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.
• Use of long-reach iridium spark plugs helps cool the cylinder head and deliver a strong spark that helps combustion efficiency which can improve fuel economy and 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.
• 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.
• Dual, linked 42mm electronic throttle bodies provide an authentic response and feel to the rider’s throttle operation.
• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure employs two 10-hole, long-nose, 49 PSI (343kpa) high-pressure-feed fuel injectors that maximize fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and helps reduce fuel consumption.
• The stainless-steel 2-into-1 exhaust system uses a high flow, dual-stage catalytic converter inside the mid-pipe that helps satisfy worldwide emissions standards as a long, upswept muffler is attractive and well positioned for future accessory mounting.

Transmission Features

• 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.
• 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.
• Riding on durable steel sprockets, a strong O-ring style drive chain contains lubrication pre-packed between the pins and rollers for quiet, reliable operation.

Chassis Features

• 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.
• Matched to the V-STROM 800DE Adventure’s chassis geometry and long suspension is a uniquely shaped aluminum swingarm that enhances vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity to aid straight-line and cornering performance.
• 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 rides on sturdy spoke-style wheels and is equipped with a 21-inch front wheel for good performance off road. The rear 17-inch wheel accepts larger tires for good ride compliance. Both wheels feature blue-anodized aluminum rims laced with stainless steel spokes that absorb shock from irregular road surfaces well. Shod with 90/90-21 front and 150/70R17 rear Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tires offering good grip and nimble handling on un-paved trails.
• The front brakes use a pair of strong, but lightweight dual-piston NISSIN-supplied front brake calipers that are axially mounted grasping 310mm diameter discs and rear brake combines a single-piston, slide-pin style NISSIN caliper with a 260mm disc, providing the rider the braking feel that aids low speed maneuvering. These brakes are equipped with a compact Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** and can elect to be switched off on the rear wheel for off-road use.
• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure has a durable aluminum under cover. This thick aluminum “skid plate” provides additional engine and exhaust protection when riding over rocks and rough terrain. Also included are Suzuki’s ADV-style, 37-liter aluminum panniers that attach to powder-coated, stainless-steel carriers.

Electrical Features

• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure’s instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch TFT screen.
• The advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) helps V-STROM 800DE Adventure riders optimize performance characteristics to best suit their riding style, level of experience, and the riding conditions. This makes the V-STROM 800DE Adventure 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 S.I.R.S. suite includes the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), the Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS), Ride-by-Wire electric throttle system, Suzuki Easy Start, and Low RPM Assist systems and the Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) that supports the rider in a variety of conditions.
• Key to the operation of the S.I.R.S., the V-STROM 800DE uses a Controller Area Network (CAN bus). The CAN Bus allows the 32-bit, dual-core ECM to efficiently operate the fuel-injection system, Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies, ignition, and other electrical features on the V-STROM 800DE Adventure.
• The V-STROM 800DE Adventure has lightweight and low-draw LED lighting all the way around offering superior visibility and excellent durability.
• A USB-type accessory slot is conveniently located on the left side of the instrument panel dash. This fused slot can provide up to 5.0 VDC at a maximum current of 2.0A. The slot is ideal for powering a GPS unit or charging mobile devices.

Body & Styling Features

• 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 V-STROM 800DE Adventure 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.
• Designed for performance and comfort, the one-piece seat is built upon a strong, but lightweight base that helps keep seat height reasonable. The seat bottom, dense foam, and slip-resistant cover stands up to rigorous use while still providing all-day touring comfort for the rider plus a passenger.
• The mirrors feature a design that complements the V-STROM 800DE Adventure’s styling while proving an excellent view of objects behind the rider. Equipped with wide, steel footrests help the rider comfortably maneuver the V-STROM 800DE Adventure on diverse types of roads. Rubber inserts damp vibration but can be removed so the rider’s boots can have even more grip of the pegs.
• A standard item is the mesh guard that protects the radiator from flying stones and other debris when riding on the trail.
