SUZUKI V-STROM 1000 ABS ADVENTURE (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2016 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS Adventure shared the same makeover as the 2016 ABS version, with a lighter chassis, redesigned bodywork, and a more powerful engine. The only things missing from the bike were the wire-spoked wheels which were more suitable for rough off-road conditions.

The model was equipped with a 1037cc V-Twin liquid-cooled engine, redesigned with a bigger bore, dual sparkplug heads, new pistons, and a heavier flywheel. The output of 100 hp at 8,000 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) of torque were matched by a lightweight chassis and advanced suspension.

Visually, the model featured a redesigned bodywork with a beak on the front cowl, a single headlight with stacked reflectors, an adjustable windscreen, touring side cases, and Tin-plated front fork.

The exhaust was completely redesigned with Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET), an ECM-controlled butterfly located in the exhaust pipes that optimizes pressure, and a single muffler.

For suspension, the model featured an inverted front and an easy-to-adjust single-shock style on the rear that softened the ride on the lightweight 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels.

The instrument cluster was also revised completely with new instruments, and Traction Control Setup function was first introduced on a Suzuki motorcycle in 2015.

The 2016 V-Strom 1000 Adventure model was for sale in 2022 starting from $9,000,
