2018 Suzuki SV650X

For 2018, Suzuki introduces a new version of an iconic motorcycle that embodies the sporty personality that only a lively, mid-sized V-twin roadster can deliver. The new SV650X ABS has a polished power plant that provides increased performance with low emissions and outstanding fuel economy, mated to refined trim and lightweight chassis that delivers a sporty, exciting ride. Like its predecessors, the 2018 SV650X ABS promises to have the sparkling performance, retro style and value that a broad range of riders will enjoy.

• Liquid cooled, 645cc, 4-stroke, DOHC, V-twin engine delivers increased performance.

• Refined EFI system with Low RPM Assist makes take offs smooth and pleasant.

• Trellis-style frame constructed of high-strength steel tubes contributes to the motorcycle’s lower weight and trim chassis.

• 645cc DOHC 90°V-twin engine has been refined with more than 60 new parts to produce increased horsepower while conforming the latest emission requirements.

• The energy efficient engine has new pistons that were engineered with use of FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis to achieve optimal rigidity and weight.

• Each piston skirt has a special resin coating, and the other sliding part are tinned for less friction and greater durability – a first for a Suzuki motorcycle.

• Dozens of new parts create a compact, lightweight chassis with slim bodywork that’s agile and fun to ride on a variety of streets – such as city traffic, highway, rural roads and winding roads.

• The ready-to-ride weight of the NEW SV650X ABS is less than the 2015 SFV650 ABS.

• The high-strength steel, trellis-style frame is key to the motorcycle’s trim and intelligent dimensions.
