Japanese motorcycle maker Suzuki unveiled its latest middle-weight crossover motorcycle, ‘Suzuki SV-7GX’, at the EICMA 2025 show. The motorcycle is touted by Suzuki as the crossover motorcycle — designed to bridge the gap between sporty agility and adventure touring comfort.
Built on the technical base of the legendary Suzuki SV650 — the new SV-7GX features the 645cc liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin DOHC engine derived from the SV650 — with some tweaks to meet the current emission norms. The 645cc V-twin churns out 73.4 hp of power at 8,500 rpm and 64 Nm torque at 6,800 rpm.
The Suzuki SV-7GX is based on a purposely engineered lightweight yet robust steel trellis frame, paired with 41mm telescopic forks at the front and a link-type preload 7-step adjustable monoshock suspension at the rear, aimed at enabling the rider to enjoy the motorcycle on the twist and turns, while being fairly competent at some off-road adventure and long-distance touring.
The Suzuki SV-7GX is packed with advanced technology through Suzuki’s Intelligent Ride System, which includes ride-by-wire throttle, three adjustable riding modes, a three-level traction control system, and a bi-directional quick shift system. Additional features include Suzuki Easy Start, Low RPM Assist for smooth launches, and hill-start assist, aiding in enhancing the everyday usability of the crossover motorcycle.
The Crossover Motorcycle’s features list also includes LED projector headlights and a 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity via Suzuki Ride Connect+.
Aesthetically, the Suzuki SV-7GX borrows heavily from the GSX-S1000GX, such as the sharp and muscular lines and a half-cowl fairing featuring a three-step adjustable windscreen to suit diverse conditions and needs.
The SV-7GX rides on 17-inch cast aluminium wheels fitted with Pirelli Angel GT II tyres, matching the motorcycle’s DNA of balancing grip and durability on paved and unpaved surfaces.
Suzuki aims to position the SV-7GX as a capable middleweight crossover that caters to riders seeking versatility, winding backroads, city streets, and open highways.
Suzuki plans to make the motorcycle available for the global markets from mid-2026, and anticipates competition with other crossover sport-tourers like the Yamaha Tracer 7 and Kawasaki Versys 650.
