2024 Suzuki GSX-R600: DECADES OF ROADRACING DOMINANCE.

Introducing the 2024 Suzuki GSX-R600…

Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750 in 1985, and later expanded the GSX-R lineage with the addition of the GSX-R600. The 2024 GSX-R600 embodies Suzuki’s tradition of blending race-winning capability with impeccable street manners.

The GSX-R600’s compact, powerful, four-cylinder engine promptly reacts when you twist the throttle, while its supremely refined suspension and brakes provide precise, responsive handling. The superb ergonomics boosts control and comfort while the iconic GSX-R bodywork looks great under any of the three available paint schemes.

The GSX-R600’s race-ready look is not manufactured; it is the true byproduct of decades of production roadracing dominance that continues to this day. For a rider considering a mid-size Supersport bike that is at home on the track or the street, there is only one choice: the Suzuki GSX-R600.

THE TOP PERFORMER IN ITS CLASS
The Suzuki GSX-R600 has a history of dominating the AMA Pro Road Racing series– including the Daytona Sportbike, Supersport West, and Supersport East. This solidified the GSX-R600 as part of a race-winning line of motorcycles from coast to coast. The GSX-R600 has been developed with: an advanced race-proven 599cc, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine; a responsive, agile, and lightweight chassis; compact wheelbase; and race-developed suspension. In short, the GSX-R600 has once again proven to be the winning combination to Own The Racetrack.

Three eye-catching paint schemes are available for the 2024 GSX-R600; Pearl Brilliant White / Metallic Matte Stellar Blue, or Pearl Brilliant White / Metallic Triton Blue schemes join the popular Metallic Matte Black No. 2 / Glass Sparkle Black paint combination.

The GSX-R600’s compact, fuel-injected, 599cc, four-cylinder engine delivers a rush of power from idle to redline. Located between the frame’s spars, the engine’s top end is canted forward to improve cylinder head charging for increased power output.

The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets the rider adjust the engine’s power delivery to suit the riding conditions.

The twin-spar aluminum frame effectively connects the steering head with the swingarm pivot portion of the chassis in a way that balances light weight and strength. The engine is suspended below the frame to keep mass low and the wheelbase short to promote nimble handling.

The Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF) and remote reservoir rear shock absorber are fully adjustable to deliver exceptional handling.

Twin Brembo Monobloc, radially mounted front brake calipers grasp fully floating stainless steel brake rotors to deliver strong stopping power.

CAREFULLY SCULPTED BODYWORK
Highlights include the powerful lines of the chiseled fuel tank, vented front fender, light rear fender, molded mirrors, and angular tail section with integrated LED taillight, clear turn signals, and clean layout of all wiring and hoses. The thin seat is shaped for sport riding, and also to helps make it easier to firmly plant your feet on ground and combines with the handlebars and footpegs to ensure a comfortable riding position.

STYLING
Race-ready, iconic GSX-R styling provides sharp looks and a slippery shape with deep, rich paint with monochromatic graphics and color-matched cast aluminum wheels.

RIDING POSITION
Three-way adjustable foot pegs, adjustable shift lever and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position that permits the rider movement required for performance riding.

A LIGHTER, MORE COMPACT CHASSIS
The GSX-R600 model features completely chassis designs, each based on a more compact, lighter twin-spar aluminum frame with a 15 mm shorter wheelbase. The GSX-R600’s wheelbase now measures 1,385 mm.

STRONG STOPPING POWER
Twin Brembo Monobloc, radially-mounted front brake calipers grasp fully floating stainless steel brake rotors to deliver strong stopping power.

ENGINE DESIGN
A compact 599cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven over-square bore/stroke ratio produces remarkably strong high rpm power delivery. The energy-efficient engine employs forged pistons, shot-peened connecting rods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes to reduce frictional and mechanical losses.

STEERING DAMPER
Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.

RACING SUSPENSION
Both the Suzuki GSX-R750 and the Suzuki GSX-R600 come with the revolutionary, race-developed Showa Big Piston Front-fork (BPF) inverted front suspension system. Conventional inverted front forks use a cartridge assembly that fits inside the fork leg on each side and typically incorporates a 20 mm piston to control damping.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
Four-into-one stainless steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler is fitted with a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve that maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range.

OPTIONAL FEATURE
Optional single seat cowl can replace the passenger seat for an even more aggressive look or for use on solo rides or track days.

SUZUKI EMBLEMS
Stylized Suzuki “S” 3-D emblems on the fuel tank and the fork upper bracket denotes the quality, sophistication, and performance legacy of the brand.

ENGINE FEATURES
A compact 599cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven over-square bore/stroke ratio produces remarkably strong high rpm power delivery.

The energy-efficient engine employs forged pistons, shot-peened connecting rods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes to reduce frictional and mechanical losses.

Camshafts with aggressive valve-lift profiles were developed using proven MotoGP racing engine technology – the first time this method was applied to a production Suzuki.

Lightweight titanium alloy valves are controlled by single-coil valve springs to reduce valve train mass, reducing mechanical losses at high rpm.

Lightweight and durable forged pistons were designed using the same Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used for MotoGP racing engines.

Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection uses eight fine-spray eight-hole injectors for improved fuel atomization, which contributes to more complete combustion.

An Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has enhanced settings to suit the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.
