Suzuki updates the 2026 Suzuki Hayabusa with revised throttle maps, improved cruise control and a Special Edition — subtle technical changes that boost rideability.
Suzuki has given a quietly meaningful update for 2026 Suzuki Hayabusa, focusing on software and touring refinements rather than mechanical overhaul. The famed 1,340cc inline-four remains unchanged in hardware, but electronics and packaging tweaks aim to make the superbike more usable in everyday and long-distance riding.

What’s changed
The 2026 Suzuki Hayabusa update is a retune of the selectable throttle maps to deliver more torque down low, improving acceleration and rideability at everyday speeds. Cruise control has been refined so it can remain active through gear changes when using the bi-directional quickshifter, which makes long rides smoother. Launch control has also been updated and the bike now comes with a smaller, lighter lithium-ion battery. These changes favour real-world usability and touring comfort without altering the Hayabusa’s high-speed character.

Powertrain and accessories
Mechanically the engine still produces 190hp and 150Nm, so peak performance figures are unchanged. Suzuki UK is offering an Akrapovič exhaust as an optional accessory at a discounted price, making a popular upgrade easier to fit. The company has also introduced a Special Edition in a classic blue/white racing-inspired scheme, complete with a 3D Suzuki emblem, special badging and a seat cowl for a more exclusive look.

Price and India outlook
The updated Hayabusa carries a UK on-the-road price of £18,599 (around Rs 21.55 lakh). For context, the current India-spec model lists at roughly Rs 18.06 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Suzuki hasn’t confirmed India timing for the 2026 updates, but if the model arrives it will likely command a modest premium over the outgoing bike.
