2021 Suzuki V-Strom 1050A

EXPLORATION HAS NO LIMITS

The distinctive styling incorporates elements of both Suzukis legendary DR-Z desert racer and the large off-road model DR-BIG. The characteristic beak design first adopted by Suzuki stays true to Suzukis heritage while also further evolving the design to be more aggressive and bolder for the new generation V-STROM.

Features may include:

• DESIGNING THE V-STROM 1050/XT

There is a new design featuring a vertically stacked headlight with a unique rectangular shape. The headlight clearly illuminates the road surfaces and shoulders for excellent visibility. The headlight unit is lightweight for excellent balance with the overall weight of the vehicle. The new model is equipped with aluminum tapered handlebars. The shape enhances the off-road style feel and is lightweight while maintaining high rigidity. The cylinder head, magneto cover, water pump case and clutch covers are finished with a bronze color for a beautiful contrast with the black engine body.

• SUZUKI DRIVE MODE SELECTOR (SDMS)

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector is a system that allows the rider to select from three different output characteristic modes (A, B, and C).*Not available for 35kw specs. The rider can use the instrument panel display and the rocker switch on the left handlebar control to change the menu and rider-aid settings. The left handlebar switch can also reset the trip meters.

• TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

An updated traction control system is used to let the rider be in control with more confidence in diverse conditions with less stress and fatigue. The traction control mode is increased to three modes plus off mode for diverse road conditions, or to match the riders preference more. The traction control system continuously monitors the front and rear wheel speed, throttle position, crank position and gear position. When wheel spin is detected, the system quickly controls power output by managing ignition timing and air delivery.

• RIDE-BY-WIRE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM

Much simpler, lighter and more compact than the previous mechanical throttle. There are no mechanical cables used and one is independently installed to both the front and rear cylinder. Ride-by-wire electronic throttle control system offers a light feeling of control that is natural and linear like a conventional throttle.

• THE REFINED V-TWIN ENGINE

The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1037cm3 90 V-twin engine further evolved. It meets new Euro 5 emission control standards while achieving high power of 79.0kW / 8,500rpm while maintaining low fuel consumption (4.9L / 100km). Also, a 35kW version has been added for the European Driving License Directive. The engine delivers deep rumble in the low rpm range, strong and linear torque in the mid-range and a maximum horsepower in the high rpm range with a smooth run up. This refined engine will support the rider to enjoy various situations such as city and rural roads, winding passes, flat dirt roads and highways.
