Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2009

Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2009

 

 

 The vehicle's surprising off-road performance is matched by an equally impressive interior, making the Grand Vitara the perfect choice for adventure-minded drivers seeking to confidently explore the outside world in comfort and style. The ultimate discovery vehicle, the Suzuki Grand Vitara helps customers engage directly with their environment and their experiences.

For 2009, the rugged and award-winning Suzuki Grand Vitara, a true SUV in a segment of "soft-roaders," offers "brute-ute" owners the opportunity to resize for better fuel economy without settling for a "cute-ute" lacking full SUV capability. A standard, all-new four-cylinder engine provides drivers with better mileage, and a new, more powerful V6 delivers fuel economy better than the V6 it replaces.

Performance and Functionality
The new Suzuki-developed 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces 166 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of peak torque, delivering EPA fuel economy estimates of up to 19 mpg/city and 26 mpg/highway. Available for Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport and Luxury models is a new 3.2-liter V6 engine with 230 horsepower and 213 lb.-ft. of torque, replacing the 2.7-liter V6 engine in 2008 Grand Vitara that produced 185 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Despite an increase of 45 horsepower, the new V6 betters the old motor in fuel economy ratings. The new engine is also 20 percent cleaner than the 2008 model as measured by the State of California's smog index rating. The new V6 also features variable valve timing for both the intake and exhaust camshafts, and both Suzuki Grand Vitara engines use a zero-maintenance timing chain in place of a belt.

The Grand Vitara's new four-cylinder engine can be teamed to a standard five-speed manual transmission or a new four-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 is matched to a standard five-speed automatic transmission. To help fulfill their sense of adventure, customers can choose among RWD models, Single-Mode four-wheel drive or Four-Mode full-time four-wheel drive, a traction system unlike anything else offered in the segment. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is standard for all Suzuki Grand Vitara models, along with a new rollover sensor for the standard side curtain airbags. Enhancing performance on any road is a strengthened structure for 2009, plus rear disc brakes that replace the previous drums.

Suzuki Four-Mode four-wheel drive offers the best of both worlds: further aided by a completely retuned suspension, it is exceptionally capable off-road but is civilized on the asphalt. On pavement, drivers can leave the dash-mounted transfer case switch in 4H and the electronically controlled on-demand four-wheel-drive system will apply traction to the front wheels only as needed, optimizing economy. When traveling off-road, or for low-speed power and traction, drivers can turn the switch to high-range 4H Lock or low-range 4L Lock to engage the center differential lock. The V6 models with Four-Mode full-time four-wheel drive also feature Hill Descent Control and Hill Hold Control, which can enhance driving safety on steep slopes.

Built Like a Brute
The Suzuki Grand Vitara continues Suzuki's 40-year heritage of building compact but rugged SUV-type vehicles, including a model named "Brute." The current Grand Vitara has proven its durability in some of the toughest global markets. Key to the Grand Vitara's go-anywhere capability is its unibody construction with integrated ladder frame, rear-drive-based driveline and four-wheel independent suspension. Typically, only luxury SUVs offer this premium architecture. This type of construction yields the strength and capability sought in large SUVs, while providing the on-road agility and ride quality expected in a modern compact SUV.

Also separating the Suzuki Grand Vitara from the "high wagons" in the segment is the availability of a Four-Mode full time four-wheel-drive system with two-speed transfer case. This hardware, combined with its rugged body construction, steep approach and departure angles, and 7.9 inches of ground clearance (4WD models), enables the Grand Vitara to keep going when the pavement turns to trail. In addition, the Suzuki Grand Vitara 3,000-lb. towing capacity (with V6) is double that of many car-based models and enough to haul light recreational boats, ATVs or motorcycles.

Safety
Beyond offering a strong-yet-weight-optimized structure, the unibody with built-in ladder frame contributes to collision protection in the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The reinforced cabin has the added safety of head-impact protection pad and front and rear side-impact door beams.

Active safety (the ability to help avoid an accident) technology in every Suzuki Grand Vitara model includes anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution, tire pressure monitoring system and ESP with traction control. ESP helps ensure vehicle stability when cornering, under acceleration, during emergency maneuvers and when driving on slippery road surfaces. Taking input from a variety of sensors, ESP has the ability to apply individual brakes and reduce engine torque to help the driver maintain the desired line of travel.

