Test ride new V-Strom 1050 for chance to win Arai Tour-X4 helmet

To celebrate the new 70 registration plate Suzuki is giving away three V-Strom 1050-inspired Arai Tour-X4 helmets, and to be in with a chance of winning all you need to do is take a test ride on one of the new adventure machines over the weekend of 11-13 September.

To enter the giveaway, simply share a photo of yourself with the new V-Strom 1050 or 1050XT after a test ride and post it to the Suzuki Bikes UK Facebook page, or tag @SuzukiBikesUK on Instagram or Twitter, and use the hashtag #SuzukiSuper70.

The new-for-2020 V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050XT both use the newest version of Suzuki’s fabled 1037cc V-twin, which now puts out 107PS. They also get a three-stage traction control system and three engine power modes. The XT adds cruise control, hill hold assist, load and slope-dependent control linked brakes, two ABS modes plus lean angle-sensitive ABS.

The Tour-X4 comes with a long list of features, including a double D-ring strap, front ventilation from dual intakes, brow vents, and three-position chin vent, and rear ventilation courtesy of a neck exhaust vent, side exhausts, and a removable diffuser. The interior features a Dry-Cool® Liner with replaceable cheek pads, ear cups, and chinstrap covers. It also uses an emergency release system.

V-Strom 1050 available from £109 per month on Suzuki Flexible Finance scheme

The V-Strom 1050 will be available from just £109 per month when it arrives next spring, with the new adventure machine now added to Suzuki’s Flexible Finance scheme and dealerships already taking deposits.

Displayed in the UK for the first time at last month’s Motorcycle Live following its reveal at Eicma in Milan, Italy, the V-Strom 1050’s inclusion on Suzuki’s finance scheme means customers can tailor a deal to suit their needs and secure one of the first bikes to arrive in March.

With a three-mode traction control system and three engine modes, a deposit or trade-in of £2,250 means the V-Strom 1050 can be ridden for £109 per month over three years. For £129 per month over the same period with a £2,360 deposit, customers can choose the V-Strom 1050XT. The flagship V-Strom uses Suzuki’s Intelligent Ride System and a six axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) to manage lean-angle sensitive ABS and linked brakes – which support slope-dependent and load-dependent control and hill hold – as well as boasting cruise control and a two-mode ABS system.

Both versions of the new V-Strom use a 1037cc V-Twin engine, which produces 107PS and is wrapped in an aluminium frame. Suspension comes from fully-adjustable 43mm front forks from KYB, with a preload and rebound damping-adjustable rear shock. Brakes are radial Tokicos biting twin 310mm discs.

Suzuki GB head of motorcycles, Jonathan Martin, commented, “Following the announcement of the new V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050XT’s RRP, this further highlights our commitment to affordable motorcycling, without sacrificing quality, performance, and technology. For around £3.60 per day you can ride a brand new V-Strom – the master of adventure that can enable you to go everywhere, every day – and dealers are taking deposits now.”
