DescriptionThe whole story▼

Suzuki gave the DL1050 cornering ABS, which changes how hard you can lean on the front brake and therefore how much information you want back from the lever. Electronics can keep the wheel turning; they cannot tell your fingers where the blade is.

Key Features

  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Material and Pivot

Solid aluminium, machined and hard anodised, with the pivot bore phosphated separately. A lever with slop feels the same whether the ABS is working or not, which is precisely the feedback you do not want.

Feeling the Threshold

Cornering ABS lets a rider approach the limit more confidently, but confidence still comes from feel. The useful part of the travel is short, and where it begins is set by reach — which is why an adjustment you can make in single steps is worth more than one with four coarse settings.

Two-Finger Braking, Loaded

Bringing the blade closer makes two-finger operation practical even with a full tank and luggage, and leaves the other two fingers wrapped around the bar where they help hold a line.

Road Approval

Approved for German roads under ABE No. KBA 91203, downloadable from this page. No entry in the vehicle documents and no inspection are needed.

Scope of Delivery

A single black brake lever for the DL1050 V-Strom. Supplied on its own; the original pivot bolt and nut are reused.
