Clutch

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

Proven 1037cm3 V-twin engine features distinctive deep rumble in the low rpm range, strong and linear torque in the mid rpm range, and maximum power in the high rpm range.

Suzuki Dual Spark Technology helps maximise combustion efficiency.

Hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves to help reduce temperature in the combustion chamber.

The updated six-speed transmission realises smoother shifting and improved controllability.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) realises a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.

The V-STROM 1050 adopts a new stronger drive chain with sturdier links and pins.

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S)

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S) features a collection of advanced electronic rider assist systems. The rider can freely choose the settings of each system to best suit their level of skill and experience, and to optimise performance characteristics for the riding conditions and road surface at any given moment.

These systems  help make the V-STROM 1050 more controllable, predicable, and less tiring to operate.  Each system has been designed and thoroughly tested to operate the way a rider expects, providing an exciting riding experience that inspires confidence.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)

SDMS is designed to offer the rider a choice between three different modes that change output characteristics to match riding conditions or preferences. 

Mode A  (Active) provides the sharpest response at low to mid-range speeds and reaches the top of its power curve at lower rpm. Settings for torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver the exciting acceleration and fully leverage the V-twin engine’s power.  It is well suited for enjoying spirited runs on winding roads in good weather.

Mode B  (Basic) reaches the same level of maximum output, but features  a more linear curve with slightly softer throttle response at low to mid-range speeds. Labelled as the perfect setting for touring, this mode aims to make the motorcycle more controllable  and instil confidence when accelerating, and to make it a good fit for a wide range of rider styles and road conditions in everyday riding.

Mode C  (Comfort) provides the softest throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, delivering power in smoother linear fashion while still reaching the same level of maximum power output. The gentler throttle response and limited torque production as the throttle is opened makes more obedient and controllable when riding on wet or otherwise slippery surfaces, when road conditions are bad, or even when the rider wants to relax and enjoy a ride home after a long outing.

Cruise Control System

Cruise control is a convenient system that allows the rider to maintain a set speed without operating the throttle. This helps reduce fatigue when touring long distances, particularly when travelling at constant speeds. Once the SET mark appears on the colour TFT LCD instrument screen, the rider can easily adjust the speed setting upward or downward using the (plus or minus) select switch on the left handlebar.

 

Motion Track Brake System

This system enhances control by allowing ABS activation not only when travelling in a straight line, but also when the bike is leaning whilst cornering. Intervention is determined by monitoring input from the front and rear wheel speed sensors along with vehicle posture data from the IMU.  The compact hydraulic ABS unit controls brake pressure in response to the data received. The bike is therefore less likely to try to push itself upright or lose traction, instead maintaining its radius and lean angle to better trace the rider’s intended line through the corner.  Even if the rider panics and brakes heavily in a corner, the system assists in maintaining stability while slowing or stopping the motorcycle. 

Combined Brake System

Braking confidence is further enhanced via the Combined Braking System which provides braking power to the both front and rear brakes when operating the front brake lever.

Two-mode ABS

This system allows the rider to select between two levels of ABS intervention. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively. 

Radial  mount brake calipers

Tokico radial mount monobloc four-piston front brake calipers are mated with 310mm floating dual discs to provide sure stopping power and controllable braking performance.  The rear brake sports a 260mm disc and matched with a single-piston pin-slide caliper. 

 
  • 6-Axis IMU

    Integrating accelerometers and gyroscopes into a single compact package, the 6-axis Bosch IMU measures angular rate and acceleration to constantly monitor pitch, roll, and yaw.

  • Bi-directional Quick Shift System

    Allows the rider to shift up or down without needing to operate the clutch or throttle. The system delivers clean, silky-smooth upshifts with uninterrupted acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and smooth, thanks to the automatic hands-free blipping function.

  • Gravel Mode (DE Only)

    The V-STROM 1050DE features an additional G (Gravel) traction control mode that allows a certain amount of rear-wheel slip when riding on unpaved surfaces. Not recommended for use on paved surfaces.

  • Rear ABS Deactivation (DE Only)

    For improved controllability on gravel and other unpaved surfaces, the rear ABS can be turned off on the V-STROM 1050DE. The system is also optimised to work in conjunction with the new 21-inch front wheel.

Breakout Performance Backed by Solid Core Strength 

The V-STROM 1050’s compact, lightweight aluminium chassis is engineered to maximise agility, comfort, utility and reassuring riding pleasure.  Every aspect reflects a focus on great handling and control in a broad range of real-world conditions. 

The latest generation offers riders the choice between optimisations geared towards their preferences for pursuing different types of adventure riding. 

The V-STROM 1050 is engineered with a stronger focus on maximising comfort and riding pleasure on  sealed surfaces whereas the V-STROM 1050DE aims to  enhance performance and control when exploring off the beaten track. 

Optimised Suspension 

43mm KYB inverted fully adjustable front forks  deliver a smooth, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics well  suited to adventure touring.   The link-type KYB rear shock contributes to agility and stability, and its preload can be adjusted by simply turning the dial by hand.  This is particularly beneficial when preparing to ride two-up with a pillion or when carrying a load.

5-inch TFT LCD Multi-information Display 

A new custom 5-inch full-colour TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel features clearly legible information displays, keeping the rider fully informed on the motorcycle’s systems and settings, and supplying real-time operating status information. 

The tachometer doubles as a programmable RPM indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a preset speed. 

The display setting can be manually switched between  Day (white) and Night  (black) displays or this can be done automatically, ensuring visibility is maximised at any hour and in any riding situation. 

USB Port

A USB port built into the left side of the multi-function instrument panel allows for smartphone recharging. 

12V DC Outlet

A 12V DC outlet located under the pillion seat  can be used to charge or power a variety of devices.
