2010 Suzuki Gladius 400 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Suzuki's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Suzuki Gladius 400 utilizes a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 56.5 x 49.5 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Gladius 400 measures 199 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb).
