ANTI-LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM

Suzuki has successfully developed an advanced system that maximizes acceleration performance while preventing the front wheel from lifting off the ground. The system offers a choice of 10-mode settings when turned on, with Mode 1 providing minimal control and Mode 10 making it virtually impossible to lift the front wheel, even when fully opening the throttle with a passenger on the back.

ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

This system cancels out the effect of engine braking to suppress rear tire sliding or skipping and provides smoother, more controllable behaviour. A choice of three modes plus an OFF setting lets you control the effective strength of engine braking to match riding conditions or your preference.

MOTION TRACK TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

This takes traction control to a level by employing data from the IMU to constantly monitor the amount of lean angle and effectively limit slip in corners as well as on straightaways. It provides greater stability at all times, enabling confident control in varying riding conditions while reducing stress and fatigue. The system offers a choice of 10-mode settings, and it can be turned off when preferred. The higher number the mode, the faster traction control is engaged and the more proactive the system is in limiting wheel spin.

Note: The Motion Track Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.

POISED FOR ACTION

The robust collection of advanced electronic control systems that comprise the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) extend well beyond those of SDMS-α. Each is designed to add convenience, build rider confidence or optimize performance characteristics to match the needs of the moment and make the Hayabusa more controllable and predictable. These systems create a stronger sense of communicating directly with the bike’s heart and brain as you explore the potential of the Ultimate Sport Bike.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) LAUNCH CONTROL

Turn the throttle and experience an efficient launch and acceleration in similar fashion to the way racers leave the starting line. A selection of three mode settings lets you match the engine speed at launch to your level of experience or confidence. Mode 1 limits engine speed on launch to 4,000 rpm, Mode 2 operates at 6,000 rpm, and Mode 3 — the fastest mode — operates at 8,000 rpm

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM

Cruise Control reduces fatigue on long rides by allowing you to maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. The speed can be easily adjusted upward or downward using the mode/set switch on the left handlebar and set from 31km/h to 200km/h while riding at 2,000 to 7,000 rpm in second gear or higher. The handy resume function re-engages the system and accelerates to the most recent speed setting after braking.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) MOTION TRACK BRAKE SYSTEM

The system combines vehicle posture data from the IMU with front and rear wheel speed sensor data to allow ABS activation not only in a straight line but also when leaning into a corner. The bike is therefore less likely to try to push itself upright or lose traction, instead maintaining its radius and lean angle to better trace your intended line through the corner. Note: ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. Please always ride at a safe speed for road and weather conditions, including while cornering.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) ACTIVE SPEED LIMITER

A first in the motorcycle industry, this system lets you set a speed you do not wish to exceed and then accelerate and decelerate as you please up to that speed. This helps lessen worries about the bike exceeding your chosen speed limit.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) SLOPE DEPENDENT CONTROL SYSTEM

Monitors the motorcycle’s posture and angle to help prevent rear wheel lift by using the ABS to control brake pressure and compensate when applying the brakes while traveling downhill.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) HILL HOLD CONTROL SYSTEM

Hill Hold Control is designed to automatically engage the rear brake for 30 seconds after coming to a stop while facing uphill on an incline, even when you release the brake lever or pedal. This helps ensure a smoother restart free of worries that the bike will roll backward. The system is disengaged either by quickly squeezing the front brake lever twice, or by accelerating to pull away from a standing start.

BREMBO STYLEMA® FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS

The Hayabusa adopts Brembo’s latest Stylema® front brake calipers. Featuring a lighter, more compact and carefully sculpted design intended for use on high-performance motorcycles, these calipers increase airflow around the brake pads to cool more quickly and deliver immediate response. These are paired with front discs with a diameter increased from 310mm to 320mm and featuring a hole pattern that further helps optimize cooling efficiency.

EXCLUSIVELY DESIGNED BRIDGESTONE TIRES

Suzuki worked closely with Bridgestone for years in developing the BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22 tires especially to meet the true needs of the Hayabusa. The tires boast improved dry grip, performance in wet conditions, greater all-round traction and agility while retaining a high level of durability. Featuring a compound and construction, the marked difference these tires demonstrate in straight-line stability and cornering grip offers every rider a more exciting and confidence-building experience. The tires are mounted on 7-spoke wheels that not only look exceptional, but also help improve grip feel.

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF POWER AND POISE

Superior core strength

The Hayabusa’s chassis is designed to empower you with sure footing, nimble handling and predictable control that combine to build confidence and enhance the riding experience. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride that absorbs irregularities in the road surface and responds faithfully to your will. It effectively transfers the abundant power of its legendary powerplant to the pavement while fully leveraging its onboard intelligent control systems to run and brake effectively, whether barrelling down a straight section of road or leaning through corners.

At the core of this outstanding chassis is the Hayabusa’s tried-and-true twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm. Though Suzuki built and track-tested a number of different prototype frames during the development phase, the proven combination of extruded aluminum sections and aluminum castings continues to lend the right amount of suppleness and strength to the overall rigid alloy frame structure. While more costly and demanding to fabricate, extruded aluminum sections pay off in achieving the overall balance required by a machine that delivers ultimate performance and reaches a nominal top speed of 299km/h. This is why extruded aluminum frame members can also be found on a number of supercars.

OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION

KYB inverted cartridge forks provide 120mm of front wheel travel and feature diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the 43mm outer diameter inner fork tubes to reduce friction and improve reaction to small irregularities in the road surface. Spring preload, compression damping and rebound damping are all fully adjustable. The internal structure has been upgraded to better absorb the road surface and ensure an even smoother, more stable ride with optimum grip. The internal structure of the fully adjustable KYB link-type rear suspension was also revised to maximize comfort and straight-line stability. Additionally, settings for both the front and rear suspension are optimized to achieve a stable ride with neutral feel at all speeds.

SRAD - Suzuki Ram Air System

The Suzuki Ram Air-Direct (SRAD) air intakes are positioned close to the centreline of the fairing nose – the position offering optimum intake efficiency. This results in better intake efficiency, increasing engine power in high speed. * The technology is used in GSX-R1000, 750, 600 and Hayabusa.

SCAS - Suzuki Clutch Assist System

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) - a back-torque-limiting clutch helps make downshifts smoother, assists the rider in taking control in deceleration. Ramped engagement cams built into the clutch hub decrease force on the clutch plates under deceleration by pushing up against the pressure plate, allowing the plates to slip at a controlled rate.

SDMS - Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2 maps in the case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. Selecting and switching between mode settings is by a switch on the handlebar; the selected mode setting is displayed on the tachometer. The feature helps the rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations. * The technology is used in GSX-R1000, 750, 600, DL1050 and Hayabusa.

SET - Suzuki Exhaust Tuning

Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system, which uses a servo-controlled butterfly valve to modify back pressure and tune the pipe to match engine rpm. At lower rpm, the valve closes, increasing back pressure and improving low-end torque. The valve progressively opens as engine speed increases, reducing back pressure and increasing mid-range and high-rpm power.

ABS - Anti-Lock Braking System

An electrically controlled Antilock Brake System (ABS) that produces stable braking force under various road surface conditions. The system helps avoid wheel locking when there is a sudden change in road surface during braking or when an excessive braking force is applied. The system monitors wheel speed 50 times per wheel rotation and matches stopping power to available traction. * Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