Standard passive safety features in every Suzuki Grand Vitara model include driver and front passenger seat-mounted side-impact airbag supplemental restraint systems (SRS), advanced dual-stage front airbag SRS, advanced weight-sensing front passenger airbag SRS and front and rear side-curtain airbags networked with a rollover sensor. The three-point driver and front passenger seat belts feature pretensioners and shoulder height adjustment. Each rear seating position is equipped with a three-point seatbelt and a headrest. Also provided is a rear child-seat LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children).

The Grand Vitara's safety engineering also reflects Suzuki's attention to pedestrian impacts demanded in many global markets. The front end and the bumper integrate energy-absorbing materials to help reduce the possibility of serious leg injuries. The hood is designed to absorb some of the impact and help protect against serious head injuries. These factors helped the 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest rating of good in its most recent frontal crash protection test. In combination, these active and passive safety features make Suzuki Grand Vitara one of the best-equipped compact SUVs with respect to safety.

The Look and Function of a Suzuki
To simplify and improve the driver experience, Suzuki offers easy-to-use features that add useful, real-world functionality to each vehicle. The Suzuki Grand Vitara shows its Suzuki sensibilities in the simple, uncluttered design. Form follows function, with styling that does not compromise visibility, as it does in many crossover-type SUVs. Handsome good looks are part of the mix, too, along with SUV necessities, including short overhangs and roof rails. Exterior mirrors, door handles and bumpers are all color keyed.

The compact exterior footprint contains a roomy, comfortable and versatile cabin to take people and cargo on daily trips or extraordinary voyages. The Suzuki Grand Vitara offers comfortable seating for five, including reclining rear seats, and 24.4 cu.-ft. of storage space with the rear seats up. Cargo space expands to 68.9 cu.-ft. with the 60/40 split-folding seatbacks folded. High-quality materials and attention to fit and finish should help make a driver accustomed to a large luxury SUV feel at home. Controls are easy to access and use, which anyone used to driving a large luxury SUV might find refreshing.

Four Trim Lines, Two Engines, Three Drivelines
The 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara four-cylinder model is offered in four trim levels: Base, Premium, XSport and Luxury. The base model is RWD only, but its list of standard equipment is far from basic and includes: air conditioning with automatic climate control and micron air filtration system, trip computer, power windows, mirrors and door locks, remote keyless entry, tilt steering wheel, automatic on/off headlamps, four-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM Satellite Radio®-capable audio system and 16-inch wheels.

The Premium model (four-cylinder only) adds an available four-speed automatic transmission, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with illuminated audio controls, cruise control, privacy glass, full-size spare tire cover, cargo cover, and, when equipped with the optional Single-Mode four-wheel drive, heated exterior mirrors.

Suzuki Alto, 2009

Suzuki Alto, 2009

 

 

At the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Suzuki has unveiled the all-new Suzuki Alto — the fifth and smallest member of its acclaimed lineup of world strategic models. The new Suzuki Alto combines eye-catching style and easy urban mobility with great performance in terms of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, thereby meeting the lifestyle needs of today's motorists and the pressing global need for environmental compatibility. Plus, it is one of the most fun-to-drive city cars available — a great new example of Suzuki's "Way of Life!" philosophy.

As the second model in the second phase of Suzuki's world strategy (a phase that's focused on user-friendliness and delivering expanded possibilities for family members), the new Suzuki Alto offers good levels of comfort and convenience within a modest overall length.
Plus, a design that combines sporty, European-inspired looks with great aerodynamics means the new Suzuki Alto is the most stylish car of its size.

The new Suzuki Alto reflects the unparalleled knowledge of small-cars that has made Suzuki so successful with minivehicles in Japan and compact cars like the Swift all over the world. Suzuki Alto is a definitive response to the need for enjoyable, eco-friendly motoring. Suzuki aims to achieve annual sales of 60,000 units in Europe following a sales launch in spring 2009.

The new Alto is aimed mainly at urban people who want a small car that offers style and enjoyment together with great environmental credentials, and it reflects the ideals of the second phase of Suzuki's world strategy. At the heart of the concept for the new Suzuki Alto is Suzuki's belief that people should be able to enjoy economical, eco-friendly motoring without sacrificing style, comfort, practicality, or performance. Compact dimensions (the new Suzuki Alto is the smallest of Suzuki's world strategic models) play a large part in realising outstanding environmental credentials by keeping weight to a minimum, but without detracting from user-friendliness.

