POWERFUL V-TWIN ENGINE
The powerful 1037cm3 V-twin engine features strong linear torque in the mid rpm range and a free-revving nature that maximizes power output in the high rpm range. The engine also combines exceptionally strong pull especially in the lower rpm range with good fuel economy, all while complying with Euro 5 emissions standards.
Transmission
The six-speed transmission is optimized for smooth shifting from first through fifth gears, making acceleration fast and smooth, while the ratio for sixth gear makes riding at highway speeds more comfortable, enjoyable and easy to control.
Suzuki Dual Spark Technology
Utilizes two iridium spark plugs, one for each cylinder, which contributes to smooth power delivery, low fuel consumption, low emissions, linear throttle response, easy engine start-up, and stable idling.
Sodium-filled exhaust valves
Hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves help reduce the
temperature in the combustion chamber. This not only results in better loading efficiency and a better feeling to engine operation, it also contributes to improving
the durability of the valves.
Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)
SCAS delivers sure operation and a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce left hand fatigue. At the same time, it ensures positive power transfer when accelerating and smoother deceleration when downshifting, advantages it also brings to the new Bi-directional Quick Shift system as well.
Other Features
Highly-rigid, lightweight forged pistons engineered using FEM analysis achieve ideal rigidity, weight, and durability. The pistons move within Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–coated cylinder bores that are integrated into the upper crankcase for low weight, increased durability, reduced friction, and excellent heat dissipation.
Electronic Throttle Bodies do not use mechanical cables. The throttle feel is light, smooth, and linear. The butterfly valve of each throttle body is opened and closed independently to achieve more precise throttle control and help realize more stable idling.
The TI-ISC (Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control) is a key to the V-STROM’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts idle speed during standing starts and low-speed riding for smooth power delivery and less possibility of the engine stalling. Matched to the efficient exhaust system, the Suzuki Pulsed secondary AIR- injection (PAIR) system injects fresh air into the exhaust ports to optimize emissions control without sacrificing performance.
The radiator’s high cooling capacity is designed to accommodate the high engine output. Coolant temperature is stabilized via a thermostatically controlled cooling fan.
To accent the engine, a bronze finish is applied to the cylinder head covers, clutch cover, magneto cover, and water pump case for a striking contrast with the black crankcase.
Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S)
Suzuki’s robust collection of the latest electronic systems was developed to assist and help you optimize performance characteristics to match your changing riding needs and preferences. By making the V-STROM 1050 feel more controllable, predictable, and less tiring to operate, these systems help you ride with greater confidence and peace of mind, whether touring for long distances, carrying gear, or riding with a passenger.
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)
Mode A (Active)
Delivers the sharpest throttle response as you open thethrottle. Torque characteristics are finely tuned todeliver exciting acceleration as the throttle is opened.
Mode B (Basic)
Features softer throttle response and a more linearpower delivery curve as you open the throttle. Settings are tuned to help make the bike more controllable anda good fit for everyday riding.
Mode C (Comfort)
Offers yet softer throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics. This mode is useful when riding on wet or slippery surfaces.
Freely choose among three different power output characteristic modes to best match varying riding conditions or your preferences. While all three ultimately deliver maximum engine output, finer control over the level of throttle response and torque characteristics, especially when turning the throttle grip between a slightly open position to when it reaches the top of the mid-speed range under acceleration, empowers you to ride with greater confidence and pleasure.
Cruise Control System
maintains your preset road speed without operating the throttle – a welcome feature for long-distance riding that can reduce fatigue. The system allows settings when riding in 2nd gear or higher at engine speeds between 2,000rpm and 7,000rpm, corresponding to vehicle speeds of roughly 25km/h to 160km/h. The handy resume function re-engages the system and returns to the most recent speed setting after cancelling.
Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)
continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle opening, engine speed, and gear position. It quickly reduces engine output when it detects wheel spin by adjusting ignition timing and air delivery. STCS offers 3 mode settings (plus an OFF setting) to let you control the throttle with more confidence by limiting rear wheel spin in a variety of riding conditions.
• Mode 1 - for sport riding with minimal intervention from the system
• Mode 2 - for city riding and regular road conditions with a ideally fitted balance.
• Mode 3 - for wet or slippery road conditions.
Combined Brake System
provides braking power to both the front and rear brakes by simply operating the front brake lever. This can support more confident braking.
Load Dependent Control System
recognizes changes in the load conditions of any given moment and responds by automatically adjusting brake pressure to provide stable braking regardless of the load you are carrying.
Bi-directional Quick Shift System
lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever. When activated, the system delivers clean, silky smooth upshifts with uninterrupted acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and smooth, thanks in part to automatic hands-free blipping and engine braking working together harmoniously. This distinctive feature enhances the riding experience the minute you hit the road and you will immediately feel the benefits of reduced fatigue.
Low RPM Assist
By ensuring smoother and easier starts, this function helps you control the bike more easily in stop-and-go traffic. It uses TI-ISC
(Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control) to help maintain engine idle speed as you release the clutch lever to launch from a standing start, or ride at low speeds.
Motion Track Brake System
combines vehicle posture data from the IMU with front and rear wheel speed sensor data to allow Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** activation, even when leaning into corners. This helps maintain traction and lean angle so you can better trace your intended line through the corner. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively.
Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System
This cable-free system leverages the onboard ECM to finely control the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics.
Individual settings are tuned to optimize output characteristics
to match throttle grip action, particularly when first opening the throttle. This improves controllability and provides faithful response, especially when riding on gravel roads.
Suzuki Easy Start System
lets you start the engine with just one quick press of a button without pulling in the clutch lever when in neutral. A function used on every outing, Easy Start makes your riding experience all the more pleasurable and convenient.
Hill Hold Control System
automatically engages the rear brake for 30 seconds after coming to a stop while facing uphill on an incline, even when you release the brake lever or pedal. This helps ensure a smoother restart free of worries that the bike will roll backward.
Slope Dependent Control System
controls brake pressure to prevent rear wheel lift and help achieve confident braking, even riding downhill, by constantly monitoring the motorcycle’s posture and angle.
Colour Multi-function Instrument Cluster
The 5-inch color TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel keeps you fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings and supplies vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer also serves as a programable rpm indicator.
The LCD screen displays the Speedometer, Tachometer, Riding range, Cruise control setting, Cruise control resume speed, Hill hold control setting, Odometer, Dual trip meter, Gear position, Water temperature, Ambient temperature, Freeze indicator, Engine rpm indicator, Average fuel consumption, Instant fuel consumption, SDMS mode, ABS mode, Traction control mode, Quick Shift (On/Off), Fuel gage, 12-hour clock, Voltmeter, and Service reminder.
