The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure models offer riders the freedom to explore the great outdoors, whether they prefer long-distance pavement-oriented touring or gravel roads and country trails. The V-STROM 1050DE is powered by a proven V-twin engine that rides in a chassis with increased ground clearance, accommodating a new 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke-style wheels with more aggressive Dunlop Adventure tires. It has a longer rake and wheelbase for more control on gravel roads and dirt trails, a longer suspension stroke to better absorb bumps on rough surfaces, as well as wide steel foot pegs and a large diameter tapered-aluminum handlebar.

The V-STROM 1050DE also features a new 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel that displays the expanded S.I.R.S. settings, including a new Gravel (G) mode to the Suzuki Traction Control System and the ability to switch off the rear ABS. Its Suzuki Dakar-inspired styling is further emphasized by its unique front fender, aluminum engine protector, and rugged accessory bar.

The V-STROM 1050DE’s emphasis on all-terrain capability is unparalleled, offering riders the value and performance that is synonymous with the name “V-Strom.” Its features include the G (Gravel) mode, which retards ignition timing and allows a limited amount of slip when riding on unpaved surfaces to help the rider better negotiate gravel roads. It also has a Rear ABS Off mode, which allows the rider to switch off the rear ABS for improved controllability on gravel and other unpaved surfaces. In addition, the Motion Track Brake System has been optimized for the larger front wheel, different chassis geometry, and increased suspension travel, providing minimal intervention in Mode 1 and more proactive intervention in Mode 2.

In conclusion, the V-STROM 1050DE is an exceptional adventure motorcycle that combines performance, reliability, and comfort, making it the ideal ride for those who seek adventure and exploration. With its advanced features and unparalleled all-terrain capability, the V-STROM 1050DE is sure to take riders on an unforgettable journey, awakening their spirit of adventure and providing them with the thrill they seek.
