Suzuki consider Variable Valve Timing for the V-Strom 1000

Variable Valve Timing, a performance and efficiency enhancing technology which was traditionally used on car engines up until Ducati employed it on the Multistrada 1200 S, is now being considered by Suzuki for the V-Strom 1000.

If rumours are to be believed, Suzuki have been working in this direction for quite some time now and may employ the technology on the 996 cc V-twin engine that powers the dual-sport bike. Variable Valve Timing technology effectively results in ensuring optimum cylinder charging across the rev range of the engine. Bottom-end torque is maintained without compromising on top-end whack.

Rumours have suggested the usage of a wave-shaped cam profile (similar to the Porsche’s VarioCam technology) that can slide axially to provide lift according to dynamic engine conditions. The same source also claimed that Suzuki is massaging a claimed 6 per cent hike in power and 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption. However, none of this can be confirmed until we hear a word from Suzuki about it.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
