The mill generates roughly 75hp and 64Nm of torque with the former marking a 4hp increase from its last iteration and the latter now delivered at a slightly higher RPM. Typically, both are sent to the rear wheel using a six-speed box and chain-drive setup.

The updated powertrain is encased within a trellis chassis design as before, but Suzuki claims that over 140 parts and components were revised, resulting in an 8kg reduction in kerb weight for the ABS-equipped model.

Additionally, the S-brand’s Malaysian arm were keen to highlight some of the changes meant to improve the SV650A’s rideability. Besides a low seat height of 785mm plus the revised and slightly more compact styling changes, there’s also the Low RPM Assist suite that helps rider in launching and running at lower revs.
