2022 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Adventure

The 2022 V-STROM 1050XT Adventure is ready to help you escape everyday concerns and explore to your heart’s content. This bike’s purposeful look is accompanied by latest mechanical and electronic features, travel-ready aluminum panniers, LED fog lamps, and heated grips so you have everything you need for a stress-free, comfortable ride.

Distinctive Champion Yellow and Glass Sparkle Black bodywork incorporates elements from Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big. The characteristic beak design first adopted by Suzuki stays true to its heritage while being aggressive and bold at the nose of the V-STROM 1050XT Adventure.

The Adventure’s 1037cc, 90-degree V-twin engine produces more peak power than ever before while maintaining its strong pull off the bottom and superb fuel economy while complying with emissions standards worldwide. High-lift camshafts and big-bore pistons are fed by a pair of large, 49mm Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies that deliver smooth, light throttle action and precise speed control while using the standard cruise control system.

Features may include:

• Engine

The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1037cc, 90-degree V-twin engine delivers more horsepower than the prior generation powerplant 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.

Both the exhaust and intake camshafts have increased valve lift timing with less overlap to boost engine power while reducing fuel consumption.

• Advanced Electronics

Integrated into the 2022 V-STROM 1050XT Adventure is the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) that includes the Motion Track Anti-lock** and Combination Brake System with rider-selectable ABS sensitivity, Hill Hold Control System, Slope Dependent Control System, and Load Dependent Control System that assists braking performance in a variety of conditions.

CAN (Controller Area Network) Technology

Key to the operation of S.I.R.S., the V-STROM 1050XT Adventure employs an interconnected information network instead of a conventional wiring harness.

• Chassis

The 2022 V-STROM 1050XT Adventure’s trim, distinctive styling incorporates elements of both Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big. Since its introduction by Suzuki, the characteristic off-road beak design has become an integral feature of a modern Adventure-style motorcycle. The V-STROM’s beak is augmented with a vertically stacked LED headlight with a unique rectangular shape. The headlight effectively illuminates the road surfaces and surrounding areas, so the rider has an excellent view of what’s ahead.

A mounting bar just below the rider’s eye level is part of the windscreen mount, providing a good place to position accessories like a GPS for navigation.

The handlebars have handguards with large damper weights for ergonomic comfort and reduced vibration.

• Electrical

The V-STROM 1050XT Adventure features a multifunction instrument panel that presents all required information on a full, blacked-out Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen with adjustable LED backlighting. The information is displayed in order of priority via a clean and intuitive layout.

Included in the LCD display are the speedometer, tachometer (full pixel digital display), gear position indicator, odometer, dual trip meters, instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, driving range, fuel level indicator, engine coolant temperature indicator, ambient air temperature indicator, clock, voltage meter, service reminder, S-DMS mode, and traction control mode.
