Description

Key Features

– Slim, compact and powerful, the Suzuki’s new 776cm3 parallel twin DOHC engine delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and pleasant free-revving performance across the high end.

– The engine’s 270-degree crankshaft layout delivers a pleasant feeling and note reminiscent of Suzuki’s V-twin engines, while Suzuki Cross Balancer contributes to smooth operation and a compact, lightweight engine design.

– Longer front suspension stroke (220mm) and longer rear suspension travel (220mm), together with 21-inch wire-spoked rims, realize higher ground clearance (220mm) and provide enhanced rideability on unpaved surfaces.

– With a capacity of 20L, the fuel tank extends your riding range to provide greater reassurance when touring for long distances.

– Adopts the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) with Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), the Bi-directional Quick Shift System, Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System, and Suzuki Traction Control System with G (Gravel) mode and Rear ABS Cancel mode settings suited for riding on unpaved surfaces.

– A custom 5-inch color TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel features a clearly legible display with a rich variety of information.

– While staying true to its V-STROM heritage and the Suzuki design ethos of creating unique styling expressions, the V-STROM 800DE offers the appeal of a thoroughly modern new look.

Engine Features

– Suzuki’s new parallel twin 776cm3 DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder engine combines smooth, controllable power from low rpm with the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance through to the high end. It is torquey and powerful, but also easy to control, with smooth throttle response and an inviting nature that provides a satisfying riding experience, whether enjoying a solo run or carrying a passenger.

– It is a slim powerplant with compact front-rear dimensions that help achieve the most effective chassis geometry for performance gains.

– Its 270-degree crankshaft design delivers a smooth ride, plenty of torque, positive traction, and a pleasing rumble and engine note similar to that of a V-twin engine.

– It also introduces the Suzuki Cross Balancer. The first biaxial primary balancer on a production motorcycle to position its two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft*, this patented** mechanism suppresses vibration to contribute to smooth operation, while its design also helps realize a lighter powerplant that is more compact from front to rear.

* Based on Suzuki research as of November 2022.

** Patent granted for biaxial primary balancer that positions its two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft.

– Cooling system inlet control helps maintain consistent engine temperature and eliminate rough idle while warming the engine in cold weather.

– The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.

– The 2-into-1 exhaust system features a dual-stage catalytic converter inside the collector that helps satisfy Euro 5 emissions standards, as well as a long, upswept muffler design.
