For the 2026 model year, Suzuki continues to rely on the proven 1,037 cc 90° V-Twin with DOHC valve control. This twin-cylinder engine delivers 106 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and reaches its peak torque of 100 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Dual iridium spark plugs per cylinder aim to optimize combustion, while sodium-filled exhaust valves enhance thermal stability. The engine meets the Euro-5-Plus standards, keeping it technically up-to-date.

Familiar V-Twin Remains the Heart of the 2026 Suzuki V-Strom 1050
Transmission and Ride Assist: Trusted Tech for 2026
The six-speed gearbox of the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 and 1050DE remains designed for everyday dynamic performance. A short first gear ensures quick acceleration, while the long-geared sixth gear is intended to reduce RPM and fuel consumption on the highway.
The standard bidirectional Quick-Shift system allows for clutchless shifting in both directions. Additionally, the Suzuki Clutch-Assist System (SCAS) reduces hand effort and prevents rear wheel hopping during downshifts.
Two Characters, One Engine – The 2026 V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE
V-Strom 1050DE:
The Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE is clearly aimed at riders with off-road ambitions. Featuring a 21-inch front wheel, long suspension travel, and sturdy wire-spoke wheels, it feels right at home on unpaved trails. The design pays homage to the legendary DR Big, a clear nod to Suzuki's enduro heritage.
