Sporty V-twin: Suzuki’s V-twin engine’s calibrated irregular firing intervals create a unique heartbeat-like sound and linear power delivery. It is a motorcycle dominating the racing V-twin cup and can also easily fit in the city riding condition. 

Superior Value: In order to further improve overall fuel efficiency and emissions control, the V-twin- engine came with a lot of innovations such as Dual Spark 90 degree V-Twin, Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM), Dual Spark Technology, newly designed pistons and rings, Suzuki’s Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) Fuel injection and Low RPM Assist Control 

Simple and Versatile: The simple base design of the SV650 is right at home on all roads — whether it’s a sprawling modern city or the suburban country side. Engineered to all riders, this motorcycle delivers an unforgettable experience with every ride you take now and a long way down the road. Take the keys then take command of excitement.

SUPREME SOAR: V-STROM 1000XT 

The V-Strom Series has already proven itself to be a very powerful yet comfortable touring ride. It is designed to conquer the steep mountain with a pillion rider, yet still leaving a grin on your face with its exciting sportiness. 

Now with an updated look with a more powerful performance, the V-Strom 1000XT is set once again to defy your adventure with its state of the art technology that is always there to support a difficult task. 

It is powered by a new generation ABS which ensures safe maneuverability while traversing the mountain roads. The Bosch ABS system has been upgraded to the “Motion Track Brake System” by installing a 5-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and by combining the information of the posture of the vehicle with the front and rear wheel speeds, realizing optimal vehicle stability when braking not only in straight-line but also when cornering. 

This new sophisticated system instantly assesses the need of ABS application when the lever or pedal is operated by calculating the posture of the vehicle and wheel speeds. 

Also a new feature is the Combination Brake which automatically applies pressure to the rear brake when the front brake pressure rises to a certain point. This technology, combined with the Motion Track Brake System, will support the rider to trace the intended line to an extent in situations such as sudden/excessive braking in corners, efficiently reducing the speed and stabilizing the vehicle even when at various lean angles. 

It also inherits the Advanced Traction Control System from the previous model which enables the rider to control the throttle with more confidence in difficult riding situations. Popular for its comfort, the new V-Strom 1000 XT raised the bar once again to next level of ease. The newly designed faring controlling the wind, combined with the bike’s lightweight and maneuverable nature, has advanced its mile-eating performance to take you even further. 

Reducing the wind blast to the hands of the rider and providing comfort especially in the rain or cold weather, the once optional Knuckle Covers are now standard to support harsh condition riding. Comfort and accurate control to the levers are improved by installing the optional Grip Heaters for long distance rides in severe conditions. The Under Cowling is also standard to give the rider that extra adventure feel. 

The V-Strom 1000XT also comes with a Rios which gives more flexibility and durability when touring. Embrace the thrill of touring and soar supreme with the new V-Strom 1000XT. For an extensive adventure experience, the V-Strom 1000XT also comes with accessories. 

The V-Strom 1000XT is available in Yellow and White colors with an SRP of Php 734,000.
