Features may include:

• Key Features

The V-STROM 1050DE’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.

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

• Transmission & Driveline Features

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.

Essential to Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) operation, the V-STROM 1050DE’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.

• Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) Features

The 2023 V-STROM 1050DE has an updated version of 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.
