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.

Features may include:

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

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

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

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.

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

Essential to Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) operation, the V-STROM 1050’s IMU measures six directions of movement along three axes (as compared to the five directions measured by the prior V-Strom 1000). The IMU detects pitch, roll, and yaw movement based on the motorcycle’s position, movement, and acceleration.

Newly added to the 2023 V-STROM 1050 is the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) that includes the Motion Track Anti-lock & 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.

For the 2023 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 2023 V-STROM’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.

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.

A wide variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories for V-STROM 1050 owners are available, including aluminum or plastic luggage, 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.
