DescriptionThe whole story▼

The V-Strom 1050 is the biggest of the line and carries its weight high, which makes the front brake the control that decides how confident you feel at low speed. Confidence at walking pace is almost entirely a question of fine control.

Key Features

  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • Engineered break point inside the two-finger zone
  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Construction

Machined from one piece of aluminium, hard anodised, with the pivot bore phosphated separately. Free of play, and treated to stay that way on a bike that will see weather most machines are kept out of.

Low Speed Is Where Weight Shows

A tall, heavy adventure bike is easy at speed and demanding in a car park. Trickling it around with the front brake requires a lever you can feather with one or two fingers, which means it has to sit within their reach without opening the hand.

Seated and Standing

The riding position changes when you stand, and so does the reach. Thirty-five shallow steps let you find a setting that is not wrong in either position rather than optimising for one.
