- Engine:
- A Compact, Powerful and Versatile New Engine
A new 776cc parallel-twin engine features a 270-degree crankshaft design, which delivers a smooth ride with plenty of torque, positive traction, and a pleasing rumble.
- Suzuki Cross Balancer
All modern parallel twin engines with a 270-degree crank layout employ a primary balancer to suppress vibration.
- Highly Efficient Cooling
The radiator boasts high cooling capacity to support the parallel twin engine’s powerful output.
- 2-into-1 Exhaust System
The 2-into-1 exhaust system produces a pleasing note and maximizes power output, whether enjoying a high-speed run or heading down camp trails at low rpm.
- Pistons and Connecting Rods
The engine employs forged pistons engineered using FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis to maximize strength and minimize weight, despite the engine’s 84mm bore.
- Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)
The cylinder bores inside the aluminium die cast cylinders are plated using Suzuki’s SCEM process.
- Air Cleaner Box
- Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle Bodies
- High-Pressure Fuel Injectors
- Transmission
- Electronics:
- Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S)
The advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S) were developed to assist and help you optimize performance characteristics to match your changing riding needs and preferences.
- Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)
Freely choose among three different power output characteristic modes to best match varying riding conditions or your preferences.
- Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS)
Designed to help prevent the rear wheel from slipping, this system reduces stress and fatigue while instilling greater confidence in controlling your ride.
- G (Gravel) mode
In addition to the three on-road traction control modes (+ OFF), the V-STROM 800DE features G (Gravel) mode, a setting that retards ignition timing and allows a limited amount of tire slip when riding on unpaved surfaces.
- Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System
Suzuki’s electronic throttle control system takes advantage of the ECM to control the action of the throttle valves and make it possible for settings to more finely control the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics.
- Bi-Directional Quick Shifter
The Bi-directional Quick Shift System enables the rider to shift up or down without operating the clutch lever while in motion.
- Two-Mode ABS
- Controller Area Network (CAN bus)
- Rear ABS Off Mode
- Controller Area Network (CAN bus)
- Engine Control Module (ECM)
- Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS)
- Suzuki Easy Start System
- Low RPM Assist
- Chassis:
- Engineering with purpose
The V-STROM 800DE is a top-performing adventure tourer that is equally adept in daily on-road use and at high-speed touring as it is when exploring gravel roads and country trails.
- Chassis Geometry (dimensions)
The V-STROM 800DE’s features a dedicated chassis geometry with a long wheelbase, long rake, tall ground clearance and a wide handlebar grip
- Rugged steel frame
At its core, the strong steel frame provides excellent straight-line stability, contributes to nimble handling and performs well at highway speeds, while at the same time featuring the right amount of flex to help maximize comfort on long rides or when passing over rural trails.
- Alloy swingarm
The V-STROM 800DE adopts a highly attractive and tough looking aluminium swingarm with a unique shape that enhances vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity to support straight-line stability in keeping with the model’s chassis geometry and long suspension travel.
- Optimized Front and Rear Suspension
Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) inverted front forks deliver a smooth, controllable ride.
- Tuned Suspension with Long Travel
The front and rear suspension spring rate, valve, and piston settings are custom-tuned to maximize performance and comfort when riding on all surfaces, paved or gravel.
- Semi-Block Pattern Tyres
The new 90/90-21 21 inch front and 150/70R17 17 inch rear Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyres feature a new semi-block tread pattern with long, straight diagonal grooves that achieve both solid traction on unpaved surfaces and reduce pattern noise when riding on paved roads.
- Wire-Spoked Wheels
The V-STROM 800DE rides on wire-spoked wheels and adopts a 21-inch aluminium front and 17 inch rear rim for greater stability and better control when tearing up gravel roads.
- Sure Stopping Power
Suzuki chose front brake calipers that best match for the V-STROM 800DE’s fork pitch and wire-spoked tires.
- Styling:
- Adventure for a New Era
In developing the styling for the new V-STROM 800DE, Suzuki’s design team set their goal as follows.
- Windscreen
- Seat designed for performance and comfort
- Front fender
- Plastic Under Cover and Dedicated Stands
