What Real Living Feels Like

DL1050DJ M3 DE VSTROM: 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.

VSTROM DE FEATURES

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.

Transmission

Optimised Ratios

The six-speed transmission features updated gear ratios. The revised ratio for first gear makes shifting from first through to fifth smoother and improves acceleration. Sixth gear was also optimised for greater comfort at highway speeds.

Clutch

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)

The advanced slipper clutch delivers a light clutch lever pull, reducing rider fatigue. It also ensures positive power transfer when accelerating and smoother deceleration when downshifting, preventing rear-wheel hopping.

Engine

Forged Pistons

The V-twin engines employs highly-rigid, lightweight forged pistons. The heads are anodized and conical machining inside the wrist pin holes transfer load and mitigate stress transferred to the crowns for enhanced durability.

Fuel System

Electronic Throttle Bodies

Each of the two cylinders is fed by independent 49mm large-bore electronically-controlled throttle bodies. The butterfly valve of each throttle body is open and closed independently to achieve precise throttle control.

Valve Train

Sodium-Filled Exhaust Valves

Hollow sodium-filled exhuast valves help reduce the temperature in the combustion chamber. This not only results in better loading efficiency and improved feeling, it also contributes to improving the durability of the valves themselves.

Ignition

Suzuki Dual Spark Technology

Each cylinder utilises two iridium spark plugs. The primary plug fires throughout the engine's rpm range, while the secondary plug helps improve combustion efficiency and power delivery at low rpm.

Transmission

Optimised Ratios

The six-speed transmission features updated gear ratios. The revised ratio for first gear makes shifting from first through to fifth smoother and improves acceleration. Sixth gear was also optimised for greater comfort at highway speeds.

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.

Lighting

LED Lighting

Vertically stacked LED headlights provide the rider with a clearer view of the road ahead.

Lighting

LED Indicators & Tail Light

LED indicators and LED tail unit unit ensure clear visibility and practical durability.

Ergonomics

Intuitive Handlebar Switches

The ergonomic switch layout maximises operating ease and efficiency, allowing the rider to access controls while remaining focuses on the road ahead.

Styling

Body Graphics

Decals for the V-STROM 1050 are designed to appear as the wings of a phoenix-like apparition, while the stripes used on the V-STROM 1050DE express speed and a sense of forward motion.

Intake

Air Cleaner Box

The elongated intake pipe for the air cleaner box contributes to increasing torque production at low rpm and helps achieve the V-twin engine's unique power output characteristics.

Ergonomics

Aluminium Handlebars

The aluminium handlebar flex characteristics have been optimised for paved surfaced (V-STROM 1050) and unpaved surfaces (V-STROM 1050DE). The 1050DE bars are also wider by 20mm per side to provide greater control when traversing rough surfaces.

Fit & Finish

Stylish Mirrors

The mirrors compliment the V-STROM 1050's tough-looking styling with a design that also provides excellent visual confirmation of following traffic.

Protection

Accessory Bar

By helping protect the frame and other vulnerable parts in the event the bike is dropped, the standard-equipment accessory bar lends the rider greater confidence when riding on gravel and flat dirt.
