BORN TO EXPLORE

The all new V-Strom 1050 DE is now available in Tour Option With Full Metal luggage in either Black or Silver…The choice is yours

Any Terrain – Any Horizon – Any Adventure

Explore new horizons, conquer new territory, and go on new adventures. Comfort and long-distance on-road capability are provided by a 19-inch cast front wheel with road-focused tyres, roomy rider and pillion seats, a large adjustable screen, and specialised handlebars and footpegs. On every journey, customised ergonomics, electronic rider aids, cruise control, Quickshifter, and full-colour TFT display provide even more excitement and confidence.

Powerful Engine

The 1,037cc four-stroke, 90° V-Twin, DOHC engine features strong linear torque in the mid rpm range, and a free-revving nature that maximises power output in the high rpm range. There is also a profound pleasure to its distinctive V-Twin rumble and exhaust note. Its V-Twin layout also allows for a slimmer chassis design with a lower centre of gravity, and this contributes to more agile handling and greater manoeuvrability.

Suzuki Clutch assist system (SCAS)

SCAS delivers smooth operation and a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce left hand fatigue. At the same time, it ensures positive power transfer when accelerating and smoother deceleration when downshifting, advantages it also brings to the new Bi-directional Quick Shift system as well.

Purposeful Wheels and tyres

The V-Strom 1050DE takes advantage of wire-spoked wheels with aluminium rims to better endure the potential pounding when exploring trails and other rough surfaces. It also adopts a larger 21-inch front rim for greater stability and better control on gravel and flat dirt. Both wheels are shod with Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyres, which feature a semi-block tread pattern and custom-designed internal structure that delivers the solid traction and performance you want when exploring varied terrain and trails.

Optimised Suspension

KYB inverted front forks with 43mm inner tubes deliver a smooth, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics well suited to adventure riding. Fully adjustable, they allow you to match settings to your preference or intended use. The link-type Monoshock KYB rear suspension contributes to agility and stability, and its preload can be adjusted by simply turning the dial by hand. The V-Strom 1050DE suspension adopts a longer stroke, with 170mm of front and 169mm of rear travel. The suspension’s spring rate, valve, and piston settings are custom tuned for riding on unpaved surfaces.

Ergonomics & Seat for any terrain

Dedicated chassis geometry is designed to deliver greater stability and controllability on gravel or flat dirt, while providing a comfortable riding position and well-balanced front/rear weight distribution. The V-Strom 1050DE also adopts a fixed-height seat design that reduces weight while also achieving greater rigidity. This durable seat better stands up to input load when riding on unpaved surfaces, as well as to weight shifts as you change position to master the terrain. Optional higher (30mm) and lower (30mm) seats are also available from the Genuine Accessories range.

Adventure Ready Handlebars & Footpegs

The tapered aluminium handlebars for the V-Strom 1050DE are shaped to be comfortable to hold and engineered to offer the right degree of rigidity and optimal grip width to provide positive control, whether riding on or off paved roads. The V-Strom 1050DE handlebars specifically use thicker tubing and a softer grade aluminium so they flex just the right amount and better absorb bumps to make exciting runs on rough ground easier on your hands and arms. They also feature an even wider grip, 40mm total, that enhances controllability, particularly when standing on the pegs to negotiate rough surfaces. On the 1050DE those are wider, tougher steel footpegs designed to offer greater stability when standing while riding.

Comprehensive Standard Equipment

By helping protect the frame and other vulnerable parts in the event the bike is dropped, the standard-fit engine bar lends the rider greater confidence when riding on gravel or dirt. It is also useful for mounting the Genuine Accessory fog lamp set or other accessories. The V-Strom 1050DE adopts a rugged aluminium engine sump guard protector to match its tough image. A USB port built into the left side of the dash cluster supplies power for recharging smartphones and there is also a 12V DC outlet under the seat to charging other items too. Knuckle covers enhance the adventure styling of the machine while offering added protection from the weather, as well as protection from flying stones. The standard fitment centre stand brings added convenience and practicality for use during maintenance, loading, or parking on loose surfaces.

Reliable Stopping Power

A pair of Tokico radial mount monobloc callipers, each with four opposed pistons, act on 310mm floating-mount discs to provide reliable stopping power in the front. These work in conjunction with the rear disc brake as part of the ABS that helps prevent the wheels from locking up, for more stable braking. The advanced braking system for the 1050 also features linked brakes, lean-angle sensitive ABS, switchable ABS, and a host of other breaking technologies supported by the 6 axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).

Adventure spec Screen

The V-Strom 1050 screen shape and size are designed to maximise comfort when touring for long distances. It features 50mm of vertical adjustment performed using a quick release handle. The screen was tested extensively to ensure it will effectively cut wind noise and prevent buffeting for a more comfortable and less tiring riding experience.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS)

Suzuki’s extensive collection of electronic rider aids were developed to assist and help you optimise performance, comfort and enjoyment to match your changing riding needs, preferences as well as difference weather and terrain. By making the V-Strom 1050DE feel more controllable, predictable, fun to use and less tiring to operate, these systems help you ride with greater satisfaction, confidence and peace of mind, whether touring for long distances, carrying gear, or leaving paved roads behind to explore new horizons and trails.

Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) & Gravel (G) Mode

Designed to help prevent the rear wheel from slipping, this system reduces stress and fatigue while instilling greater confidence in controlling your ride. You can select from 3 modes to control how quickly the system takes effect and how proactive it is in limiting wheel spin, or you can opt to run with it turned off.

In addition to the 3 existing traction control modes or off, the V-Strom 1050DE features a new Gravel (G) mode setting that retards ignition timing and allows a limited amount of slip when riding on unpaved surfaces to help the rider better negotiate gravel roads

Bi-directional Quick Shift System

This standard-equipment feature lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever. When activated, the system delivers clean, silky smooth upshifts with uninterrupted acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and smooth, thanks in part to automatic hands-free blipping and engine braking working together harmoniously.

Cruise Control System

Cruise control reduces fatigue when travelling long distances at constant speeds by letting you maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. The system allows settings when riding in 2nd gear or higher at engine speeds between 2,000rpm and 7,000rpm, which translates to vehicle speeds of roughly 15mph to 100mph. The handy resume function re-engages the system and returns to the most recent speed setting after cancelling.
