2020 SUZUKI V-S TROM 1050XT R I D E R E V I E W P46 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).
