NEW V-Strom 1050DE is the MASTER of Adventure

A new-for-2023 V-Strom 1050DE adds more off-road capability to our adventure bike range. The DE, which replaces the XT as the flagship, gets a series of performance enhancements shared with an updated V-Strom 1050, plus additional features, modifications, and enhancements designed to improve its performance when the highway ends.
The V-Strom 1050DE is designed for wherever your journey takes you - on any terrain, to any horizon, on any adventure - and builds on a proven, robust, and reliable platform that has made the V-Strom a cult motorcycle and the choice for many adventurers.
For 2023 both the new V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 1050 feature a new, full-colour TFT dash and a bi-directional quickshifter, while retaining a suite of complex electronic features that benefit the rider, that includes:
- Six-axis IMU
- Lean angle-sensitive ABS with two sensitivity modes
- Slope-dependent control
- Load-dependent control
- Hill hold
- Linked brakes
- Cruise control
- Three power modes
- Three traction control settings
In addition, the V-Strom 1050DE gets:
- 21-inch front wheel with Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyres front and rear
- Increased suspension travel and ground clearance plus revised chassis geometry and ergonomics
- Wider ‘bars and steel footpegs
- Two ABS modes plus the ability to disengage rear ABS
- Additional off-road ‘G mode’ traction control setting

if only life was actually like this

The yellow one please😍

[@andyedmond248]

I had the 2014 big Vee for 7 years, over 100 thousand K's and it was flawless. Will take a serious look at this newer iteration. Yellow is so cool. Interesting times ahead me thinks!!

If it had a shaft drive I'd buy one

[@andyedmond248]

Wouldn't be a true Vstrom brother.

@@andyedmond248 why not?

[@ag096]

i would love for it to have shaft drive, would be so reliable and just worry free, exactly what you want on an adventure bike, only thing i’d be concerned about is shaft drive does max out sooner than chain drive in terms on suspension travel, the shaft drive is limited on travel

[@mikescott9213]

The vstrom has less suspension travel than the gs,tiger and super tenere with all having shaft drive

[@ag096]

@@mikescott9213 gotcha did not know that, then cmonnn suzuki make a shaft drive vstrom!!!

[@achchaparitoshachchachoudh5681]

Great

[@UncleWally3]

Will it compete against the new parallel twin 800cc ‘Strom?

[@chr11sf]

Tubed front tyre?!

[@khakimzhanmiras]

Tubeless cross spoked rear and tube regular spoked front. Suzuki really are the worst…

[@nestserau]

That’s the best configuration actually.
