SAGMart Reviews on Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS
What’s Good:
Needless to say, the styling factor of the adventure tourer is certainly required to be added in the list as one of its merits. It’s a dual purpose motorcycle getting a blend of design elements from rest of the Suzuki line-up. Besides that, there’s no point in questioning the power numbers too as the hulk is strong enough the beat any other model in the class. Via slimmer engine, redesigned chassis, and Suzuki’s excellent Traction Control System, the V-Strom 1000 moves with a whooping speed on the tracks. Mentioned below are a couple of its good features:
- Edgy Design
- Electric Start
- Alloy Wheels
- ABS
- Suzuki Fuel Injection
What’s Bad:
An adventure bike hardly has any flaws, though, with Suzuki V-Strom 1000, there are three main issues which have been scrutinized. First, the weight of the bike, which in no case is ‘light’. Second is the bad light switch on/off throttle response and third is the old- V-twin engine. It makes torque between 0-4000 RPM. Tiny torque can’t make a substantial impact over rocky terrains and all you are left is riding on city or rural roads.
Engine:
When it comes to power, machines from Suzuki have always been the top-notches, however, same is not the case with V-Strom 1000. There is an old fire-breathing TL1000S, which lazily wakes up the engine. You can push away the bike in small city streets as the gearbox is typically smooth with least throttle and light hydraulic clutch. Power numbers are stated below:
- Displacement: 1037 cc
- Maximum Power: 99 BHP at 8000RPM
- Maximum Torque: 103 NM
- Mileage: 15 KMPL
- Manual Gearbox
Safety:
On the safety front, the adventure tourer features disc brakes at both ends while the suspension control is sophisticated as well. Seating couch is roomy and can accommodate the rider easily. Moreover, to retain the rigidness, there are tubeless tyres, radial tyres, and alloy wheels. From a 19-inch front wheel, the steering gets suffered and is not razor sharp. ABS is standard, which is prominent too as per the safety aspect. Here are the technical specifications:
- Front Brake: Disc
- Rear Brake: Disc
- Front Suspension: Inverted telescopic
- Rear Suspension: Link type, coil spring
- Front Tyre: 110/80R19M/C 59V
- Rear Tyre: 150/70R17M/C 69V
Verdict:
Overall rating is average for this bike as it won’t electrify the thrill up to a certain extent and can make you disappointed. Albeit, it is a comfortable, practical, frugal and stylish tourer for the day to day city rides. Besides, there’s a huge list of accessories packed with it in an affordable price tag too- a plus point, certainly. It is also backed by flawless traction control and ABS.
