All-New GSX-8TT
Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled the all-new GSX-8T and all-new GSX-8TT street bike on July 4. Sales will begin in the summer of 2025 globally, primarily in Europe and North America.
The all-new "GSX-8T" and all-new "GSX-8TT" are neo-retro street bikes that combine the unique and attractive elements of Suzuki's past iconic models with modern design, incorporating the latest technology, engines, and chassis. They feature a round headlight inspired by the characteristic flat-bottom light that was commonly used in Suzuki’s past models, and Suzuki's first handlebar-end mirrors, achieving a modern look while evoking a sense of retro. Meanwhile, we have heightened agility and comfort by combining the compact 776cm3 engine, which are highly acclaimed in the GSX-8S/R, and a high-rigidity steel frame, with a lightweight aluminum swingarm.
The bikes are equipped with electronic control systems to assist riders, such as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ride by wire, and bi-directional quick-shift system, as well as a lithium-ion battery made by ELIIY Power, which is lightweight, compact, highly reliable, and maintains high startability even in low temperatures, allowing a wide range of users to enjoy sports riding with peace of mind.
All-New GSX-8T
The all-new GSX-8T is designed to evoke the T500, known as the Titan, a high-performance naked bike from the 1960s. It features a color scheme that highlights the tank by making the rear of the body matte black, and a 3D-raised emblem on the shroud inspired by the eight ball, which symbolizes a decisive move in billiards, resulting in a design that is both retro and modern.
All-New GSX-8TT
The all-new GSX-8TT features a headlight cowl reminiscent of past models, and an under cowl, design inspired by 1970s road racers. The body color includes black front forks and shrouds, and gray seat rails, creating a premium and calm color scheme that highlights the sporty accents of the wheels and decals. The "TT" in the name stands for a combination of the base model GSX-8T with "Timeless", signifying the revival of classic bikes in a modern context.
