Suzuki revealed the all-new crossover model SV-7GX at international motorcycle exhibition EICMA 2025, held in Milan, Italy from 4 to 9 November 2025. The covers were also pulled off an updated GSX-S1000GX.
As the GX suffix suggests, the SV-7GX will provide a middleweight sports crossover option in the Suzuki lineup, alongside the range-topping GSX-S1000GX.
The SV-7GX uses an updated version of Suzuki’s proven 645cc V-twin engine from the SV650 series, which is now fully-compliant with the latest Euro5+ emissions regulations. Peak power is 73PS and peak torque is 64Nm. Aiding efficiency and performance is a new magneto, transmission gears, airbox, a ride-by-wire throttle, and a new exhaust system.
The
SV-7GX will replace Suzuki SV650, and its adventure bike cousin, the V-Strom 650. The all new SV-7GX, a sport touring bike that resembles a cross between these two models, featuring a Euro 5+ compliant version of the SV's V-twin engine and a dash of Gixxer styling.
The SV-7GX offers touring comfort with an upright riding position, standard equipment such as a rear carrier, half cowl with three-step adjustable windscreen, and knuckle covers.
Furthermore, it is equipped with the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), which allows adjustment of engine output characteristics according to road conditions and rider skill level; traction control that detects wheel slip and controls engine output; and a bi-directional quick shift system, all part of the electronic control system S.I.R.S. (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System) that ensures peace of mind and comfort while riding.
A steel trellis frame is equipped with suspension from KYB, which provides a plush ride quality designed to make it easy to cover distance in comfort on the 7GX. The seat height remains accessible for a multitude of riders at 795mm. Wheels are new cast aluminium 17”, front and rear, and are shod with Pirelli Angel GT 2 tyres. They work with the chassis to provide the sport element to the new sports crossover. Tokico calipers and twin 290mm discs provide the stopping power.
Tall, wide, tapered aluminium ‘bars provide an upright and comfortable riding position, but place weight over the front tyre enough to generate feel and allow riders to enjoy the sporty side of the 7GX when away from the motorway or dual carriageways. Handguards come as standard.
On the electronics side, smartphone connectivity comes as standard and allows riders to access everything from maps to contacts and messages from intuitive switchgear on the left handlebar. All information is displayed via a colour TFT screen, which also indicates the selected throttle map, with three to choose from, as well as the chosen traction control setting, also with three to choose from, as well as off. There’s a USB-C charging port on the left hand side. The electronics package also includes a standard-fit bi-directional quickshifter for seamless up and down gear changes.
Wind-tunnel tested bodywork shields the rider from the worst of the elements and provides aerodynamic efficiency, with styling cues taken from the bigger GSX-S1000GX. There’s a 17.4-litre fuel tank. Lighting is full LED all round, with a new asaerial design at the front for improved illumination and visibility while cornering.
An accessories catalogue includes a 45-litre top box, soft panniers, tank bags, and heated grips.
The arrival of the SV-7GX is set for late summer of 2026. Sales will begin sequentially in various countries, mainly in North America and Europe. |
