Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some prior experience, though the manageable power delivery and upright ergonomics make it approachable for newer intermediate riders too.
PurposeBuilt as a versatile adventure-touring machine that excels at eating up highway miles while still being capable of light gravel and dirt road excursions.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 233kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-height riders, though shorter riders may need to tiptoe at a stop.
CharacterA torquey V-twin with a relaxed, confident personality that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking outright sportbike performance or serious technical off-road capability, as its weight and street-biased tires limit both.

2017 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
