The Suzuki Hayabusa needs no introduction in India, for it is the most popular super bike here. Suzuki is looking to make it even more special with a new Special Edition and additional bits for about a lakh more than the standard variant; which has also seen a refresh to its colours and both the motorcycles have received refinements across a few electronic rider aid systems. Please note that this Special Edition is globally known as the 2026 version; Suzuki’s global website has a 2027 one, in a different Pearl Brilliant White colour with Grey highlights.
- Hayabusa Special Edition is a new cosmetic variant, positioned at the top
- Standard Hayabusa gets three new colours
- Both motorcycles continue with no changes to the 1340cc in-line four engine
What’s different on the Suzuki Hayabusa Special Edition?
Gets additional standard accessories and decals, no mechanical differences
Suzuki offers the Hayabusa Special Edition in a single Pearl Vigor Blue colour. It stands apart from the standard Hayabusa further with special decals and wheel finish, special emblems on the tank, an anodised muffler-end and heat guards, and a standard single-seat cowl accessory. For these additional bits, Suzuki has priced it at Rs 19.90 lakh, Rs 91,000 over the refreshed standard Hayabusa.
The other changes are common to both motorcycles. Both get a new ELIIY Power Lithium-ion battery, that’s said to be lighter and more compact, while delivering more stable voltage under load. On the rider aids front, Suzuki says the launch control system, power mode selector settings have been revised. The Smart cruise control system is now said to remain active even during gear shifts, thereby letting riders maintain the selected speed without having to hold the throttle open. Lastly, the standard Hayabusa gets three refreshed colours: Candy Daring Red with Black, Metallic Galaxy Gray with Gold, and Pearl Vigor Blue with White. For the refined feature set and colours, Suzuki has increased the price by Rs 93,000 over the previous version to Rs 18.99 lakh.
Besides these changes, the motorcycles remain where they were before. Which means, the famed 1340cc in-line four, liquid-cooled engine, the accessible 800mm seat height, a monumental 266kg kerb weight, Brembo Stylema four-piston front brake calipers, bespoke Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tyres and multiple rider aids like six riding modes (three preset and three user customisable), cornering ABS, launch control, traction control, cruise control, and both hill-hold and hill descent control, to name a few. Suzuki says the updated Hayabusas are already available at Suzuki showrooms across the country, at the aforementioned prices.
