Suzuki has launched its new bike, the GSX-8R, in India. It comes with a price tag of Rs. 9.25 Lakhs (ex-showroom). This bike shares its engine with another Suzuki bike called the V-Strom 800DE, which was launched earlier. Both bikes have a 776cc engine, but the GSX-8R is tuned to give more power. The engine on the GSX-8R produces 82 horsepower (HP) and 78 Nm of torque. This means it has a lot of strength to go fast but is still easy to handle. The bike also has a 6-speed gearbox and comes with a quickshifter that lets riders change gears up and down easily.
The Suzuki GSX-8R is built to be fast but also good for everyday use.
A Design That Stands Out
The design of the GSX-8R looks sharp and modern. It has a vertical LED headlight in the front, which gives it an aggressive look. The headlight is also designed to help with the bike’s aerodynamics so that it can move smoothly through the air. There are also air intakes on the sides of the light to make the bike look even more sporty.
The bike is packed with modern technology too. It has a ride-by-wire throttle, which means the bike responds faster when the rider twists the handle to go faster. It also has traction control, multiple riding modes, and ABS to make sure the rider stays safe while riding. These features make the bike easier to ride even in tricky situations, like on wet or slippery roads.

Brakes and Suspension Built for Safety
The Suzuki GSX-8R has strong brakes to make sure it can stop quickly when needed. It has two large discs at the front, measuring 310mm, and a single 240mm disc at the back. This helps the bike to stop smoothly and safely.
For suspension, the GSX-8R comes with Showa front forks and a Showa monoshock at the back. Both of these can be adjusted to suit the rider’s preferences. This means the bike will feel comfortable no matter how fast or slow you are going. It also comes with Dunlop RoadSport 2 tires, which are known to be reliable for sport riding and touring.

Competing with Other Big Names
The GSX-8R is not alone in the market. It goes up against other big names like the Kawasaki Ninja 650, Triumph Daytona 660, and Aprilia RS 660. All of these bikes are in the same category, which means they all have about the same amount of power and are designed for the same kinds of riders.
