What Real Living Feels Like
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.
In contrast, the V-STROM 1050DE introduces several new features aimed at optimising performance on unpaved surfaces. These include the adoption of 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 rear ABS.

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.
Electrical
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.
-
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.
Chassis
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.
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.
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.
Features Comparison | V-STROM 1050 vs V-STROM 1050DE
Cast-aluminium wheels and adventure 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 nimbler handling and positive grip, while providing a smooth ride and greater comfort when touring for long distances.
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. The 90/90-21 Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyre in the front and 150/70R17 Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR in the rear feature a semi-block pattern and an internal structure designed exclusively for the V-STROM 1050DE. These new adventure tyres are built to provide solid performance on the road , as well as good grip and nimble handling when exploring gravel roads and trails.
Height-adjustable touring screen
The height-adjustable windscreen for the V-STROM 1050 helps reduce fatigue on long rides by cutting wind noise and preventing buffeting. With its shape and size defined by extensive wind tunnel testing, the screen can be adjusted by hand using a quick release handle providing the choice between 11 positions that cover a 50mm vertical range.
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. While 80mm shorter and slightly narrower than the V-STROM 1050 windscreen, it has been extensively tested to assure rider comfort and prevent wind buffeting.
Seats designed for comfort and performance
The rider and pillion seats are designed to achieve a comfortable upright riding position that reduces fatigue, even when touring for long distances. The height of the V-STROM 1050 rider seat can be adjusted upward by up to 20mm. Adjustment is performed using the included tool and the height riser stored beneath the pillion seat.
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%), it also achieves greater rigidity. This durable new seat better stands up to input load when riding on unpaved surfaces, as well as to weight shifts as the rider changes position. rider and pillion seats are designed to achieve a comfortable upright
Rubber-covered aluminium footpegs
The V-STROM 1050 is fitted with rubber-covered aluminium footpegs that are designed to withstand whatever punishment adventure riding dishes out, while at the same time providing comfort when touring for long distances.
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. The bank sensors are also lengthened to compensate for the increased size of the front wheel.
Plastic under cover
The V-STROM 1050 is fitted with a plastic under cover that matches its tough yet refined image.
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.
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.
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 by approximately 10% to support straight-line stability. 
Instruments & lighting
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.
