine power delivery from idle to redline.

The latest Motion Track Anti-Lock Braking System has an additional control to Anti-Lock Braking (ABS). However, just like the conventional ABS, the Motion Track Brake System offers an appropriate amount of braking force for the available traction. Whenever IMU detects the rear wheel lifting from extreme braking power, the ABS control module will adjust the front brake pressure to reduce the rear wheel lift.

The GSX-RR MotoGP dash inspired the LCD-Multifunction Instrument Panel. This panel is laid out so that the rider can easily see the;

• Tachometer
• Speedometer digits

And some other essential operational information. This active display is critical as it is the rider’s interface to GSX-R1000 ABS’s advanced electronics. The three modes of the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select the power output levels of the engine to match the riding ability and conditions. An all-new innovative Suzuki Low RPM Assist System smoothly take-offs, and it reduces the chance of the rider stalling the motorcycle.

Engine Features

The Suzuki 2018 GSX-R1000 ABS contains;

• Four-stroke,
• Liquid-cooled,
• DOHC,
• 999.8 cc inline-four cylinder engine.

This engine is designed to perform the best performance, plus it provides durable low-to-mid range power. The new crankshaft retains the Suzuki’s Even Firing Order Engine legacy.

It is one of the shorter engines in the industry that features a bore of 76 mm with a stroke of 55.1 mm. It is narrower than the previous generation, i.e., 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 ABS. Moreover, the engine has been rotated back, and it is positioned in the frame to create an optimal chassis dimensions for accurate handling and to balance the bike’s weight. An exclusive Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing System (SR-VVT) uses the centrifugal actuated mechanism on the intake camshaft sprocket to increase its high engine RPM power without losing low-to mid-range power. The new Suzuki Racing Finger Follower valve train weights less than the tappet-style valve train to achieve reduced friction, plus it increases valve response at higher engine speeds.

The new titanium valves consist up of two intake of 31.5 mm and two exhaust valves of 24 mm. Both of them are used in each cylinder. The lighter valves respond well to the finger follower’s arm, and it permits the 14,500 RPM redline that produces very high peak horsepower. All-New aluminum pistons with a diameter of 76 mm were engineered by using FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis, and they are cast for optimal rigidity and weight. The SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) coated cylinders are integrated into the upper crankcase to reduce friction, plus it improves heat transfer and durability.

The compression ratio of 13.2:1 helps in producing high horsepower. The cylinder head’s shallow combustion chamber minimizes the heat produced during operation. This sports bike has the full support of automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) that improves cold starting, plus it stabilizes the engine idle better than the 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000. There are four primary fuel injectors in the throttle bodies, which are four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI). They spray fuel from the top of the air box directly into the intake funnels. It results in high power and efficient combustion.

Transmission Features

The 2018 GSX-R1000 ABS Suzuki comes with The cassette-style, six-speed transmission that allows the riders to match the gear ratio with the riding condition. The cassette-style transmission can easily be removed from the crankcase as an assembly with the engine still in the frame. Thanks to Suzuki’s race-proven close-ratio transmission, this Suzuki GSX-R1000 ABS contains vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

The first gear ratio is lowered compared to the prior generation GSX-R1000 for stronger acceleration. The shift linkage can easily be set-up for reverse pattern, i.e., GP-style shifting. The new programmable shift light is present on the main panel that offers a visual alert to the rider to shift when the engine reaches a certain RPM. The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) multi-plate, wet clutch is to modulate engine power to the drive train. The SCAS works like a slipper clutch during downshifts, while increasing pressure on the plates during acceleration. It smooths the engine braking and lightens the clutch lever pull. To keep the weight at its minimum level, the bike uses a 525-size drive chain with a 45/17 final sprocket ratio.

Chassis Features

The 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000 features an aluminum twin-spar style frame, which was designed using FEM analysis technology. It makes the overall structure 10% lighter than the previous generations. The spars of a structure are 20 mm closer to help improve aerodynamics, looks and to bring more comfort to the rider. An all-new aluminum superbike-braced swingarm has equalized bracing to the main beams for balanced support and movement to the shock absorber for better handling.

The single SHOWA Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber has been connected with the braced swingarm. The suspension action is delivered by the fully adjustable SHOWA Big Piston Fork (BPF), which is removed for damping force control. It maintains front tire contact with the surface so that the rider gets good sensory feedback while riding at different speeds. BREMBO Radial Mount Brake Calipers give the rider a strong braking performance combined with superb feel. The front brakes of bike are complemented by a 240 mm rear disc brake with Nissin single-piston calipers to help to have controlled stops.

The lightweight six-spoke wheels reduce unsprung mass, plus it has been designed to handle the braking and drive forces that GSX-R1000 ABS have. The wheel rims have attractive pin stripes punctuated by “R” logos that highlight the bike’s identity. The new track-day ready Bridgestone RS10 low mass tires with the new higher 55% profile in the back are premium high-grip radials that provide outstanding handling and stability.
