Presenting the newest member of the SV family, the SV650X. It comes with the latest Suzuki innovations and will set the bar even higher for V-Twin fun and performance with added café racer flare
RIDING PLEASURE UNLEASHED
With its smooth revving V-Twin engine tucked into a slim and lightweight trellis frame, the SV650X combines power and agility with classic café racer looks.
DUAL SPARK 90°V-TWIN
The V-Twin engine is a marvel of engineering with superb versatility. While at lower RPM, this engine delivers powerful torque that’s easy to handle and a deep robust sound. Open the throttle to mid-range, and the power of the engine’s response is linear and smooth, yet always under your control. Then at higher RPM, the V-Twin has performance ready to go
Suzuki East Start System
The Suzuki Easy Start System engages the starter motor at a precisely timed pre-set interval to start the motorcycle with just a push of a button. A computerised 32-bit ECM checks the status and disengages the starter motor immediately after start
Low RPM Assist
The SV650X comes with Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist function that utilises the Idle Speed Control (ISC) to help boost engine rpm in launching operation or running at low speed. This new feature helps suppress engine stalls when running at slow speeds, resulting in better start control and operation especially in stop-and-go traffic
CLIP ON HANDLEBARS
The SV650X is equipped with clip on handlebars compared to the standard straight bars on the standard SV650. These clip on bars encourage a sporty riding position, and hark back to the days of the original café racers
Tuck and roll seat
The SV650X features a different seat design, the narrow, streamlined seat exudes retro looks and feel. The seat has soft cushioning, helping reduce rider fatigue, even in a sporty riding position. 2020 model shown
Lightweight Chassis
With a remarkable ready to ride weight of only 198 kg, the SV650X makes manoeuvring and handling easy and pleasurable. The SV650X makes good use of its light weight with responsive acceleration, nimble handling and absolute confidence in manoeuvring. Riders of all levels can take to the city or winding roads and experience unrestricted fun. 2020 model shown
Slim Body
The SV650X’s streamlined profile is the result of ergonomically shaped side panels and optimised seat design, which let you straddle the motorcycle with your feet on the ground if stopped or for easy changes of position while flowing through corners. The narrow, streamlined seat is 790 mm in height and is designed almost flat from front to rear, yet gives riders a high degree of grip in the upright position. Despite its ample 14.5 litre capacity, the fuel tank is slim and sports an ergonomic form for maximum rider comfort
Suspension
The front suspension system employs durable 41 mm telescopic right way upfront forks with 125 mm travel and are adjustable for pre-load. While the rear features link-type suspension with a stroke of 63 mm and is pre-load adjustable to one of 7 pre-defined settings. Together, the SV650X’s suspension system ensures consistent ride-ability and sporty handling performance
Wheels and Tyres
The five-spoke cast aluminium wheels create a sporty look. For an excellent balance of cornering performance and straight line speed stability, the SV650X uses 120/70ZR17M/C tyres for the front and 160/60ZR17M/C for the rear
Brakes and ABS
The SV650X’S stopping performance comes courtesy of large 290 mm dual front disc brakes and a 240 mm rear brake disc provide incredible performance and control. For 2019 the SV650X comes with improved stopping power, thanks to an upgrade to new four-piston front brake calipers
Advanced Rider Technology
The SV650X is equipped with some of the most advanced rider technology available, including Low RPM Assist and Suzuki Easy Start System.
