The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S) features a collection of advanced electronic rider assist systems. The rider can freely choose the settings of each system to best suit their level of skill and experience, and to optimise performance characteristics for the riding conditions and road surface at any given moment.
These systems help make the V-STROM 1050 more controllable, predicable, and less tiring to operate. Each system has been designed and thoroughly tested to operate the way a rider expects, providing an exciting riding experience that inspires confidence.
SDMS is designed to offer the rider a choice between three different modes that change output characteristics to match riding conditions or preferences.
Mode A (Active) provides the sharpest response at low to mid-range speeds and reaches the top of its power curve at lower rpm. Settings for torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver the exciting acceleration and fully leverage the V-twin engine’s power. It is well suited for enjoying spirited runs on winding roads in good weather.
Mode B (Basic) reaches the same level of maximum output, but features a more linear curve with slightly softer throttle response at low to mid-range speeds. Labelled as the perfect setting for touring, this mode aims to make the motorcycle more controllable and instil confidence when accelerating, and to make it a good fit for a wide range of rider styles and road conditions in everyday riding.
Mode C (Comfort) provides the softest throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, delivering power in smoother linear fashion while still reaching the same level of maximum power output. The gentler throttle response and limited torque production as the throttle is opened makes more obedient and controllable when riding on wet or otherwise slippery surfaces, when road conditions are bad, or even when the rider wants to relax and enjoy a ride home after a long outing.
This system enhances control by allowing ABS activation not only when travelling in a straight line, but also when the bike is leaning whilst cornering. Intervention is determined by monitoring input from the front and rear wheel speed sensors along with vehicle posture data from the IMU. The compact hydraulic ABS unit controls brake pressure in response to the data received. The bike is therefore less likely to try to push itself upright or lose traction, instead maintaining its radius and lean angle to better trace the rider’s intended line through the corner. Even if the rider panics and brakes heavily in a corner, the system assists in maintaining stability while slowing or stopping the motorcycle.
Braking confidence is further enhanced via the Combined Braking System which provides braking power to the both front and rear brakes when operating the front brake lever.
This system allows the rider to select between two levels of ABS intervention. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively.
Tokico radial mount monobloc four-piston front brake calipers are mated with 310mm floating dual discs to provide sure stopping power and controllable braking performance. The rear brake sports a 260mm disc and matched with a single-piston pin-slide caliper.

Integrating accelerometers and gyroscopes into a single compact package, the 6-axis Bosch IMU measures angular rate and acceleration to constantly monitor pitch, roll, and yaw.
Allows the rider to shift up or down without needing to operate the clutch or throttle. The system delivers clean, silky-smooth upshifts with uninterrupted acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and smooth, thanks to the automatic hands-free blipping function.
The V-STROM 1050DE features an additional G (Gravel) traction control mode that allows a certain amount of rear-wheel slip when riding on unpaved surfaces. Not recommended for use on paved surfaces.
For improved controllability on gravel and other unpaved surfaces, the rear ABS can be turned off on the V-STROM 1050DE. The system is also optimised to work in conjunction with the new 21-inch front wheel.

The V-STROM 1050 rides on 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels shod with Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 radial tyres. The 110/80R19 front and 150/70R17 rear tyres contribute to nimbler handling and positive grip, while providing a smooth ride and greater comfort when touring for long distances.
The V-STROM 1050DE rides on wire-spoked wheels and adopts a 21-inch aluminium front rim for greater stability and better control when tearing up gravel roads. The 90/90-21 Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyre in the front and 150/70R17 Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR in the rear feature a semi-block pattern and an internal structure designed exclusively for the V-STROM 1050DE. These new adventure tyres are built to provide solid performance on the road , as well as good grip and nimble handling when exploring gravel roads and trails.
The height-adjustable windscreen for the V-STROM 1050 helps reduce fatigue on long rides by cutting wind noise and preventing buffeting. With its shape and size defined by extensive wind tunnel testing, the screen can be adjusted by hand using a quick release handle providing the choice between 11 positions that cover a 50mm vertical range.
The V-STROM 1050DE features a smaller, sporty tinted screen designed to maximise visibility when adventuring down country trails and on gravel roads. While 80mm shorter and slightly narrower than the V-STROM 1050 windscreen, it has been extensively tested to assure rider comfort and prevent wind buffeting.
The rider and pillion seats are designed to achieve a comfortable upright riding position that reduces fatigue, even when touring for long distances.

The V-STROM 1050DE adopts a rugged looking aluminium engine protector to match its tough image, as well as new side and centre stands designed to match the taller ground clearance of the 1050DE’s custom chassis geometry.
To achieve greater durability when riding on gravel roads and trails, the V-STROM 1050DE boasts a stronger drive chain with sturdier links and large diameter pins.
43mm KYB inverted fully adjustable front forks deliver a smooth, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics well suited to adventure touring. The link-type KYB rear shock contributes to agility and stability, and its preload can be adjusted by simply turning the dial by hand. This is particularly beneficial when preparing to ride two-up with a pillion or when carrying a load.
A new custom 5-inch full-colour TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel features clearly legible information displays, keeping the rider fully informed on the motorcycle’s systems and settings, and supplying real-time operating status information.
The tachometer doubles as a programmable RPM indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a preset speed.
