2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Adventure Base

2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Adventure

The 2025 Suzuki V-STROM 800DE Adventure redefines mid-size Adventure motorcycles with unparalleled dirt and touring capability. Equipped for long-distance exploration, it combines the robust power of a new-generation 776cc DOHC parallel-twin engine with the highest ground clearance of any V-STROM, thanks to its fully adjustable long-travel suspension. Spoke-style wheels, including a 21-inch front wrapped in the latest Dunlop ADV tires, enhance off-road performance, making this V-STROM Adventure ready for any 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.

• Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki and used for the first time on a production motorcycle, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.

• 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 Adventure’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 Adventure’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.

• Developed exclusively for the V-STROM 800DE and 800DE Adventure, the SHOWA supplied 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. The long travel suspension offers 8.7-inch (220mm) for both the front and rear.

• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure’s instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch TFT screen.

• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure has lightweight and low-draw LED lighting all the way around offering superior visibility and excellent durability.

• Retaining the prominent “beak” that was pioneered on Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big, the lines of the body work are sharper with flatter surfaces to create a tough yet sophisticated look. Different colored panels feature angular lines that further amplify the V-STROM 800DE Adventure’s modern, aggressive look.

• 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.
