The GT+ boasts radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers, each with four opposed 32mm pistons biting 310mm floating discs for strong stopping power. While tyres are custom developed Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 radial tyres, these benefit from an updated internal structure custom engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S, as well as an optimised tread pattern with a new compound that enhances positive grip in wet conditions, warms up faster, and wears better.

The GT + windscreen focuses on maximising wind protection to deliver relaxing comfort worthy of a sports touring riding experience. At the same time, the designers were also concerned with keeping the form as compact as possible and making the screen attractive. Development involved repeated rounds of wind tunnel testing and analysis, with the design refined at each stage until it achieved just the right overall balance to satisfy both goals. In addition to deflecting wind away from the rider’s head, folds introduced along the sides also help shield the rider’s shoulders from the wind. The result is comfort, reduced stress from exposure to the cold and other elements, and reduced fatigue on long rides.

The rear combination light and indicators use LEDs for high visibility and long life. With a clear lens covering the LEDs, the design of the rear combination light conveys a premium feel that emphasises the stylish lines of the compact tail section. The GSX-S1000GT+ also adopts a LED licence plate light.

A pair of LED headlights are mounted horizontally to the body on the right and left of the cowling. Compact and light compared to other LED lights, these headlights adopt a mono-focus LED light source that shines straight through the relatively thick outer lens. The lens’s convex interior surface gathers the light to illuminate the road ahead and make the GT+ clearly visible to pedestrians and other traffic at night. The horizontal layout combines with the fairing to create a look of advanced styling, inspired by the wind-cutting nose of a stealth fighter.
