Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to riders with at least some prior motorcycle experience, though its manageable power delivery makes it accessible to upper-intermediate riders stepping up to a big adventure bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle mixed pavement and light gravel with confidence.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 247kg wet weight mean shorter riders may find it a stretch at stops, but the weight is well balanced once moving.
CharacterA torque-rich V-twin adventure bike with a rugged, purposeful character that rewards relaxed, all-day riding over aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing outright track speed or agile, flickable city commuting in tight urban traffic.

2021 Suzuki V-Strom 1050A 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 2021 Suzuki V-Strom 1050A, 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.
