ENGINE FEATURES

V-STROM 1050DE Adventure features a proven design with 1037 cm3 V-twin engine with a deep rumble in the low rpm range, strong and linear torque in the mid rpm range and maximum power in the high rpm range. Other performance-enhancing technologies:

• New hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves to help reduce temperature in the combustion chamber  – NEW!
• New stronger drive chain with sturdier links and pins – NEW!
• Updated six-speed transmission realizes smoother shifting and improved controllability – UPDATE
• Dual Spark Technology to maximize combustion efficiency
• 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

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (SIRS)

Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) is a system that better supports the rider in matching performance to the riding conditions, surface or preferred riding style. For the V-STROM 1050DE, emphasis is on riding unpaved roads, so SIRS offers terrain-specific features.

• Bi-directional Quick Shift system (with ON/OFF) provides quicker and smoother operation without the need to operate the clutch lever – NEW!
• Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) features a new G (Gravel) model to better negotiate gravel roads – NEW!
• Ability to switch off rear ABS for better performance on gravel – NEW!
• Ride-by-wire electronic throttle to respond faithfully to the rider’s intentions with a slightly stiffer grip action when opening the throttle to deliver greater controllability and an even more natural feel – UPDATE
• Cruise Control System is updated to allow for a broader range of speed and gear settings – UPDATE
• 3 mode settings + off allow the rider to control the performance characteristics
• Motion Track Brake System allows ABS activation when the bike is leaning into a corner
• Hill Hold Control System helps ensure smoother restarts after stopping on an incline
• Slope Dependent Control System provides more stable braking when travelling downhill
• Load Dependent Control System supports optimal braking when carrying a load
• Suzuki Easy Start System starts the engine with a quick press of the starter button
• Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist function helps maintain engine idle speed for smoother and easier starts

THE V-STROM DL1050DE CHASSIS

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure has custom chassis geometry with a longer rake and wheelbase to improve stability and controllability when riding on unpaved surfaces. The twin-spar aluminum alloy frame has updated seat rails that better support the input load from unpaved terrain. With fully adjustable KYB inverted front forks and adjustable link-type rear suspension, the ride is smooth, controllable, agile and stable. For sure stopping power and controllability, V-STROM 1050DE has four-piston radial-mount front brake callipers mated with 310mm floating-mount dual discs.

V-STROM 1050DE ELECTRONIC FEATURES

V-STROM 1050DE Adventure features a new 5-inc colour TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel with both day and night visibility features for easy operability in all light conditions. A USB port is built into the left side of the meter cluster and a 12V DC outlet is supplied under the seat to charge devices.

LED LIGHTING

It also features full LED lighting with both the front stacked headlight for a clear view of what’s ahead, along with compact LED position lights, turn signals and tail light to ensure visibility.

STCS - Suzuki Traction Control System

Suzuki’s traction control system continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear position sensor, and quickly reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected. Engine output is controlled by managing ignition timing and air delivery to ensure smoother traction control operation. As a result, the rider can enjoy more comfortable long-distance riding, with less stress and fatigue.

SDMS - Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2 maps in the case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. Selecting and switching between mode settings is by a switch on the handlebar; the selected mode setting is displayed on the tachometer. The feature helps the rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations. * The technology is used in GSX-R1000, 750, 600, DL1050 and Hayabusa.

Easy Start System

On a normal motorcycle when starting the engine, the rider needs to press and hold the starter switch until the engine fires up. With the Suzuki Easy Start, all you need to do is one quick push of the starter switch, just like starting a modern car engine. The ECM recognizes the signals and keeps the starter motor working for a specified time.

Low RPM Assist

Low RPM Assist uses the ISC mechanism to help raise engine rpm slightly in launching and riding at low speed. This feature helps smoother operation when pulling away and when riding at slow speeds, this means it’s easier to pull away and easier to control the engine in stop-start traffic.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM

Bi-Directional Quick Shift System lets you shift up or down without the need to operate the clutch or throttle for seamless shifting. When activated, Quick Shift automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration when you shift up. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio.

RIDE BY WIRE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM

Not only is this new cable-free system simpler, lighter and more compact than a mechanical throttle, it provides light, natural, linear response to throttle operation. Precision control over throttle valve action, as realized by leveraging the onboard 32-bit ECM, also makes it possible to introduce other advanced systems that enhance riding ease and controllability.

Gravel Mode

Adds a new gravel mode to Suzuki Traction Control System help riders more confidently navigate gravel roads.

2-Mode ABS

Allows the rider to shift between two levels of ABS intervention. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively.

Rear ABS Off Mode

Allows the rider to switch off rear ABS for improved performance on gravel and other unpaved surfaces.
