KATANA（カタナ/刀）スズキ ・バイク試乗レビュー（峠道編）SUZUKI KATANA Winding Road Test Ride

We will send you a test drive review (mountain road edition) of the "KATANA", Suzuki's most popular model this season. ~The following is an excerpt from the SUZUKI website~ Based on the GSX-R1000 engine, it has been tuned for street use to demonstrate strong torque at low rpm and powerful engine characteristics at high rpm. Suzuki's original SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) plated cylinder is used to reduce friction loss and ensure high heat dissipation, wear resistance, and airtightness. Equipped with ventilation holes under each cylinder, it releases pressure when the piston descends to the adjacent cylinder to reduce pumping loss. In addition, a slipper clutch is used for exciting driving on the street. It controls the back torque transmitted from the rear wheel and suppresses rear wheel lock and hopping caused by excessive engine braking when shifting down. The fuel injection system uses Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV). The muffler is short and compact, and the blacked-out color of the silencer body emphasizes the tight appearance. A partition plate that introduces air is installed inside the air cleaner to improve intake efficiency and tune the intake sound. Combined with the exhaust sound, it creates an uplifting acceleration feeling that stimulates the five senses. It complies with the 2016 domestic exhaust gas regulations, achieving both environmental performance and performance. It adopts LED rear combination lamps and a swingarm-mounted rear fender with turn signals, which is Suzuki's first, equipped with rear turn signals and a license plate holder. The area under the seat tail is neat, further emphasizing the short tail. It contributes to a tough and lightweight impression. Equipped with an advanced traction control system. This equipment makes it possible to efficiently transmit engine output to the rear tire, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable ride. You can choose your favorite mode from three modes, and it can also be turned off. The front brake uses a Brembo radial-mount monoblock caliper. Together with the 310mm floating-mount double disc, it exerts powerful stopping power. The ABS* unit is made by Bosch, lightweight and compact. The front and rear suspensions are optimally set to match the "KATANA", and the tires are specially designed to provide excellent grip and handling. The Suzuki Easy Start System allows for one-push starting. When the starter button is pressed, the starter motor rotates for a certain period of time, and the 32-bit ECM recognizes the starting situation and stops the starter motor. The low RPM assist function uses information from the engine speed, gear position, throttle opening, and clutch switch to control the drop in engine speed when starting or driving at low speeds, achieving a smooth start. It also provides a sense of security when driving at low speeds in traffic jams or making U-turns. The lightweight and compact full LCD display multi-function instrument panel provides the rider with a wealth of information, providing high usability.
