CHASSIS & COMPONENTS

PURPOSEFUL WHEELS AND TYRES

The V-Strom 1050 rides on 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels shod with Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 radial tyres. The 110/80R19 front and 150/70R17 rear tyres contribute to agile handling and positive grip, whether the road surface is dry or wet. They provide a smooth ride and greater comfort when touring for long distances and continue to inspire confidence even when you continue your adventure beyond where the pavement ends.

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 1050 suspension adopts a stroke, with 160mm of front and 160mm of rear travel, perfect for on-road adventures or lighter use on unpaved roads.

PROVEN ALUMINIUM FRAME

The pursuit of building high-performance aluminium frames has been an integral part of Suzuki’s engineering DNA for decades, and the frame for the V-Strom 1050 remains true to this heritage. It incorporates aluminium castings and extruded aluminium sections to lend the right amount of suppleness and strength to an overall rigid structure. The result is a trim, light and strong frame of tried and tested reliability that delivers excellent straight-line stability, handles brilliantly and is easy to manoeuvre, wherever your journey takes you.

ERGONOMICS & SEAT FOR THE LONG-HAUL

Dedicated chassis geometry is designed to deliver greater levels of comfort, stability, and control on paved surfaces. The V-Strom 1050 also features an independent rider and pillion seat design that is both visually appealing and achieves the right level of firmness to provide plenty of comfort with less fatigue on long rides. The rider seat height can be raised 20mm using an included height risers stored beneath the pillion seat. While an Optional lower (30mm) seat is also available from the Genuine Accessories range.

HANDLEBARS & FOOTPEGS WITH ADDED COMFORT

The V-Strom 1050 continues to use the proven aluminium tapered handlebars of its predecessor; this extends to a different width and grade of aluminium compared to the 1050DE. These bars are shaped to be comfortable over long tours and on sportier road rides. The V-Strom 1050 is fitted with rubber-covered aluminium footpegs that provide additional comfort when touring for long distances, rather than the steel off-road orientated items of the 1050DE.

COMPREHENSIVE STANDARD EQUIPMENT

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.³ 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. At the rear, luggage mounts for the integrated accessory panniers can be found as well, in addition to the stylised plastic belly pan. The 1050 also includes rider seat adjustment (20mm higher) and screen adjustment of 50mm too as standard.

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).

STYLING & DESIGN

COLOUR TFT DISPLAY

The V-Strom 1050 uses a new custom 5-inch colour TFT display that features clearly legible information displays. The high-quality display keeps you fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings and supplies vital real time operating status information. The tachometer does double duty as a programmable rpm indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a pre-set speed, and another new function displays large pop-up alerts and warnings. Manual or automatic switching settings for the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximise visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.

DESIGN IS IN OUR DNA

The DR-Z800 desert racer made design history when Suzuki entered it in the 1988 Paris-Dakar Rally, introducing a unique new concept to the rally scene that remains popular with motorcyclist today. The DR-Z was compact, light and tough as nails. One of its most striking design elements was the radical new design expression of the prominent “beak” out front. As evidenced by its modern interpretation of the “beak” design, The new V-Strom 1050 remains true to this heritage.
