Engine Features

SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) cylinder allows for improved heat transfer, lightweight and tighter piston clearance

Powerful 454cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed for a wide powerband and strong performance

Uses a cylinder canted forward for lower center of gravity, reduced engine height and lower seat height

Compact 4-valve cylinder head with large intake valves and straight intake ports for increased cylinder charging efficiency

Sportbike-derived chain-and-gear camshaft drive system allows a short/narrow cylinder head design and reduced overall engine height

Plasma Spray Coating (SPSC) cylinders allows lightweight cylinder construction resistance to heat and friction

Suzuki fuel injection system featuring high-performance motorcycle technology provides excellent throttle response, fuel efficiency and quick engine starts under all operating conditions

QuadMatic® CVT-type automatic transmission designed for maximum versatility and convenience — fender-mounted gate-type shifter operation for high/low forward ranges, plus neutral and reverse

Advanced engine brake system minimizes free-wheeling to reduce downhill speed

Electric 2WD, 4WD and differential-lock 4WD - convenient handlebar-mounted push-button controls allow the rider to easily select the right setting for any traction condition

Compact torque-sensing limited-slip front differential offers more powerful traction plus light steering effort, including a differential-lock system that provides serious four-wheel-drive traction.

High capacity aluminum radiator with large diameter cooling fan for stable engine operating temperature

Chassis Features

Comfortable T-shaped seat with tapered design for rider mobility, plus thick padding for support
