The 2024 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 continues its legacy as a top choice for adventure tourers, offering a combination of power, comfort, and advanced electronics for long-distance riding. This latest model enhances the rider’s connection to the machine with the help of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), providing better control over diverse road conditions.
At the heart of the V-Strom 1050 is a 1037cc V-twin engine, renowned for its reliability and performance. The engine delivers more horsepower than previous models while retaining strong low-end torque, making it a perfect companion for extended touring on paved roads. The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90-degree design ensures smooth power delivery, negating the need for balancer shafts or rubber mounting.
The large-bore, high-compression pistons, engineered using FEM analysis, provide ideal rigidity and durability. The Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinder bores increase engine longevity and improve heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance.
The 2024 V-Strom 1050 is equipped with Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), which enhances rider comfort and control. Some key features include:
The 5-inch TFT LCD display is a significant upgrade, offering clear visibility both during the day and at night. It shows all key bike stats, including S.I.R.S. settings, in a concise and easy-to-read format. A USB port located near the display provides power for your smartphone or GPS device.
Comfort is a major focus of the 2024 V-Strom 1050. The height-adjustable windscreen, shaped through extensive wind tunnel testing, helps reduce wind noise and buffeting, allowing riders to focus on the road. The screen can be adjusted to 11 different positions within a two-inch height range.
The twin-spar aluminum frame and narrow chassis design make the bike nimble, while still allowing the rider’s legs to easily reach the ground. The adjustable rider seat can be raised an additional 0.8 inches (20mm), and the two-up seat is designed with a high-grip texture to keep both the rider and passenger comfortable over long distances.
The 43mm KYB inverted front fork offers adjustable spring preload and damping, ensuring a plush ride over varied surfaces. The rear shock also features remote hydraulic spring preload adjustment, making it easy to switch between solo riding and carrying a passenger or cargo.
Radially-mounted Tokico brake calipers paired with 310mm floating discs offer strong and reliable stopping power. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cast aluminum wheels are fitted with Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 radial tires, providing a balance of grip and comfort for both commuting and long-distance touring.
The V-Strom 1050 maintains its adventure-inspired styling with a Glass Blaze Orange and Metallic Matte Black colorway, drawing from the iconic Suzuki DR-Big DAKAR-beak design. Replaceable plastic shields on the engine help protect critical components from wear caused by the rider's boots.
The 5.3-gallon fuel tank ensures extended range between fuel stops, while the slender tank-and-seat junction promotes rider comfort during long journeys. The large luggage rack and passenger grab handles make it easy to mount accessories or cargo, and the center stand comes standard for convenient servicing or loading.
The 2024 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 is the perfect blend of adventure and touring capabilities. Whether you're commuting through city streets or embarking on a long-distance road trip, this motorcycle is built to offer the comfort, power, and reliability needed for the journey ahead. With cutting-edge electronics like S.I.R.S., cruise control, and quick-shift, the V-Strom 1050 ensures that you can focus on the ride, no matter the road or conditions.
If you're in the market for a reliable, technologically advanced, and comfortable adventure tourer, the 2024 V-Strom 1050 should be at the top of your list.
