The power and two-wheeled fun the SFV650 Gladius provide can become even better with the addition of ABS, and Suzuki in in fact offering a Gladius equipped with such brakes. The 2013 MY SFV650 Gladius ABS is almost identical to the base model, save for the different rotors, the ABS sensors and the modulator hidden under the seat. The few extra pounds the presence of the system brings are not going to make the bike any lazier, and riders will be able to fully enjoy its nimble character.


A modern take on the 645cc v-twin engine Suzuki perfected with the V-Strom, the SFV650 Gladius ABS is however a different breed of a machine, aimed at riders who want a sportier feel and sizzling hot looks.

Power without control is definitely not a good thing, and in the motorcycling world things are even worse, so seeing Suzuki offering an ABS-equipped version of the SFV650 Gladius should not be a surprise. Some riders value good looks and sweet performance just as much as better road safety and ABS is probably one of the most common features for making things a bit safer.


The SFV650 Gladius ABS is unchanged from a technical point of view, and the small bulk the ABS introduces will be impossible to feel. This stylish bike now has all it takes for an even more rewarding riding experience.
