Colours
Suzuki isn’t just playing the compliance game—it’s also upped the visual appeal of the V-Strom 800DE. The 2025 model now comes in three eye-catching colour schemes.
- Pearl Tech White: Paired with stylish blue spoked rims
- Champion Yellow No.2: A bold look with black body panels and blue rims
- Glass Sparkle Black: Dressed in grey and red graphics with sleek black rims
These colour updates not only add visual freshness but also help the motorcycle stand out in the competitive middleweight ADV segment.
Engine
At the heart of the V-Strom 800DE is a 776cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. It’s built around a 270-degree crankshaft, which gives the motor a deep, V-twin-like rumble. The engine produces 84bhp at 8,500rpm and 78Nm of torque at 6,800rpm, making it well-suited for long highway stretches and off-road adventures alike.
Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the engine setup ensures a refined yet powerful ride. Whether you’re cruising on tarmac or tackling trails, there’s enough grunt and smoothness to keep things exciting and comfortable.
Hardware
Built for serious adventure touring, the V-Strom 800DE comes equipped with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, wrapped in block-pattern tyres. These wheels provide excellent grip on loose surfaces while retaining road performance.
The suspension duties are handled by Showa upside-down forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. With 220mm of suspension travel and an equal amount of ground clearance, the V-Strom 800DE is ready to take on rough terrains without breaking a sweat.
And let’s not forget the 20-litre fuel tank—ideal for those who love going the distance without frequent fuel stops.
Features
Suzuki has packed the V-Strom 800DE with features to match its adventure-ready DNA. A five-inch colour TFT display sits at the centre, offering clear readouts and menu options. The bike also comes with full-LED lighting for improved visibility, a USB charging port for convenience, and plenty more tech under the hood.
The highlight here is the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), which includes:
- Suzuki Traction Control System with Gravel mode
- Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)
- Bi-directional quickshifter
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Switchable ABS modes
- Suzuki Easy Start System
- Low RPM assist
With all these features, the V-Strom 800DE is well-equipped to offer a balanced blend of tech, comfort, and adventure prowess.
