2015 SUZUKI V-Strom 1000 ABS SE Review
Design - and most of these dual-use recreational facility, form follows function - by a significant margin. Cycling and mountain biking tour chalk cheese As for their design and mechanical needs to go, and this particular hybrid DNA does not necessarily give birth to the most beautiful hybrid. With that caveat out of the way, I will follow with a big, fat "So what!" To a pragmatist, this thing is a piece of art.
You get just enough "tourish" function (front fairing, windshield, bags and luggage rack), comfortable open highway, you need to get out an own innovative off-road capability. Without selfishness or - two seats, passenger footpegs and armrests allow you to bring a friend to share adventures. Overall, the design features performance compromise between form and function - as it should.
Chassis - mountain bike has a tendency to be a little high (for good reason) and V- Strom is no exception. Although lower than in previous years the seat height of the 2015 model 850 mm (33.5 inches) in height still began to spread to the tall territory. Do not despair, shorter riders, "the narrowing of the engine and the fuel tank design, the bicycle narrow waist, it has been (read: short) paths and lawns between your tookus.
Despite the narrow design, the tank still can hold 20 liters (5.3 gallons) - believes there is no fuel camel hump. Let me say, I like to have plenty of fuel, the real, I do; but I fear that in the future have to stand up tall bike has so much weight in the sole, because it is.
Down, force sharp turns and poor terrain of 43 mm KYB fork hardened front-end processing, the impact in the rear coil can call (literally, they have to adjust the dial) changes in driving conditions and cargo / passenger load.
Personally, I like to see a lot of "brakeage," and that Suzuki does not disappoint. Dual 310 mm front discs provide a lot of leverage is four piston monoblock brake calipers Tokico binding.
ABS wheel speed monitoring and moderates when it detects slip, to prevent loss of traction due to excessive brake brake, so you can freely use the brakes confidence. Factories holding brake light element and with a lightweight, cast aluminum rims, low in order to keep unsprung weight. That should translate into good sensitivity and suspension response when things get rough.
Transmission - Now, we get a real "top" features, most of which is hidden in the 1037 ml, 90-degree, V-twin engine and control system. In typical Suzuki fashion, the engine is equipped with a veritable alphabet soup of control systems and engine improvements. Factories kept low friction piston into the cylinder with the cylinder and piston rings thin Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plating.
Fuel - air induction systems fall into several different under management. First, the use of 10 holes each throttle body injector and throttle Suzuki coupling (SDTV) system, which allows the rider to control a valve, and the idle speed control (ISC) and traction control system in response to the second valve moderate engine conditions and provide traction, respectively. Traction control system monitors wheel speed engine position and sample every four milliseconds, sensitivity and intervention levels may be set to one of the two-level, or close completely.
One of the most ingenious feature for me, is the most boring area - exhaust. Suzuki exhaust adjustment (SET) system uses single-muffler exhaust system, allowing it to control the amount of system back pressure within the ECM control disc.
I like to play my bike back pressure, but because I was using a lollipop that it is a static adjustment. I was happy to see someone come up with an automated system that.
From Suzuki clutch road trip, off-road adventure benefit auxiliary systems (SCAS), which as a slip clutch to prevent the loss of positive downshift wheel hop and traction.
V-Strom SE can be had for $ 13,499 CAD and 12-month, unlimited mileage warranty, red, gray, black or white. Reasonable prices, in most cases, if you think it eliminates the need for a second bike, if you are to both OTC and adventure on the road is very reasonable.
