2025 V-STROM 1050

The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1037cc, 90-degree, V-twin engine delivers more horsepower with the same level of torque and fuel economy while achieving worldwide emissions compliance.

Both the exhaust and intake camshafts have increased valve lift timing with less overlap to boost engine power while reducing fuel consumption.

The V-STROM 1050 utilizes hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves. These valves help reduce temperature in the combustion chamber, improving flow efficiency and durability.

Each cylinder is fed by a large, 49mm electronically controlled Ride-by-Wire throttle body with a single butterfly valve that is opened and closed by its own independent motor for precise throttle control.

Precise idle control is key to the V-STROM’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts engine speed during takeoff and low-speed riding.

Twin iridium-type spark plugs are used in the Dual Spark Plug System to deliver a more condensed and hotter spark, and they last longer than conventional plugs.

the six-speed, close-ratio transmission have high gear ratios in first and sixth gear to smooth the shift action into second and higher gears. This also increases the sensation of acceleration to the rider when operating the throttle.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip to enable smooth downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch.

The RK-supplied O-ring style drive chain contains lubrication pre-packed between the pins and rollers for quiet, reliable operation.

V-STROM 1050 continues to use its proven aluminum, frame chassis architecture for adventure touring setup with a focus on comfort and riding pleasure for long-distance on-road outings.

V-STROM’s beak flows into a vertically stacked LED headlight with a unique rectangular shape. The headlight effectively illuminates the road surfaces and surrounding areas.

A windscreen that is height adjustable by hand, was developed through extensive wind-tunnel testing to reduce wind noise and buffeting to the rider.

The fully adjustable 43mm KYB inverted front fork provides a sporty, yet plush ride in diverse conditions. Additionally the single-shock, link-style rear suspension also features rebound-damping force adjustment.

Radial-mounted, ABS** equipped Tokico four-piston front brake calipers are mated with 310mm floating-mount dual discs and a 260mm outer diameter disc with a NISSIN-supplied single-piston caliper provide stopping power to the V-STROM 1050.

The lightweight 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels are shod with Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 radial tires that deliver nimble handling and positive grip, while providing a smooth ride and compliance when touring for long distances.

The V-STROM’s instrument panel uses a 5-inch, full-color TFT LCD screen. The V-STROM 1050’s TFT display was the first of its kind on a Suzuki Adventure motorcycle.

LED lighting all the way around the V-STROM 1050 granting low electrical draw, and excellent durability.

V-STROM 1050’s Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) includes the Motion Track Anti-lock** and Combination Brake System, Hill Hold Control System, Slope Dependent Control System, and Load Dependent Control System that assists braking performance in a variety of conditions.

The S.I.R.S. suite also includes the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), new Cruise Control and Bi-Directional Quick Shift systems, Traction Control System*, Suzuki Easy Start System and Low RPM Assist System. Each element of S.I.R.S. provides V-STROM 1050 riders with stress-free use and convenience during long-distance tours, commuting, or pleasure riding.

The V-STROM 1050 has the trim, distinctive styling that incorporates elements of both Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big. Since its introduction by Suzuki, the characteristic off-road beak design has become an integral feature of a modern Adventure-style motorcycle.

A sure-footed center-stand and a durable under cover (cowl) are standard feature on the V-STROM 1050.

The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon capacity and its shape and protective cover have been designed for a slim tank-and-seat junction for rider comfort and to help the rider's legs reach the ground more easily.

The mirrors’ design complements the V-STROM’s styling while proving an excellent view of objects behind the rider and wide, aluminum footrests with thick rubber pads dampen vibration while helping the rider comfortably maneuver the V-STROM 1050.

A wide variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories for V-STROM 1050 owners are available, including aluminum or plastic side and top cases, heated grips, low-profile seats, accessory bar, auxiliary lights, tank bags, body & chassis protectors, graphics kits & rim decals, and a large selection of Suzuki logo apparel.
