Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a capable, torquey adventure-tourer rather than a beginner's first bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle light gravel and unpaved roads while excelling on highways and twisty tarmac.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 233kg wet weight are manageable for average-height riders, though the tall stance and wire wheels demand confident low-speed handling when loaded with luggage or a passenger.
CharacterA relaxed, torque-rich V-twin character with a comfortable upright riding position, generous wind protection, and electronic aids like ABS and traction control for confidence-inspiring all-day rides.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking outright sportbike speed, serious hardcore off-road capability, or a lightweight city commuter.

2019 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
