2025 Suzuki V-STROM 800DE

The 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:

• The 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.

• The 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.

• Designed 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.

• The 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.

• The 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.