Design, Comfort and Practicality
The new Suzuki Alto has a sporty, solid look that exudes urban energy despite the body's compact dimensions. The design is elegant and beautiful thanks to aerodynamically efficient contours that combine tautness with evocative curviness. It is ideally matched to European tastes and with a drag coefficient of just 0.30 promotes fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions.

The cabin layout apportions most of the space to the front seats but still provides ample space for four adults. Handy storage spaces for small items are located all around the cabin. Notwithstanding the new Alto's compact exterior dimensions, there's a usable amount of luggage space behind the rear seats, and folding down the rear seatback expands the space into a roomy luggage area suited to daily use.

Performance and Environmental Compatibility
The new Suzuki Alto is powered by a three cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine successfully launched as an engine of the Suzuki Splash. This unit is light and compact with low friction characteristics. Maximum power output is 68PS (50kW) with maximum torque of 90Nm. Fuel consumption is low at 62.7 mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions are just 103g/km. Standard transmission is a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission (uncommon among one-litre cars) with gate-type shifter is available as an option.

Suspension
The front suspension is of MacPherson strut type and the large, high-rigidity suspension frame is complemented by further strengthening in the strut mounting areas for superior handling. The rear suspension has Suzuki's proprietary 3-link rigid axle design, and incorporates numerous refinements for the new car. The coil springs and dampers were tuned for optimum handling stability through extensive testing on roads in Europe.

Suzuki targeted handling that makes driving enjoyable on urban roads, so drivers enjoy linear response, gentle roll movements, light steering feel, and good absorption of shock and vibration. These benefits reflect the experience Suzuki has gained in motorsport around the world.

Safety
To help the driver avoid hazards on the road, the new Suzuki Alto is available with Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), which modulates the engine performance and applies the brakes during cornering and under aceleration.

In the unfortunate event of an accident, the new Suzuki Alto's body reflects Suzuki's Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) concept in the form of crushable structures that absorb impact energy, frame members that disperse impact energy away from occupants and a strong cabin structure. Use of high-tensile steel for major body parts means the resulting high level of occupant safety does not add excessive weight to the body.

SRS front, side, and curtain airbags are available to reduce the severity of impacts suffered by occupants in the event of a collision. Energy-absorbing trim materials provide further head protection.

"We will show that the car had previously been a concept car, but now mass produced," says this brown-skinned man. Well, that's too easy to predict. The answer must Suzuki Kizashi! "Yeah right," Endro said softly, smiling.

"This new plan loh ya, we still take care of her letters in order to come to Indonesia and exhibited in IIMS," he continued. But surely the presence of the Suzuki Kizashi have a plan to sell this mid sedan in Indonesia. Especially when we see, Suzuki did not have a line-up after Suzuki Neo Baleno Sedan didiscontinue 2010 early this year.

"Who would not want to have a line-up sedan. Moreover, we have vacancies in the sedan class. But the thing is, we have never seen or read the response in the Indonesian market for this model. Well, IIMS 2010 is all we see the public interest in this model, "explained Endro.

Suzuki sales weakened in recent years make the management needs to make new breakthroughs. Suzuki was secretly preparing a new product to compete with the current best-selling products, namely Avanza-Xenia.

Yoshiji Terada, President Director of PT Indomobil Suzuki Motor (SIM), said there were plans to launch multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) new. "The price we wanted under the USD 150 million per unit. It could compete with existing," he said in Jakarta last weekend.

Reportedly the model will use the platform from the Suzuki Concept R3 which was first exhibited in India, earlier this year. When asked about this, Terada did not give a definite answer and just nodded.

The plan, this prototype will go to Indonesia for the first time and exhibited at the International Indonesia Motor Show 2010, the end of July.

100 million U.S. dollars
For the realization of this product, go Terada, investment is needed at least 100 million U.S. dollars. Currently planning is still done in Japan and there has been no final decision.

If the project is finished scrolling, SIM plans to expand the capacity of its factory in Tambun, Bekasi, are currently only 100,000 units per year will be doubled, 200,000 units per year.

"The funding of 100 million U.S. dollars was only for the preparation of products, not including additional production capacity. If that's for sure, the investment will grow again," says Terada.

