What Real Living Feels Like

In contrast, the V-STROM 1050DE introduces several new features to optimise performance on unpaved surfaces. These include adopting a 21-inch wire-spoked wheel, longer rake and wheelbase enhancing controllability on gravel and flat dirt, increased suspension travel for better bump absorption, wider handlebars, wider steel footpegs, aluminium engine protection and an accessory bar as standard equipment. Also newly introduced Gravel [G] mode to the Suzuki Traction Control System and the ability to switch OFF the rear ABS.

An Engine That Aims To Please

The outstanding characteristics of a 90° V-twin engine make it the perfect fit for the V-STROM 1050. Its design provides perfect primary balance, with each of the two cylinders cancelling each vibration of the other.

Wire-spoked Wheels And Semi-block Pattern Tyres

The V-STROM 1050DE rides on wire-spoked wheels and adopts a 21-inch aluminium front rim for greater stability and better control when tearing up gravel roads. These new adventure tyres are built to provide solid performance on-road trails.

Tinted Sports Screen

The V-STROM 1050DE features a smaller, sporty tinted screen designed to maximise visibility when adventuring down country trails and on gravel roads. 80mm shorter and slightly narrower than the V-STROM 1050 windscreen.

Lightweight Seat Designed For Performance

The V-STROM 1050DE seat features a fixed-height design with a new bottom shape that not only reduces weight by 706g (37%) but also achieves greater rigidity. This durable new seat better stands up to input load when riding on unpaved surfaces.

Wider Steel Footpegs

The V-STROM 1050DE is fitted with wider, tough-looking steel footpegs designed to offer greater stability when standing on the pegs while riding. The rubber covers can also be removed for even more grip in slippery conditions.

Aluminium Engine Protector

The V-STROM 1050DE adopts a rugged-looking aluminium engine protector to match its tough image, as well as new side and centre stands designed to match the taller ground clearance of the 1050DE’s custom chassis geometry.

Heavy-duty Drive Chain

To achieve greater durability when riding on gravel roads and trails, the V-STROM 1050DE boasts a stronger drive chain with sturdier links and large-diameter pins.

Aluminium Swingarm

The V-STROM 1050DE adopts a new longer version of the proven rugged and lightweight swingarm design from the V-STROM 1050. While retaining the same level of vertical and lateral rigidity that provides nimble handling, it also increases torsional rigidity.
