The Philippine Arrival of Suzuki’s Timeless Titans: The GSX-8T and GSX-8TT

Suzuki Philippines has officially launched the all-new GSX-8T and GSX-8TT—dubbed the “Timeless Titans”—bringing a unique fusion of classic motorcycle design and next-generation engineering to the local market. Announced globally just a month ago, the Philippines is among the first countries to receive these neo-retro motorcycles. Designed for riders who appreciate retro styling without sacrificing performance, these new models deliver an exciting and stylish ride for both city commuting and long-distance travel.

The GSX-8T and 8TT are inspired by Suzuki’s iconic past models, with design cues taken from the T500 “Titan” and the GS1000 AMA race bikes. However, instead of simply recreating the classics, Suzuki reinterpreted them with modern touches—like a full-color TFT display, LED lighting, and an innovative frame—to deliver timeless looks with today’s technology. Both models share Suzuki’s robust 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine and performance features from the acclaimed GSX-8S and GSX-8R, making them powerful yet approachable for a broad range of riders.

Incorporating advanced systems like the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), these bikes adapt to various riding styles and conditions. Key features include a bi-directional quick shifter, three-level traction control, ABS, ride-by-wire throttle, and even a USB Type-C charging port. Whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising open highways, these bikes ensure safety, comfort, and control for every ride.

Chassis-wise, the bikes are built for comfort and stability, featuring a steel frame, KYB suspension, dual front disc brakes, and lightweight aluminum components. The GSX-8TT adds a modern café racer aesthetic with its mini fairing and under cowl, offering a unique take on the GSX-8T’s design. Both models boast premium finish, ergonomic seating, and intuitive control for an engaging riding experience, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider.

Expected to arrive in August 2025 at Suzuki Big Bikes Centers nationwide, the GSX-8T will be available in Metallic Matte Steel Green and Metallic Matte Black with an SRP of PHP 699,000. The GSX-8TT, priced at PHP 729,000, will come in Glass Sparkle Black and Pearl Matte Shadow Green. With this launch, Suzuki reinforces its commitment to blending heritage and innovation—offering Filipino riders the perfect balance of style, performance, and practicality.
