Since its inception in 2002, the V-STROM brand has attracted massive global fan-fare by providing owners with consummate comfort, convenience, reliability and enjoyment for money.
The latest generation V-STROM model line-up; the V-STROM 1050 and flagship V-STROM 1050DE convey Suzuki’s commitment to satisfying the needs of modern adventure riders, who want motorcycles built to take them wherever they wish to go.
“Ready to take on huge days and far from home on a mix of road and dirt in comfort.
I have long been a fan of the Suzuki and nothing has changed. I’m keen to take the 1050 DE on a much longer ride to get a more comprehensive feel for it. “ advlife.com.au
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 realizes smoother shifting and improved controllability.
Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) realizes a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.
The V-STROM 1050DE adopts a new stronger drive chain with sturdier links and pins.
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.
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 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.
Updated settings for the 2022 V-STROM 1050/DE allow the speed to be set when riding in 2nd gear or higher at engine speeds between 2,000rpm and 7,000rpm, which translates to vehicle speeds of roughly 25km/h to 160km/h. The handy resume function re-engages the system and accelerates to the most recent speed setting after cancelling.
The V-STROM 1050DE’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 1050DE aims to enhance performance and control when exploring off the beaten track.
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.
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.
A USB port built into the left side of the multi-function instrument panel allows for smartphone recharging.
A 12V DC outlet located under the pillion seat can be used to charge or power a variety of devices.
