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.
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.
