The engine adopting Suzuki's unique "Suzuki Cross Balancer," which is a highlight of the V-STROM series, suppresses unpleasant vibrations while delivering an energetic ride full of pulsation.

The "V-STROM 800," which pursues comfort on the road, promises a refined riding position that does not make you feel fatigue even during long-distance highway cruising. On the other hand, the "V-STROM 800DE," equipped with a front 21-inch wheel, will surely demonstrate mobility that is fearless of unpaved roads and stimulate a sense of adventurous freedom.

Both models are equipped with an advanced electronic control system, "S.I.R.S. (Suzuki Intelligent Ride System)." It instantly optimizes traction control and power modes according to the ever-changing road conditions, providing a response that is faithful to the rider's intentions.
