While the immensely popular V-STROM celebrates its’ 20th Anniversary, Suzuki is now launching the newest addition: the V-STROM 1050DE.
V-STROM 1050DE has all the strengths you’d expect, it also features an even greater range of long-distance adventure touring possibilities: it more confidently navigates gravel, country roads, and camp trails.
Fans of V-STROM will be excited for the new, more durable construction to withstand more rugged conditions, along with features to improve handling on unpaved surfaces. Another exciting feature is the Bi-directional Quick Shift for quick, smooth shifting, a hallmark Suzuki feature. And, along with the existing advanced electronics of V-STROM, Suzuki has added a new Gravel Mode and the ability to switch rear ABS to ‘off’ for different handling conditions.
