2024 Suzuki V

Introducing the 2024 Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE Adventure…

The 2024 V-STROM 1050DE models are engineered so you can conquer the unexpected. Continuing the reputation of a reliable sports adventure tourer, the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure delivers a stronger connection between rider and machine.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s proven V-twin engine rides in a chassis with significant ground clearance to accommodate a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke-style wheels with Dunlop Adventure tires. Compared to the base V-STROM 1050, the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure has a longer rake and wheelbase for better handling 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.

Thanks to the renowned Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), V-STROM 1050DE Adventure riders have even more comfort and control over varied terrain and conditions. The 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel clearly displays the S.I.R.S. settings that include a Gravel (G) mode in the Suzuki Traction Control System* and the ability to switch off the rear ABS**.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s Pearl Vigor Blue and Pearl Brilliant White body colors further emphasize the aggressive look of its Suzuki Dakar-inspired styling with its unique front fender, aluminum engine protector, and rugged accessory bar. Ready to explore to the ends of the earth, the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure is also equipped with Suzuki’s rugged aluminum pannier set to carry your gear with ease while the standard LED fog lamp set lights up each new trail.

No other ADV motorcycle can match the 2024 V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s emphasis on all-terrain capability with world traveler pedigree and the value that is synonymous with the name “V-Strom”.

*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from losing grip.**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s ADV-themed styling retains Suzuki’s original rally-beak look, paying homage to past Suzuki Dakar Rally bikes and the DR-Big large-displacement DualSport.

Versatile for any ride, the 1037cc, V-twin engine produces more horsepower than ever before, retaining its strong pull in the lower-rpm range and good fuel economy while complying with worldwide emissions standards.

Ready to go off-pavement, the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) now includes a bi-directional quick shift system, a new Gravel (G) mode to the Suzuki Traction Control System* and the ability to switch off the rear ABS**.

An all-new, 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel features a display that is clearly legible at nighttime or in bright sun. A USB port to the side of the instrument panel supplies power for smartphones or other accessories like a GPS.

The V-Strom’s narrow and nimble chassis legacy continues with a durable, twin-spar aluminum frame coupled to a new, longer more rigid swingarm that supports the new longer suspension resulting in more ground clearance.

The longer, fully adjustable, inverted fork holds radially mounted four-piston brake calipers that grasp dual brake rotors mounted to a 21-inch spoke-style front wheel carrying an aggressive Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR Adventure tire.

ENGINE FEATURES

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.

The perfect primary balance provided by the 90-degree V-twin design negates the need for any balancer shafts or rubber mounting, as the engine has smooth power pulses.

The large-bore, high-compression pistons were engineered with the use of FEM analysis to achieve ideal rigidity, weight, and improved durability.

These pistons move within Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–plated cylinder bores that are integrated into the upper crankcase for low weight, increased durability, reduced friction, and excellent heat dissipation.

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 1050DE and 1050DE Adventure are the first Suzuki motorcycles to employ hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves. These valves help reduce temperature in the combustion chamber, improving flow efficiency and durability.

The Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle system is updated to take advantage of the powerful 32-bit ECM to control the action of the throttle valves with more finely tuned settings that better balance the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics.

The V-STROM’s electronic throttle system precisely maintains a stable engine idle under all conditions.

Each cylinder has a 10-hole fuel injector, located downstream of the throttle body on the intake manifold, which creates good fuel atomization for superior combustion efficiency and low fuel consumption.

The air cleaner box uses specially designed, elongated intake funnels to boost torque at lower engine speeds to help achieve the V-Twin engine’s unique power characteristics.

The transistorized digital ignition system independently fires the dual spark plugs in each cylinder head for more complete combustion by igniting the mixture at the ideal moment.

The single-silencer exhaust configuration reduces weight and has a low center of gravity to aid handling, maneuverability, and luggage mounting.

Matched to the efficient exhaust, the Suzuki Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) system injects fresh air into the exhaust ports to satisfy a variety of US and international emission standards without sacrificing performance.

The V-STROM’s radiator has 15% increased cooling capacity (compared to prior generation V-Strom 1000) to accommodate high engine output. Coolant temperature is stabilized via a thermostatically controlled cooling fan.

A liquid-cooled oil cooler is located where the oil filter is attached to the engine. This compact, lightweight cooler takes up less space than a conventional oil cooler while reducing lubrication oil temperature.

A durable bronze finish paint is applied to the cylinder head covers, clutch cover, magneto cover, and water pump case for a striking contrast with the black crankcase.

Replaceable plastic shields protect engine parts, such as the clutch cover, from scuffs from the rider’s boots.

The six-speed, close-ratio transmission is updated with higher gear ratios in first and sixth gear that smooth the shift action into second and higher gears. This also increases the sensation of acceleration to the rider when opening the throttle. The updated gear ratios also contribute to the smooth operation of the new Bi-directional Quick Shift system.

The transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip to enable smooth downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch, making the clutch lever pull light and precise.

Riding on durable steel sprockets, a new stronger and longer O-ring style drive chain (RK525 x 120L) contains lubrication pre-packed between the pins and rollers for quiet, reliable operation.

CHASSIS FEATURES

For the 2024 V-STROM 1050 models, Suzuki decided to create a new variation on proven chassis architecture to offer riders a choice of optimization geared toward their intended use or riding preferences.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure continues 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.