This year, Suzuki will be able to penetrate the target sales of 70,000 units. While the 2011 figure is expected to touch the maximum production capacity of 100,000 units.

"There are two options. If additional production capacity to be done, first had to build new factories or assembly facility moved motorcycles. All of it is still possible and not break. Depending principals instruction later," adds Terada.

Indonesian International Motor Show event certainly will not pass up by PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales. Then if the Japanese manufacturers will be displaying their new models?

After a couple of Suzuki models launched into the Indonesian market, such as Splash and SX4 facelift, following a GT3 Special Edition Swift, still had left several more models.

Reportedly there are two possible models will be marketed in Indonesia. Moreover, if not the sedan that had been waiting, and variants of the Suzuki Kizashi Suzuki rIII MPV.

However, in response to that possibility, marketing director of PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales, Endro Nugroho still mum about the plan.

"Yes indeed the two models could be a mainstay Suzuki, yes just wait, if it received the invitation, then we display in IIMS," he said in JIEXpo Kemayoran Jakarta, Friday, (06/18/2010)

As we know, Suzuki's flagship sedan Suzuki Kisazhi is currently in the global market, to capitalize petrol engine 2.4-liter, four cylinder, capable of generating power and torque to 178 hp and 230 nm.

Counterparts are going to support six-speed manual transmission, and CVT automatic as optional features, making Kisazhi as a sporty and compact sedan from Suzuki.

While Suzuki rIII an MPV variant of Suzuki's concept, with the advantages of opening the door like a cupboard, and without using the B pillar on the middle body.

Suzuki rIII had carpet on display in Delhi Auto Show in India. The plan would be supported by two choices of engine, 1200 cc and 1400 cc with the level of economical fuel consumption.

SPESIFIKASI Grand Vitara

Recall the Suzuki Grand Vitara 46.549 units model year 2006 and XL-7 model years 2005 -2006 to repair potential problems on the hydraulic power assist steering system pump.

Although from the exterior, the Grand Vitara 2.4L is a minor change from the previous model 2.0L. So there is no noticeable difference, although the look grille and front bumper is more sporty. Other changes, folding rear view mirror that has been equipped sein, done electronically.

The main use of HID lamps (high intensity discharge) projector that features auto leveling and auto headlamps. Thus, the position of the lamp will be set automatically when there is a change in the body (for carrying passengers or loads). Then, the light will turn itself off when the lighting on the outside began to decrease (slightly darker). This superiority of the Grand Vitara 2.4L that is not owned competitors.

More economical and rigid

For machinery, the increase in capacity of 2,000 cc, logically, ought to 2,400 cc would be more wasteful. When Kompas.com do a test drive with a route of Yogyakarta, Semarang, Salatiga-national tour through the region of Mount Merapi, Central Java, which is full rise and turn, consumption of 11.8 km / liter.

While car manufacturers claim 12.6 km for the manual transmission, 3.6 km farther than the kitchen runway 2,000 cc to 1 liter (manual transmission). More economical engine 16V 2400 cc inline 4-This, according to Bebin Djuana engine management is supported. "So, this machine is contrived for the Grand Vitara 2.4. In the Japanese had just launched about 10 months ago, "said Deputy GM Brand Marketing 4W II PT SIM.

Management engine in question, according to program them Bebin ECU (engine control unit) and VVT (variable valve timing). This last technology that regulates open-close valves in accordance with the engine working conditions. That way, work becomes more efficient machine.

The question mark, why this new Vitara inline engine wear? instead of a V6 engine vibration is more subtle than inline. But the weights, inline lighter. Grand Vitara and consideration inline engine wear, according Bebin to reduce the cost of production. To reduce vibration in inline been given a balancer shaft.

Besides the engine, on the legs also received improvements. Most significantly, the use of larger wheels from R17 to R18. For suspension systems, "Technically, the system has not changed. Only on the design of screw (coil spring) and sokbreker. Then, on the rear axle mounting bracket with the front hydraulic and further strengthened (reinforced). "So the car became more rigid in the corner," said Bebin.

Still from the legs, to the rate freeze, all four wheels are equipped with four ventilated disc brakes plus ABS, EDB and BA.

For the interior is almost no difference as its predecessor. Unless Multi Information Display (MID) fused with isntrumen indicators. While the previous hour in the center moved to the head unit.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the problem involves a set of plastic pulley drive voltage steering pump drive belt and compressor AC.

