As has been the case for every generation since the original launch of the GSX-R, all engine internals and related settings underwent a thorough review and were optimized to make the new model capable of withstanding the tuning required to compete successfully in premier endurance races and other racing series. The product concept, "Designed to Perform, Built to Thrill" conveys how the new model remains committed to faithfully delivering the winning combination of acceleration, cornering and braking that Suzuki engineers have focused on throughout the 40-year history of the GSX-R family.
