Built around Suzuki's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2022 Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT features a 1037 cc (63.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 99 HP (72.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.5 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the V-Strom 1050XT measures 247 kg (545 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4 HP/kg (2.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,555 mm (61.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.99 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 501 km (311 miles) between fill-ups.