Augmented by Pearl Vigor Blue/ Pearl Brilliant White paint and complementary graphics, the Adventure’s beak flows into a vertically stacked LED headlight with a unique rectangular shape, then upward to a sporty windscreen. The headlight effectively illuminates the road surfaces and surrounding areas, so the rider has an excellent view of what is ahead.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure receives a unique, smaller windscreen designed to maximize visibility when riding on dirt trails and on gravel roads. Over three inches (80 mm) shorter and slightly narrower than the V-STROM 1050 windscreen, it has been developed to reduce wind buffeting to the rider’s helmet.

A mounting bar just below the rider’s eye level is part of the windscreen mount, providing a good place to position accessories like a GPS for navigation.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure has a new 1.57-inch wider (40 mm overall, 20 mm per side) tapered aluminum handlebar. Cast in thicker tubing from a softer grade of aluminum than the V-STROM 1050 handlebar, this construction allows more flex when riding on unpaved surfaces and better shock absorption for greater comfort. In addition, the wider grip position provides enhanced control, particularly when standing on the foot pegs to negotiate rough terrain.

Both the clutch and front brake levers have adjustment knobs so the rider can quickly set them to a comfortable reach. The shifter and rear brake pedal can also be adjusted to the rider’s preference.

The mirrors feature a design that complements the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s styling while proving an excellent view of objects behind the rider.

Wide, steel footrests help the rider comfortably maneuver the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure on diverse types of roads. Rubber inserts damp vibration but can be removed so the rider’s boots can have even more grip of the pegs.

The slender chassis, thanks to the narrow V-twin engine design, fuel tank and trim seat, helps the rider’s legs reach the ground more easily than other models in the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s category.

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.

A sizable portion of the V-Strom legacy is its durable, twin-spar aluminum frame that balances weight and rigidity for optimal handling on all types of roads.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure uses a new sub-frame with stronger seat rails and battery and rear fender brackets that better withstand the shocks from riding on unpaved surfaces.

The rider’s seat features a fixed-height design with a new bottom shape that increases rigidity while reducing weight by 1.5 lbs. (706 g, a 37% reduction in mass).

The 43mm KYB inverted front fork delivers a controlled, yet plush ride in diverse conditions. The fork legs have adjustable spring preload plus compression and rebound-damping force adjusters.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure uses a new three-piece front fender assembly that combines the effectiveness of a conventional V-STROM fender with the protection of fork guards like those used on an MX bike.

Movement of the new cast aluminum swingarm is controlled by a single rear shock with remote, hydraulic spring preload adjustment so adjusting for cargo or a passenger takes just seconds. The single-shock, link-style rear suspension also features rebound-damping force adjustment.

Because of the suspension changes, front wheel diameter, and chassis geometry, the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure ground clearance is 1.0 in. more than the V-STROM 1050. This helps the motorcycle ride over uneven terrain without touching the bottom of the frame to the ground.

Radial-mounted Tokico four-piston front brake calipers are mated with 310mm floating-mount dual discs. These efficient calipers are connected to the Motion Track Anti-lock** and Combination Brake System for strong stopping performance.

The rear brake combines a 260mm outer diameter disc with a NISSIN-supplied single-piston caliper that provides fine braking control at all road speeds.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure rides on spoke-style wheels and adopts a 21-inch aluminum, tube-type front rim for greater stability and control when riding on unpaved surfaces (the rear wheel is a tubeless type).

Because of the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure higher stance chassis, it is equipped with longer, model-unique side- and center-stands. The sturdy center-stand is a standard feature that aids the rider when servicing the motorcycle or loading luggage.

A large, resin luggage rack incorporates passenger grab handles while providing a flat and level platform for cargo or the mounting of Suzuki accessory top cases.

Providing a sturdy mount for the LED fog lights, plus reducing damage in a tip over, a sturdy accessory bar is mounted to the V-STROM 1050DE Adventure.

Especially designed for off-pavement use, a new aluminum plate engine protector shields the front and bottom of the frame, exhaust header, and engine from trail debris.

Included are Suzuki’s ADV-style, 37-liter aluminum panniers that attach to powder-coated, black finish carriers.

**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

ELECTRICAL FEATURES

The 2024 V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s instrument panel uses a new-generation 5-inch, full-color TFT LCD screen. This TFT display is the first of its kind on a Suzuki Adventure motorcycle.

This high-quality instrument panel is set into the upper fairing above the handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris. The TFT panel, itself, features a scratch-resistant surface, and an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.

The brightness adjustable TFT display delivers a wide range of useful information, keeping the rider fully aware of all the bike’s systems, settings, and real-time operating status.

The TFT panel provides operational information in an easily recognizable way:

The main TFT panel is flanked by LED indicators, including:

The charging system uses a durable, three-phase stator with an open-style regulator/rectifier that reduces mechanical drag and heat while producing higher output at lower engine speeds. A high-capacity, maintenance-free style battery and fuses are easily accessible under the seat.

A USB-type accessory slot is conveniently located to the left of the instrument panel. This fused slot can provide up to 5.0 VDC at a maximum current of 2.0A. The slot is ideal for powering a GPS unit or charging mobile devices.

A SAE 12-volt, 36W DC socket is located under the passenger seat (electrical accessory wattage should not exceed 12W when the engine is operated a low speeds). This convenient outlet can be used to charge or power a range of electrical devices.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s fairing features a stacked, rectangular LED headlight for excellent road and trail illumination while matching Suzuki’s Dakar Rally bike styling.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure has lightweight and low-draw LED turn signals that are brighter than the signals used on the prior generation V-Strom models.

The rear tail and brake light is an LED type with a clear lens that offers higher visibility, low electrical draw, and excellent durability.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure also includes a set of Suzuki’s LED fog lamps that provide additional road illumination and motorcycle visibility to other traffic while drawing less watts as compared to conventional lights.

*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.

**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
