German luggage and accessories specialists SW Motech have introduced a range of touring and adventure add-ons for the latest Suzuki DL650 V-Strom, including: a full alloy luggage system, engine guard and crash bars, handlebar risers and a comfort footrest kit.
Tailor-made for the popular Suzuki dual sport machine, and engineered for a perfect fit and durability, the new range helps add value and versatility to the already accomplished v-twin.
Luggage:
- Crucial for trips of any length is the ability to carry kit, so SW Motech developed a complete Trax Evo luggage system for the V-Strom.
- Engineered from corrosion-resistant 1.5mm thick AlMg3 grade alloy, and with fibre-reinforced hinges, Trax cases are super tough.
- The lids have a waterproof sealing profile and are fitted with tie-down points for extra carrying capacity.
- Side cases are produced in 37- and 45-litre versions and weigh just 3.9 and 4.5kg respectively.
- A matching 38-litre top case is also available.
- The quick-lock side carriers can be removed in seconds, restoring the bike to its original appearance.
- Prices start at £84.91 for the Alu-Rack; Quick Lock carriers are £207.65 (pair) and a 37-litre side case sells for £223.09.
Ergonomics:
- Helping to keep the rider comfortable and focused on enjoying the journey are the Bar Risers (£37.73) and Comfort Footrest Kit (£113.24).
- Available in two sizes, the bar risers can lift the bars from 20-25mm, enabling riders to tailor their position for long days in the saddle and helping to combat wrist ache and fatigue.
- The Comfort Footrests can also be set in two positions and feature a rubber insert to help reduce the effects of vibration as well as having a profiled surface for firmer footing when the going gets rough.
- A Centre Stand kit (£151.01) helps with cleaning, maintenance and parking too.
Protection:
- SW Motech’s Engine Guard (£188.72) offers protection for the V-Strom’s exposed oil filter and starter – crucial if planning any off road excursions - while the lightweight yet durable Crash Bars (£141.55) help prevent damage in the event of a low-speed tumble.
- They’re powder coated to help resist corrosion and are designed to fit neatly without adding excess bulk or width.
Other accessories include QUICK-LOCK Tank Mount Adaptors and Tank Bags for added carrying capability, a HAWK Light Mount set and Mirror Extenders for added safety.
