The 2023 V-STROM 1050 models are Engineered for the Unexpected. Suzuki further enhanced these legendary Adventure motorcycles so you can conquer the unexpected. Continuing the reputation of a reliable sports adventure tourer, these models deliver a stronger connection between rider and machine. Thanks to an updated Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), V-STROM 1050 riders have even more comfort and control over varied terrain and conditions.

The 2023 V-STROM 1050, the V-STROM 1050DE, and V-STROM 1050DE Adventure let riders easily escape into the great outdoors and explore to their heart’s content, whether that’s long-distance pavement-oriented touring or exploring gravel roads and country trails.

Daring riders have long looked to the Suzuki V-Strom as the starting point of serious on- and off-road riding adventures. The V-Strom’s performance, reliability, and comfort was already there, and the platform could be personalized to manage the rigors of adventure touring in less hospitable environments.

The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure’s proven V-twin engine rides in a chassis with increased ground clearance to accommodate a new 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke-style wheels with more aggressive Dunlop ADV-ready tires. This V-STROM also gains 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.

A new 5-inch color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel clearly displays the expanded Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) settings that include a new Gravel (G) mode to the Suzuki Traction Control System* and the ability to switch off the rear ABS**. The V-STROM 1050DE Adventure further emphasizes 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 2023 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.
