The 2018 Suzuki V-Strom DL1000XT brings updated styling, oversized aluminum handlebars and a sturdy set of tubeless wire-spoke wheels. Liter-class V-Stroms also received a newly-updated ABS braking setup, a taller windscreen and several other refinements.

The new Bosch 5-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit), that supplies the bike’s spatial data to the braking system, is the headliner technology upgrade. It’s the basis for what they call “Cornering ABS,” and something they stole from their race-mate GSX-R 1000. The ability to match the braking strength to the availability of traction is the magic in there… giving you the most stopping power possible for the given conditions be they wet, or leaned over. Not something you would notice on a freeway slog, unless you were to encounter a need to make an emergency stop perhaps, but it’s looking out for you 50 times per second.

This Suzuki V-Strom has just had a full service and fluid change by the technicians here at Cycle Refinery.  This extremely clean example has only 5400 miles on the odometer and is ready for many more adventures! 

Price does not include any government fees and tax, title and license fees for Texas residents.
