2020 SUZUKI V-S TROM 1050XT

bit more: S.I.R.S, spoked wheels, an adjustable
seat, a center stand, engine guards, a lower cowl,
an adjustable windscreen, more stylish mirrors and
handguards, and two color options: eye-catching
Champion Yellow No. 2 with a blue seat and ac-
cents, and Pearl Brilliant White/Glass Blaze orange.
The top-of-the-line XT Adventure is essentially an XT
with quick-release panniers and heated grips. Like
the standard, the XT Adventure is only of-
fered in black, which seems odd to me
when the yellow and orange XTs look
so, well, awesome!
Of course, Suzuki also offers a ton
of accessories for the V-Strom, so if you
want the pretty 'Stroms, you can purchase
one of the XTs and buy the panniers—and
heated grips—later (which is what I would
do without a second thought.)
An assortment of
rider aids is part of
the Suzuki Intelligent
Ride System (S.I.R.S.),
which includes lean-
sensitive traction
control, with three
options (including off).
