Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a torquey, manageable adventure-tourer rather than a beginner-first bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily for long-distance touring and mixed on/off-road adventure riding with a comfortable, upright stance.
Rider FitA seat height around 865mm and moderate 228kg wet weight make it manageable for average-to-taller riders, though it's tall for shorter riders when loaded with luggage.
CharacterA torque-rich V-twin adventure bike that favors relaxed, confident cruising and stable long hauls over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a lightweight city commuter or a track-focused sportbike experience.

2019 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS Adventure Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 865mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS Adventure, 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.
