Suzuki’s 2026 Hayabusa Special Edition rolls out in India on a new ex‑showroom price of ₹19.90 lakh, a modest ₹91,000 jump over the standard model. Painted in Pearl Vigor Blue, the bike flaunts custom graphics, a three‑dimensional Suzuki crest on the tank, anodised muffler end, and a single‑seat cowl – features that feel more like a premium badge than a price tag.
Under the hood, nothing changes – the 1,340cc inline‑four still churns out 190bhp and 142Nm, paired with a six‑speed gearbox. What does, however, shift is the power pack: a lighter ELIIY lithium‑ion battery replaces the older type, trimming weight and freeing up space. The electronics suite gets a fresh Launch Control System and a Power Mode selector, while Smart Cruise Control now stays active even when the rider shifts without using the clutch.
For riders eyeing the top‑end of the sport‑bike segment, the image and tech upgrades feel like a value add, especially when the nearest rival – the Yamaha R1M – sits at ₹22 lakh and comes with a different battery tech. The Hayabusa’s aggressive styling and feature set keep it comfortably ahead of mid‑range rivals such as the Kawasaki Ninja 400.
The Special Edition will hit dealerships in major metros from July 15, with a phased rollout in smaller towns over the next quarter. Prospective buyers can expect a test‑ride slot in the next two weeks, and Suzuki is preparing a limited‑edition kit for those who want an even more exclusive look.
