For 2023, Suzuki did an overhaul of their flagship adventurer, giving it a significant off-road upgrade in the form of a 21" front wheel, increased suspension travel and ground clearance, a more-rigid swingarm and subframe, larger serrated footpegs, beefier sump protection, a new dedicated Gravel ride mode, off-road ABS, and more. Are the latest round of changes to the Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE a major upgrade in off-road performance? We recently got our hands on a V-Strom 1050DE and put it through its paces over several days of rigorous off-road testing. In this video, we evaluate its performance in sand, technical single track, whoops, hill climbs, and more. Plus we ring it out on some proper twisty roads and clock some hours on the super slab to see if its street prowess was retained after the updates.
