2022 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT

Be ready for adventure with help from the new generation 2022 V-STROM 1050XT. Adding to the V-STROM legend, the 1050XT is poised to help you escape everyday concerns and explore to your heart’s content. The V-STROM’s sleek, distinctive look with effective mechanical and electronic features delivers a smooth, comfortable, and worry-free ride. Limitless potential is engineered in so you can continue your adventure without pause.

Distinctive styling 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 more aggressive and bolder at the nose of the V-STROM 1050XT.

The V-STROM’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

Integrated into the 2022 V-STROM 1050XT 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.

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

• Chassis

The 2022 V-STROM 1050XT’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.
