V-STROM 1050DE (with accessories)
Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced two V-STROM models for overseas markets, the V-STROM 1050 with updated features, and the V-STROM 1050DE, a newly developed variation. Sales for both models will begin in January 2023, primarily in Europe and North America.
The highlights of the updated features of the V-STROM 1050 include, the bi-directional quick-shift system that allows up and down shifting without operating the clutch or throttle, and the enhanced S.I.R.S (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System) electronic control system for various riding conditions, now with the upgraded cruise control system allowing wider speed range and gear positions. In addition, the 5-inch color TFT LCD meter, displaying various information including the setting status of the S.I.R.S, has been adopted to improve the usability and convenience required for long-distance touring.
The newly Introduced V-STROM 1050DE adopts the G (gravel) mode in the traction control system, and cancellable ABS for the rear brake, engineered specifically for stable and comfortable riding over gravel roads so riders can enjoy long-distance touring over different road surfaces. The model’s dimensions are specifically refined for gravel roads with large diameter 21-inch wheels on the front and semi-block pattern tires on the front and rear. In addition, it features shock-absorbing handlebars wider by 20mm on each side than standard models, accessory bars, and aluminum engine protectors to guard the lower part of the engine from stones flying up from the ground.
