Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike – Features and Specs
Key Features
The Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike’s adventure-themed styling pays homage to the DR-Big Large-Displacement DualSport and previous Suzuki Dakar Rally bikes while retaining Suzuki’s classic rally beak look.
The 1037cc V-twin engine is ideal for long hauls. It can produce more horsepower than before while maintaining a solid pull at low rpm. It also consumes less petrol and complies with global pollution regulations.
With cruise control, a two-way quick-shift system, and a Motion Track brake system, which enables A.B.S. activation when the bike is leaning into a corner, the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) can handle any riding mission. It is equipped to support.
A newly designed multi-function instrument panel with a 5-inch color TFT LCD is highly readable, even in direct sunlight or at night. The USB connector on the side of the instrument panel allows smartphones and other devices, such as G.P.S. units, to be powered.
A robust and twin-spar aluminum frame that balances weight and stiffness for excellent handling on all types of roads, helping to carry the V-Strom’s compact and agile chassis heritage more easily with the rider’s feet touching the ground.
A fully adjustable upside-down fork supports two brake rotors mounted on a 19-inch cast aluminum front wheel, held by radially mounted four-piston brake calipers. The 17-inch rear wheel is supported by an aluminum swingarm managed by a link-style shock absorber with a hydraulic spring preload adjuster that can be adjusted by hand.
Engine Features
The 1037cc, 90-degree, D.O.H.C., liquid-cooled V-twin engine achieves global emissions compliance while producing more horsepower at the same torque and fuel efficiency better than previous models i.e. Suzuki 2020 V-Strom 1050.
Because the engine produces a continuous power pulse, the 90-degree L-Twin design provides ideal core balance, eliminating the need for any balance shafts or rubber mounts.
F.E.M. analysis was used in engineering large-bore, high-compression pistons to achieve ideal stiffness, weight, and improved durability.
These pistons operate within cylinder bores coated with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (S.C.E.M.), integrated into the upper crankcase for superior heat dissipation, reduced weight, excellent durability, and reduced friction.
To maximize engine power and save fuel consumption, intake and exhaust camshaft overlap is reduced, and valve lift time is longer.
The first Suzuki motorbike to use hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves is the Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike. By reducing combustion chamber temperatures, these valves increase flow efficiency and stability.
Better balancing the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics, the new ride-by-wire electronic throttle system uses a powerful 32-bit E.C.M. to manage the action of the throttle valves.
In all situations, the Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike’s electronic throttle mechanism completely idles a permanent engine.
The intake manifold’s 10-hole fuel injectors, positioned downstream of the throttle body on each cylinder, provide good fuel atomization for increased combustion efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
The air cleaner box contributes to the V-Twin engine’s distinctive power characteristics by increasing torque through specially designed, extended intake funnels at low speeds.
The transistorized digital ignition system ignites the mixture at the right time and independently fires the two spark plugs in each cylinder head for more complete combustion.
Where the engine and oil filter meet, you will find the liquid-cooled oil cooler. This lightweight, space-saving cooler lowers the temperature of the lubricating oil while taking up less space than conventional oil coolers.
To create a striking contrast with the black crankcase, the water pump case, clutch cover, magneto cover, and cylinder head cover are painted with durable bronze finish paint.
Engine components, such as the clutch cover, are protected by replaceable plastic to avoid scratching the rider’s boots.
Transmission Features
The revised six-speed close-ratio transmission’s high gear ratios in the first and sixth gears smooth shift movements in the second and higher gears. Additionally, as the rider opens up the throttle, it gives them a greater sense of acceleration. The new two-way quick-shift system works smoothly thanks to improved gear ratios.
The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (S.C.A.S.) controls the transmission’s output. This technology allows smoother downshifts by allowing a small clutch slip, similar to a slipper clutch. Additionally, it acts as an assist clutch, resulting in a light and precise clutch lever pull.
The O-ring style drive chain from R.K. rides on strong steel sprockets and has pre-packed lubricant between the rollers and pins for reliable, quiet operation.
Chassis Features
Suzuki decided to take a new approach to the tried-and-true chassis architecture for the Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike, giving customers the option of customization based on riding style or intended purpose.
The Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike retains the trim and unique design inspired by the dual-sport DR-Big and Suzuki’s storied DR-Z Dakar racer. Suzuki introduced the distinctive off-road beak design, which is now an essential component of contemporary adventure-style motorcycles.
The Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike’s beak flows into a distinctive rectangular-shaped vertically stacked L.E.D. headlight, enhanced by new body colors and graphics. The rider can see ahead thanks to the adequate illumination of the surrounding area and the road surface.
A height-adjustable windscreen was designed through intensive wind tunnel testing to reduce rider buffeting and wind noise. Eleven manual windscreen positions can be adjusted in a two-inch height range.
The windscreen mount has a mounting bar that sits just below the rider’s eye level and is a valuable location for devices such as GPS for navigation.
Apart from offering the rider excellent steering control, the wide-diameter tapered aluminum handlebar with a high height separates the bike from the road. The strong handlebar and low weight help reduce vibration for the rider.
The rider can easily adjust the clutch and front brake levers for comfortable access thanks to adjustable knobs on both. Users can customize the gear shift and rear brake pedals according to their preferences.
The mirrors have a new design that improves the appearance of the Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike and offers a better view of what is behind the rider.
Wide metal footrests with thick rubber pads dampen vibrations and make it easy for riders to control the Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike on various roads.
Compared to other models in the class, the rider’s legs can reach the ground more quickly because of the slim chassis, made possible by the narrow design of the V-twin engine, fuel tank, and trim seat.
With a generous 5.3-gallon capacity, the gasoline tank’s form and cover have been engineered to provide a comfortable, slim tank-to-seat junction for the rider.
The Suzuki 2023 V-Strom 1050 Adventure Bike rider seat has an essential seat height of 33.7 inches (855 mm) but can be raised an additional 0.8 inches (20 mm). A height extender and accompanying tool are placed under the plane seat for easy adjustment.
Its robust and twin-spar aluminum frame, which balances weight and stiffness for excellent handling on all types of roads, is a big part of the V-Strom heritage.
The 43mm K.Y.B. inverted front fork offers a sporty yet comfortable ride in various riding conditions. Spring preload, compression, and rebound damping force adjusters are adjustable on all fork legs.
The cast aluminum swingarm can be quickly adjusted for cargo or passengers with a rear shock that allows remote hydraulic spring preload adjustment. Additionally, rebound damping force adjustment is a feature of the single-shock, link-style rear suspension.
