EICMA 2026: 2027 Suzuki GSX-10R unveiled, a 1,000 cc-class sportbike with 152 hp

Suzuki unveiled the GSX-10R at EICMA 2026, a new sportbike that combines track performance with everyday practicality.

Despite the “R” in its name, the model shares many components with the GSX-S1000 family, while adopting aggressive riding ergonomics similar to the GSX-R1000R.

Its design retains traditional GSX-R styling elements, paired with a smaller central headlight.

According to Suzuki, the front fairing underwent repeated wind tunnel testing to create a protective pocket of air around the rider’s helmet when tucked in.

A pair of short winglets focuses more on managing airflow than generating downforce.

Specifications

The Suzuki GSX-10R uses an updated version of the K5 engine found in the GSX-S1000GT, GSX-S1000GX and Katana.

The engine produces 152 hp at 11,000 rpm and approximately 114 Nm of torque at 9,250 rpm.

Suzuki has updated the engine with revised cam profiles, new camshafts, a cam chain sprocket, a cylinder head, engine cases and crankshaft journals.

According to Suzuki, these changes aim to balance performance and reliability while preparing the engine for alcohol-based fuels in the future.

It also features a slipper clutch and a four-into-one exhaust system, with a smaller silencer than the GSX-R1000R.

The chassis is similar to those used by the GSX-S and Katana models, but features a new subframe to accommodate a sportier riding position.

The suspension setup comprises a 43 mm KYB front fork and a newly designed rear shock absorber, both fully adjustable.

Front braking is handled by twin 310 mm discs and Brembo radial monoblock calipers.

Other features include:

  • A TFT display
  • 18-litre fuel tank
  • A seat height of 810 mm
  • Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres
  • A bidirectional quickshifter
  • Suzuki Ground Beacon System

The Suzuki GSX-10R also features IMU-based electronic rider aids through its Smart Traction, Lift, Roll Torque and Slide Control (SMART TLRS) package.

Other electronic equipment includes three power maps, lean-sensitive ABS, engine braking control, launch control and cruise control.

A Brake Hold system maintains rear brake pressure for 30 seconds after the motorcycle comes to a stop.

Brake Hold disengages when the rider opens the throttle or quickly squeezes the front brake lever twice.

The GSX-10R is offered in three colour combinations:

  • Pearl Vigor Blue / Metallic Mystic Silver
  • Pearl Pulse Red / Solid Iron Grey
  • Glass Sparkle Black / Metallic Galaxy Grey

Suzuki unveils e Sky EV with 310 km range, Europe launch set for 2027

Following the debut of the BYD Racco, Japan’s electric kei car segment continues to grow with the arrival of a new contender, the Suzuki e Sky.

The e Sky is the production version that retains most of the design elements seen on the Vision e‑Sky concept.

Suzuki will begin selling the e Sky in Japan this autumn, and interestingly, the model is also slated for launch in Europe and the UK in 2027.

Specifications

According to Suzuki, the e Sky was developed to help owners transition from ICE vehicles to EVs. As such, its dimensions closely follow current kei car requirements.

The e Sky measures 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width, 1,625 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,460 mm.

Built on the Heartect e platform, the e Sky uses a front e‑Axle that integrates the motor, inverter and gearbox. Official output figures have yet to be announced.

Battery & Charging

This electric kei car is equipped with a 26 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, delivering a driving range of up to 310 km.

This impressive figure is partly due to its lightweight construction, with the e Sky tipping the scales at just 1,030 kg.

For comparison, the BYD Racco with a larger 35.84 kWh battery offers only a 10 km advantage over the e Sky.

Using a standard household outlet, a full charge takes eight hours, or 4.5 hours with a 6 kW wallbox. DC fast charging at 50 kW brings the battery from low to 80% in just 25 minutes.

The e Sky also supports Vehicle‑to‑Home (V2H) and Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) functions via a 100v/1500W AC outlet.

Equipment

The exterior design of the e Sky remains close to the Vision e‑Sky concept. For production, it receives larger LED headlamp housings, conventional side mirrors, a simplified grille, smaller wheels and traditional door handles.

The bumper features a single cooling air intake, while the rear incorporates a floating‑roof design, larger LED taillights and body‑coloured bumper cladding.

Inside, the cabin is equipped with a 10.1‑inch infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, a traditional gear selector and a dedicated climate control panel.

Other features include a practical passenger‑side dashboard tray, heated seats and steering wheel, and an electric heater that particularly useful during Japan’s winter season.

Rivals

Beyond the BYD Racco, the Suzuki e Sky will compete against other electric kei cars such as the Honda N‑One e:, Mitsubishi eK X EV and Nissan Sakura EV.

Elevate your Suzuki Jimny with a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series style body kit

The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series is one of the enduring vehicles from the 1980s that continues to be produced today.

The reason is simple: even in its standard specifications, it is tough and capable of conquering any terrain.

While there are not many places left on Earth that still offer the Land Cruiser 70 Series, if you are looking for something similar, this is your answer.

The 70YO.70 body kit, developed by Japanese experts Jimmy Land in collaboration with tuning garage Ill, brings a mini version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series.

 

A Mini Version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series

Unlike the typical body kits seen for the Jimny, this modification styled after the 70 Series is much more comprehensive, particularly at the front.

Some notable changes include:

  • A thicker hood structure
  • A 70YO.70 badge that resembles TOYOTA from a distance
  • Round LED headlights
  • Turn signal lights
  • A distinctive grille

 

Additionally, several extra touches have been added to this Jimny to enhance the Land Cruiser 70 Series image, such as:

  • Side air vents
  • Faux grille at the rear
  • Decorative AdBlue cover (even though the Jimny actually still uses a petrol engine!)

