New Generation Of The Motorcycle Brings 83 Hp Engine, Bidirectional Quickshifter, TFT Display, And Aggressive Design For R$ 51,500
The Suzuki GSX-8S 2025 arrives in Brazil maintaining the bold proposal of the previous generation: to be a complete, modern Naked with plenty of performance for those seeking excitement on the asphalt. With a two-cylinder engine, 800cc, and sharp design, the Japanese motorcycle bets on a robust technical package and a competitive price against its rivals.
Launched globally at the Milan Motorcycle Show and available in Brazil since the end of 2023, the GSX-8S evolves in details for the 2025 model, preserving the mechanical set of 83 horsepower and high torque. The proposal is clear: to offer performance, technology, and style for just over R$ 50,000 — a price that positions it as one of the best options in its category.
Sharp Mechanical Set And Easy-Control Chassis
The Suzuki GSX-8S 2025 is equipped with a 776cc inline twin-cylinder engine, DOHC, with eight valves and a 270º crankshaft. The engine delivers 83 hp of power and 7.45 kgfm of torque, paired with a 6-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch. The set also includes a standard bidirectional quickshifter, electronic throttle, and three riding modes (A, B, and C), controlled by the SDMS system.

The new generation of the Jeep Renegade targets SUV consumers below US$30,000 (R$150,000), a price range for intermediate versions of the T-Cross and Nivus in Brazil. The model was discontinued in the US in 2023, according to MoparInsiders.
With a curb weight of only 202 kg, the motorcycle offers a light and agile ride. The chassis is facilitated by a diamond-type steel frame, aluminum swingarm, and Kayaba suspensions, featuring upside-down forks in the front (130 mm) and a rear monoshock with preload adjustment.
Powerful Brakes And High-Level Electronics
The braking of the GSX-8S is another highlight. At the front, there are two 310 mm discs with four-piston radial calipers from Nissin, while the rear disc measures 240 mm with a single-piston caliper. The system features ABS on both wheels and good pressure balance.
In terms of electronics, the model offers traction control (STCS) with three levels of operation and an option to turn it off, as well as low RPM assist and quick start (Suzuki Easy Start). Everything is managed by a 5″ adjustable digital TFT display (black or white) with a complete onboard computer, including instant consumption, trip 1 and 2, range, clock, and detailed settings.
“Bad Boy” Look, Premium Finish, And Accurate Ergonomics
The design of the Suzuki GSX-8S follows the brand’s aggressive and modern line. The vertical LED headlight with position lights and the short rear enhance its sporty identity. The turn signals are still halogen, which has been criticized by those expecting full LED lighting. The exhaust is positioned on the lower side, and the overall finish combines matte black with polished details.
The motorcycle is available in three color options: black (almost full black), white, and blue. The seat is split with good ergonomics for the rider, although the passenger seat is less comfortable. The 14-liter tank, with 3 liters reserved, ensures good range — consumption varies between 15 to 24 km/l, depending on the riding style.
Equipment, Downsides, And Price
The GSX-8S comes with assist clutch, bidirectional quickshifter, traction control, riding modes, TFT display, ABS brakes, LED lighting (except for turn signals), and electronic throttle. However, it lacks cruise control and USB charging port, items expected in motorcycles with this proposal.
According to the Tabela Fipe, the used model costs around R$ 48,800, while the 0 km version has a suggested retail price of R$ 51,500 + freight on the Suzuki Brazil website. The price may vary depending on the region and dealership.
The Suzuki GSX-8S 2025 is a respectable Naked. Its modern look, vigorous engine, and advanced electronic package make it a solid option for those seeking performance and style for a fair price. Even with some shortcomings, such as cruise control and LED turn signals, the motorcycle delivers a lot for what it charges — especially considering the current market.