Suzuki unveiled the third generation Suzuki Swift hatchback. This model is available in three and five door versions. This new generation grows bigger than the present generation, be it length, height and width. Suzuki stressed, however, new car is lighter than before because the use of a very strong lightweight steel body construction.

Suzuki will replace the current engine used 1.3liter 1.2liter engine that is equipped with Dual VVT technology. Although smaller, this new engine was more powerful than 1.3-liter engine. 1.2-liter engine can produce 95hp and 87lb-ft of torque. This engine is also more efficient than the present.

Suzuki also prepared 1.3-liter diesel engine, which will be introduced early next year. Engine offers fuel efficiency that is very impressive.

SPESIFIKASI SUZUKI SWIFT 2011

It's longer, taller and wider, but it's still unmistakably a Suzuki Swift.

The new 2011 model of the Japanese hatch has broken cover, with the company releasing the first official details of the car.

While it has retained the unmistakable lines of the quirky 2005 Swift, the new model is bigger in every way.

It is 90mm longer, the wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels) has been stretched by 50mm and it is marginally wider and taller.

The car also has a wider stance, with the front and rear wheels wider apart. Suzuki predicts the new car will offer better noise refinement and safety, with extensive use of higher strength steel making the bodyshell lighter and stiffer than before.

“We are very excited about the preliminary release of the new car, but we are still some way off finalising the Australian version of the next Swift,” said Tony Devers, Suzuki Australian General Manager.

“The new Swift doesn’t go on sale here until the first half of next year, so we still have some development time to work through.”

The work will focus on finalising the engine and equipment specification of the car.

European models will be fitted with either a 1.2-litre petrol or a 1.3-litre diesel engine, but Suzuki Australia has admitted there are larger petrol engine options available.

The current range has a choice of has 1.5-litre and 1.6-litre petrol engines. Suzuki is also considering adding the diesel to the new model Swift.

The company won’t divulge the petrol options being considered, but Devers says they “offer even better performance and economy” than the current model.

The Swift is Suzuki Australia’s best selling model, chalking up more than 5000 sales already in 2010.

Suzuki SX4 no Brasil

A Suzuki anunciou o lançamento no Brasil do SX4. O carro terá motor 2.0 a gasolina 16v de 145 cv, e será vendido a partir de R$ 61.990 com transmissão manual e R$ 66.790 com câmbio automático.

A Suzuki classifica o SX4 como um crossover devido ao seu sistema de tração 4×4 integral chamado i-AWD, sistema distribuir automaticamente a força do motor entre as rodas. O carro tem airbags frontais, freios ABS de série, rodas de liga leve de 16 polegadas, ar-condicionado, direção eletro-hidráulica, vidros, travas e retrovisores elétricos e sistema de som com leitor de arquivos MP3 e entrada para auxiliar iPod.

O SX4 começam a ser vendido em setembro, mas algumas revendas da Suzuki já receberam o modelo.

Suzuki revela a GSX-R1000 2009

A maior concorrente da Yamaha R1, a Suzuki GSX-R1000 esta com novo visual para a versão 2009.

Ela será vendida ainda este ano na Europa e Estados Unidos, a motocicleta ganhou modificações estéticas, aerodinâmicas e melhorias mecânicas. E vem com novas opções de cores e personalizações.

Em altas velocidades o motor, que já conta com 178 cv, ganha mais de 20 cv extras, proporcionada pela entrada de ar na câmara de combustão funciona como um turbocompressor natural assim como Yamaha.

Outra mudança que ajudou muito na redução de peso foi o uso de mais alumínio em componentes do motor substituindo. A dupla saída de escape de titânio reduziu as emissões e melhorou a vazão dos gases de escape, proporcionando mais potência.


A Suzuki atualizou o software do ABS da GSX, que agora responde de acordo com a velocidade e condições de rodagem, dosando de maneira mais uniforme a frenagem. Ainda não há previsão de chegada do modelo 2009 da R1000 ao Brasil. Nos EUA, ela tem preço sugerido de US$ 11.000 (R$ 21.220).

Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300R 2009 chega ao Brasil

Desde seu lançamento, em 1999, a Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R fez história por ultrapassar a barreira dos 300 km/h. Lançada na Europa no ano passado, a versão 2008 da cultuada superesportiva com diversas modificações e tecnologia de ponta chega agora oficialmente ao país.