Based on the provided images, this body kit also appears to be well-suited for the five-door version of the Jimny.

 

Extra Accessories

In addition to the features mentioned above, Jimny owners can pair the 70YO.70 body kit with off-road accessories.

These options include snorkels, alloy rims fitted with all-terrain tires, and an upgraded suspension system for increased height.

 

Engine Specifications Remain Standard

Despite the Land Cruiser 70 Series styling changes, the Jimny retains its standard 1.5L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, producing 101 hp.

It definitely lacks the power of the Land Cruiser with its 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine.

Power is transmitted to all wheels through either a manual or automatic transmission, both compatible with a 4WD system.

 

Ready-Made Versions Priced at RM106,000

It has been reported that a few ready-made units have already begun to sell in the Japanese market, available in Sand Beige, White, and Black colors.

The retail price for this particular Beige Jimny is listed at ¥4,250,000 (about RM106,154).

He stated that more than 80 percent of accident cases involve motorcyclists, with nearly 50 percent of these cases consisting of individuals aged 16-25.

Datuk Jazmanie emphasized that despite various initiatives implemented by the government, the aspects of awareness and individual responsibility remain the most crucial factors.

This aligns with this year’s theme: “Safety Begins With Us.”

According to Ahmad Faez, it is the responsibility of Suzuki Malaysia as a manufacturer, assembler, and distributor to ensure that every product prioritizes safety.

He further explained that each Suzuki, AFAZ, and Moda product under the AMI Group is now equipped with brighter LED lighting systems to enhance visibility and reduce accident risks.

This commitment is the foundation of the campaign, which offers free 16-point safety inspections to the public.

 

Distribution of 200 Helmets and Safety Jackets

With the support of AEON Credit Malaysia and Tokio Marine Insurance, nearly 200 helmets and 200 safety jackets have been distributed to participants who have undergone motorcycle safety inspections.

2026 Suzuki GSX-R1000R M6: celebrating the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R legacy

Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced significant changes to the GSX-R1000R model in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the iconic GSX-R series.

Since the introduction of the first-generation GSX-R750 in 1985, the series has surpassed a production total of 1.2 million units.

It has also garnered numerous championship titles in the FIM Endurance World Championship, Superbike World Championship, and the All-Japan Road Race Championship.

What’s new in the latest GSX-R1000R?

 

1. Engine

The Suzuki GSX-R1000R retains the same 999 cc inline four-cylinder engine found in previous models. However, several internal components have been upgraded, including the cylinder head, fuel injection unit, camshaft, valves, pistons, and crankshaft.

These enhancements have been made to ensure the engine complies with the stricter Euro5+ emissions and noise standards. Despite these constraints, the GSX-R1000R can still deliver a power output of 195 PS at 13,200 rpm and torque of 110 Nm at 11,000 rpm.

 

2. Chassis

The motorcycle continues to feature a lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum frame. However, it now comes equipped with carbon fiber winglets, similar to those used on the Team Suzuki CN Challenge race bike at the 2024 Suzuka 8 Hour Race.

These components are designed to generate downforce to prevent the front wheel from lifting when exiting corners, ensuring smoother acceleration.

 

3. Electronic Systems

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) includes several functions, such as:

  • Motion Track Traction Control
  • Anti-lift Control (for the front wheel)
  • Roll Torque Control
  • Launch Control

These features are intended to ensure smoother and more controlled acceleration.

Additionally, the motorcycle includes a two-way quick shifter and the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) for riding mode selection.

 

4. 40th Anniversary Color Schemes

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R series, three color schemes are available:

  • Pearl Vigor Blue/Pearl Tech White
  • Candy Daring Red/Pearl Tech White
  • Pearl Ignite Yellow/Metallic Mat Stellar Blue

Graphics featuring the 40th anniversary logo will be displayed on the side panels and fuel tank, while the GSX-R logo is featured on the seat and exhaust muffler.

Suzuki launches two neo-retro bikes: GSX-8T and GSX-8TT

Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced the arrival of two new neo-retro motorcycle models in the 800 cc class, namely the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT, for the global market.

Although both models utilize the more modern GSX-8 platform, they can be distinguished through their styling, where the GSX-8T draws inspiration from the classic T500 motorcycle.

It features a round LED headlight housing, a uniquely designed fuel tank and seat, as well as handlebars complete with end-mounted mirrors.

Meanwhile, the more muscular design of the GSX-8TT takes its inspiration from machines of that era, such as the Yoshimura GS1000.

The GSX-8TT retains the same headlight housing as the GSX-8T model; however, this section is refined with angular fairings, followed by a radiator guard and an engine under-cowl.

In terms of power, both the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are powered by the same 776 cc parallel-twin engine found in any of the GSX-8 models, delivering 80 hp at 8,500 rpm and 77 Nm of torque at 6,800 rpm.

Additionally, they are equipped with a cross balancer component designed to reduce vibrations.

Both motorcycles feature a steel frame and an aluminum swingarm, KYB upside-down front forks, KYB rear shock absorbers, and a Nissin braking system consisting of dual 310 mm rotors at the front and a single 240 mm rotor at the rear.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 16.5 liters, while the seat height is as low as 810 mm (815 mm for the GSX-8T model).

As standard, the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT come equipped with electronic aids such as a bidirectional quickshifter, Suzuki Easy Start, traction control, Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), and Low RPM Assist.

The full-color TFT display shows all the important information required by the rider, including the RPM meter, speed, and gear position.
