Features - The GSX-S1000GX is Suzuki's first motorcycle with smart suspension called Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES). This system adjusts the suspension to match how fast you're riding, the road condition and how you're using the brakes. It also has a feature called Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS) that senses bumpy roads and uses data from sensors and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to control the suspension even better. Other notable features include Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha, Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System, Bi-Directional Quick Shift System, Smart Cruise Control, Motion Track Brake System, Slope Dependent Control System, Low RPM Assist and Automatic Rear Suspension Modes.