Alguns importadores independentes já disponibilizavam o modelo, geralmente importado dos Estados Unidos, mas a J.Toledo/Suzuki da Amazônia alerta aos consumidores mais afoitos que compraram estas unidades: além de não estarem “tropicalizadas”, ou seja, adaptadas a nosso combustível com uma porcentagem de álcool, essas motos não estão cobertas pela garantia de fábrica.

A nova Hayabusa já pode ser encontrada nas concessionárias autorizadas Suzuki nas cores laranja, branca, azul e preta, a um preço sugerido de R$ 61,2 mil.

Mudanças

O motor da Hayabusa ficou maior. Passou dos antigos 1.299 cm³ para 1.340 cm³. O propulsor de quatro cilindros em linha, 16 válvulas, DOHC, teve as câmaras de combustão redesenhadas para aumentar em 11% a eficiência na queima da mistura. Sem falar no novo sistema de alimentação, com dois bicos injetores por cilindro. As válvulas e os cilindros também mudaram, resultando em uma taxa de compressão maior: 12,5:1. Agora a potência máxima já foi divulgada: 197 cv – um aumento de 25 cv em relação ao modelo anterior, que tinha 172 cv.

Outra grande novidade foi a adoção do Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS). Trata-se de um seletor do modo de funcionamento do motor, que controla diversas funções. Há três opções: no modo “A” o motor trabalha com força total e entrega toda a potência; no “B”, a entrega de potência é diminuída em baixas rotações, ideal para circuitos travados; já no modo “C” mantém pouca potência em médios e baixos regimes, mas o motor pára de entregar mais potência acima das 8.000 rpm, bastante útil em piso molhado. É o mesmo sistema utilizado nas motos de competição e que também já equipa a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K7.

No drivetrain há ainda um câmbio de seis marchas. Em conjunto foi instalada uma embreagem “anti-travamento” com limitador de torque para suavizar os trancos na redução de marchas.

Visual e ciclística

A Suzuki têm se mostrado eficiente na atualização de seus modelos, sem deixar de lado a identidade de cada um deles. Na Hayabusa não foi diferente, já que o design que a consagrou se manteve, porém parece mais moderno. O farol continua uma peça única, mas com desenho renovado. A carenagem ganhou novas entradas de ar e um coeficiente de atrito menor para melhorar a penetração aerodinâmica. Para isso o tanque também foi posicionado mais para baixo, para permitir ao piloto se esconder atrás da bolha.

Na traseira, as setas estão embutidas e a lanterna mudou. Chamam a atenção também os dois novos escapes. Perderam os cromados e ganharam uma cobertura preta, de acordo com as atuais tendências.

Na parte ciclística, mais melhorias. O quadro de dupla trave superior feito em alumínio ficou mais leve e mais resistente a torções. Na dianteira, o garfo invertido também é novo. Assim como o monoamortecedor na balança traseira, que ganhou novo desenho para melhorar a tração da Hayabusa 2008 mais potente.

Os freios dianteiros trazem modernas pinças, fixadas radialmente, que mordem dois discos de 310 mm – menores, porém mais eficientes do que na versão anterior, garante a Suzuki. Na traseira o disco de freio ficou maior – 260 mm de diâmetro com pinça de um pistão. As rodas também foram redesenhadas e são calçadas com pneus Bridgestone BT-015 de alto desempenho. Tudo para “suportar” mais potência do novo motor e garantir a dirigibilidade, um dos pontos altos do modelo.

Outra qualidade mantida foi o conforto da garupa. Para isso, o assento foi rebaixado juntamente com o sub-quadro traseiro. Mantendo assim o caráter “sport-touring” dessa superesportiva.

O piloto, além de poder se esconder melhor sob a bolha, conta com um novo painel de instrumentos. Com quatro mostradores analógicos, traz velocímetro, tacômetro, marcador de combustível e de temperatura. Conta ainda com indicador de marcha engatada e a indicação do S-DMS (modo de mapeamento do motor) escolhido.

Ao que tudo indica a nova Hayabusa deve reassumir o posto de moto mais rápida do mundo e acirrar a guerra entre as marcas japonesas, principalmente com a Kawasaki e sua ZX-R 14. As previsões falam em velocidade máxima de 320 km/h, ou seja, a moto de série mais rápida do mundo.
