Back in Motogp in 2015 after three years of absence, Suzuki quickly got back into the game with a 2016 season crowned with 3 podiums and a great victory (Silverstone with Maverick Vinales).
The year 2017 was a duller one with a new duo composed of Andrea Iannone and the rookie Alex Rins who did not manage to do better than 4th with 100 points / team accumulated, less than in 2015 for the year recovery.
For 2018, the two men were renewed with the ambition to come back to confront the tenors of the plateau, and why not get back on the top step of the podium in a few flashes. To achieve this, it is a sharp GSX-RR that the firm of Hamamatsu presented to Sepang on January 27, 2018.
Aesthetically the Suzuki GSX-RR 2018 remains one of the most beautiful MotoGP with a particularly fluid line and preserved from the protruding edges that most of its competitors sport.
As compact as the Honda RC-213V and reputed to be as homogeneous as the Yamaha thanks to an excellent chassis, the 2018 GSX-R has, like the Rossi M1, a four-cylinder in-line engine where Ducati and Honda are equip V-mills. Although much of the features are secret, it is rumored that the valve recall would be pneumatic and the ignition sequence shifted. The Suzuki also has a Seamless type gearbox (instantaneous gear changes, without loss of torque).
On the chassis side, Suzuki relies on a perimeter-type frame with double aluminum beams and adjustable carbon supports allowing the rigidity to be modified..
For 2018, no big changes announced. The engineers mainly worked on the balance of the bike as Ken Kawauchi says: “Our bike may look very similar to last year. But the most important thing is the improvement in the balance. . “
A cut below in terms of engine performance, the GSX-RR will be able to count on concessions due to its lack of results in 2017 to progress. Indeed, the regulations want teams without a podium in a season to benefit from significant advantages for the following season: Endowment of 9 engines (against 7 for the sheet metal workers) and especially the possibility of continuing the development of it throughout. of the season. What to approach this new year with optimism.
