suzuki V Strom 800DE

The mid-size Adventure category receives a boost with the launch of Suzuki's all-new 2023 V-STROM 800DE, providing the ability to ride on any road. The motorcycle features a new 776cc parallel twin engine, delivering a smooth and torque-rich experience with the industry-exclusive Suzuki Cross Balancer and 270-degree crankshaft timing. The chassis has a high ground clearance, with long, fully adjustable suspension and spoke-style wheels, including a 21-inch front hoop with the latest Dunlop ADV tires. The new rugged steel backbone frame takes advantage of the engine's compact size, resulting in a nimble and stable chassis on paved roads or dirt trails. The suspension is fully adjustable, including the long, inverted fork and rear shock absorber, which has a remote, hand-operated hydraulic spring preload adjuster.

The V-STROM 800DE has a new, color 5-inch TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel that allows the rider to access and control the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System 'S.I.R.S' suite of advanced electronic control systems, including the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the Suzuki Traction Control System, and Suzuki's Bi-Directional Quick Shift system. The S.I.R.S. features a new GRAVEL Traction Control mode and rear ABS that can be switched off for off-road riding. The motorcycle provides a comfortable and controlled ride all day, with a wide, vibration-damping tapered handlebar, strong seat, and wide footpegs. An adjustable windscreen sits above a pair of stacked, compact Mono-focus LED headlights that provide big-time illumination. The motorcycle's styling is unmistakably V-Strom with the Dakar Rally-style beak.
