2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE

2025 Suzuki V-STROM 800DEThe 2025 Suzuki V-STROM 800DE continues to be the benchmark as the most dirt-capable V-STROM, offering true all-terrain performance in the mid-size Adventure category. Powered by Suzuki’s new-generation 776cc DOHC parallel-twin engine, this adventure bike is engineered for riders seeking a balance of versatility, off-road capability, and reliability. Its 270-degree crankshaft and exclusive Suzuki Cross Balancer deliver a smooth and torque-rich riding experience, ideal for those ready to take on paved roads—or dirt trails—on their journey.Features may include:EngineThe 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a superb balance of smooth controllable torque-rich power from low RPM and freely revs up to its peak power output. The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides similar power delivery characteristics as the 90-degree V-twins used in other V-STROM models, while producing a unique and exciting exhaust note.The spaced nature of the engine’s power pulses enhances traction and contributes to strong power output at extremely low speeds, making the V-STROM 800DE easier to ride on forest roads and trails.TransmissionThe six-speed transmission features gear ratios that deliver exciting acceleration, whether shifting normally or when using the standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift system to shift without clutch operation.The V-STROM 800DE’s precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the ideal gear for the riding conditions.ChassisDesigned around the compact parallel twin engine and constructed with rugged steel pipe, the V-STROM 800DE’s backbone style frame was engineered to help provide the foundational strength required for excellent straight-line performance and nimble handling when negotiating rugged trails or touring at highway speeds.The V-STROM 800DE rides on sturdy spoke-style wheels and is equipped with a 21-inch front wheel for greater stability and better control off pavement. The rear 17-inch wheel has a 150mm wide tire for better grip and ride compliance. The 90/90-21 front and 150/70R17 rear Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tires feature a semi-block tread pattern with long, straight diagonal grooves to provide traction off-road.ElectricalThe advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) helps V-STROM 800DE riders optimize performance characteristics to best suit their riding style, level of experience, and the riding conditions. This makes the V-STROM 800DE more predictable and more enjoyable out on the trail, on a twisty road, or touring down the highway, and it adds up to a more exciting, confident, and fun riding experience.The V-STROM 800DE’s instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch, TFT screen.Body & StylingThe V-STROM 800DE uses a three-piece front fender assembly that combines the effectiveness of a conventional V-STROM fender with the protection of fork guards like those used on an MX bike.The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon (20L) capacity but is shaped to be thin at the rear to flow into the slim seat, which aids the rider in touching the ground at stops.
