Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP)

SEP engines feature weight saving and friction-reducing technology to allow both low fuel consumption and excellent power characteristics. In the V-STROM SX, the SEP engine offers brisk acceleration but uses little fuel in the process.

Suzuki Oil Cooling System (SOCS)

The world’s first oil-cooled motorcycle engine was developed by Suzuki and has been updated ever since, becoming the key to producing smaller, lighter engines as the use of an oil cooling system allows a smaller, more compact design.

Engine Performance

The 249cm3, 4-stroke 1-cylinder, 4-valve, oil-cooled SOHC engine featured in the V-STROM SX feels strong and linear, offering excellent torque.

MotoGP technology

Analytic technology gained through MotoGP was used to develop the valves, shim type roller rocker arms, retainers and piston to reduce their weight.

Piston

Printed surface treatment of the piston skirt area has reduced friction loss in the piston itself. This has contributed to increased output and better fuel efficiency.

Electronic fuel injection

Sensors monitor and record data like air pressure and air temperature to deliver and inject the ideal amount of fuel to match riding conditions.

This is thanks to the engine’s compact layout, allowing the side panels below the seat to be as narrow as possible, providing plenty of room and an overall slim, lightweight feel to the machine. Although it feels slim while riding, the V-STROM SX is tough and rugged with a protector-like look and feel

Dual-channel Antilock Brake System

The dual-channel Antilock Brake System (ABS) monitors the front and rear wheel speeds individually and matches stopping power to available traction to provide greater confidence and control. *ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

Suzuki Easy Start System

The Suzuki Easy Start System allows the engine to be started with no need to hold down the switch, requiring only a single, brief push (with the clutch pulled in).

USB outlet

A USB outlet on the left side of the instrument cluster can be used to charge a device. It glows blue making it easy to use in low light situations.
