Be the first to arrive, propelled by a new-generation 776cc parallel-twin engine in a chassis with the most ground clearance of any V-STROM thanks to long, fully adjustable suspension, plus spoke-style wheels led by the 21-inch hoop up front shod with the latest Dunlop ADV tires.The 776cc DOHC parallel-twin engine employs 270-degree crankshaft timing with the industry-exclusive Suzuki Cross Balancer to deliver a smooth, torque-rich experience. The V-STROM 800DE Adventure is ideal for riders who desire more power than a 650cc engine can deliver and does so in an economical and reliable way.Features may include:The compact 776cc parallel-twin engine uses a 270-degree firing order for strong torque production and is equipped with Suzuki’s exclusive Cross Balancer system for smooth operation.Visually stunning, the angular bodywork retains Suzuki’s distinctive Adventure “beak” and is coated in a stunning Metallic Matte Steel Green color scheme with yellow trim and subtle graphics, and rides on spoke-style wheels with gold anodized rims.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 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 control on forest roads and trails.DRIVELINEThe 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 transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip to enable smooth downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch, increasing plate pressure under acceleration, but always keeps the clutch lever pull light and precise.CHASSISDesigned around the new, compact parallel twin engine and constructed with rugged steel pipe, the V-STROM 800DE’s backbone style frame was engineered to provide the strength needed for excellent straight-line stability and nimble handling when negotiating rugged trails or touring at highway speeds.Developed exclusively for the V-STROM 800DE and V-STROM 800DE Adventure, the front fork and single-shock rear suspensions’ spring rate and damping force settings were tuned to maximize performance and comfort when riding on all surfaces, on- or off-road.BODY & STYLINGWhen developing the styling for the V-STROM 800DE and 800DE Adventure, Suzuki’s design team chose to continue the heritage of the V-STROM series while presenting a thoroughly modern look in line with current trends, and blend in other features to push the motorcycle ahead of others in its category. And the total look must reflect the all-around capabilities of this new Adventure modelThe body graphics are modernized and presented in a subtle manner to not detract from the motorcycle’s overall appearance.
