tackle the trails and tracks when the highway ends , but also an enhanced electronics package .
The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System ( SIRS ) found on the 2023 V-Strom 1050 includes a six-axis IMU used to govern systems such as lean angle-sensitive ABS and linked brakes with slope and load-dependent control , plus hill hold control , while an updated ride-by-wire throttle responds faithfully to the rider ’ s input and delivers a more natural feel , with a slightly stiffer grip action when opening . Suzuki Drive Mode Selector , with three modes , remains , as does a three-mode traction control system ( plus off ), cruise control , low RPM assist and Suzuki ’ s easy-start function .
For 2023 the new V-Strom 1050DE adds an extra G
( gravel ) mode to its available traction control settings , specifically designed for use off-road . The additional mode retards ignition timing and allows more rear wheel slip . This continues to deliver power to the rear wheel without interruption , and suppressing it only enough to help prevent excessive wheel spin . As a result , the bike remains controllable and the rider still gets the consistent power output they want .
While the V-Strom 1050 ’ s SIRS package includes two ABS modes , allowing riders to choose from different sensitivity settings , the new V-Strom 1050DE adds the ability to disengage the ABS from the rear wheel entirely , giving riders more freedom and control off-road .
