Suzuki reveals SV-7GX at Eicma
Suzuki has revealed a new SV-7GX, today at Eicma in Milan, Italy! Suzuki also pulled the covers off an updated GSX-S1000GX.
The SV-7GX uses an updated version of Suzuki’s proven – and somewhat legendary – 645cc V-twin engine. This is now fully-compliant with the latest Euro5+ emissions regulations. Peak power is 73PS and peak torque is 64Nm. Aiding efficiency and performance is a new magneto, transmission gears, airbox, a ride-by-wire throttle, and a new exhaust system.
As the GX suffix suggests, the SV-7GX will provide a middleweight sports crossover option in the Suzuki lineup. It will stand alongside the range-topping GSX-S1000GX.
The steel trellis frame features KYB suspension that delivers a plush ride and makes it easy to cover long distances comfortably on the 7GX. The seat height remains accessible for a multitude of riders at 795mm. New 17” cast aluminium wheels, paired with Pirelli Angel GT 2 tyres, give the 7GX improved grip and style.They work with the chassis to provide the sport element to the new sports crossover. Tokico calipers and twin 290mm discs provide the stopping power.
Tall, wide, tapered aluminium ‘bars provide an upright and comfortable riding position. They place weight over the front tyre enough to generate feel. Allowing riders to enjoy the sporty side of the 7GX when away from the motorway or dual carriageways. Handguards come as standard.
On the electronics side, smartphone connectivity comes as standard. It allows riders to access everything from maps to contacts and messages. Riders control this using intuitive switchgear on the left handlebar, while a colour TFT screen displays all information, including the selected throttle map. There are three throttle maps to choose from, as well as the chosen traction control setting, also with three to choose from, as well as off. There’s a USB-C charging port on the left-hand side.
The electronics package also includes a standard-fit bi-directional quickshifter for seamless up and down gear changes.
Wind-tunnel tested bodywork shields the rider from the worst of the elements. This provides aerodynamic efficiency, with styling cues taken from the bigger GSX-S1000GX. There’s a 17.4-litre fuel tank. Lighting is full LED all round, with a new asaerial design at the front. Improving illumination and visibility while cornering.
An accessories catalogue includes a 45-litre top box, soft panniers, tank bags, and heated grips.
Pricing for the SV-7GX will be announced in due course, with the arrival set for late summer, 2026.
Suzuki has also announced updates to the GSX-S1000GX.
The ultimate sports crossover model – which was revealed at Eicma only two years ago – has received a round of subtle updates. These further improve its performance as a motorcycle adept at both covering long distances in speed and comfort. It also offers up sporting intentions when the rider wants to enjoy a more twisty, winding route.
A suite of changes includes the addition of new winglets to the GX’s fairing. These improve downforce and enhance stability at high speeds. Modifications to the mirror mountings reduce vibrations for clearer rearward visibility.
The GSX-S1000GX puts out 152PS and 106Nm of torque from its 999cc inline four-cylinder engine. A twin-spar aluminium frame and GSX-R-derived swingarm is suspended by semi-active electronic suspension from Showa.
A colour TFT screen shows selected modes of a plethora of rider aids. These include seven IMU-governed traction control settings, and the ability to disengage entirely. Those traction control settings are also linked to Suzuki’s roll torque control system and an anti-wheelie system. Lean-angle sensitive ABS, a bi-directional quickshifter, and cruise control also come as standard, along with smartphone connectivity.
In the UK the GSX-S1000GX will be available solely as a GX+ variant. This means it will come with free 36-litre panniers as standard.
It will arrive in early 2026 with an OTR price of £14,999.
Suzuki also confirmed that the e-Address, first revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi in January this year, will form part of its European model range in 2026. More information will be released in due course.
