The 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE is the Japanese factory’s fourth-generation V-Strom. It has the familiar water-cooled 1,037cc V-twin platform which, in concept at least, can be dated back to Suzuki TL1000S from the late ‘90s and produces precisely the same peak power and torque—106 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 73.7 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,000 rpm—as the old model, but the changes elsewhere are significant.
The DE chassis received a major transformation with the introduction of a 21-inch (steel spoked and alloy rim) front wheel, a first for the V-Strom. The headstock is new, the chassis geometry is more relaxed for dirt riding, with increased rake, a longer wheelbase, longer-travel suspension, more ground clearance, and wider bars. Its dirt intentions are clear.
