SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Jan. 09, 2025 – Suzuki has announced exciting updates for the V-Strom 800 adventure touring motorcycle for the 2025 model year. The versatile bike receives Euro 5+ compliance and a refreshed color palette, making it an even more appealing choice for riders seeking thrilling adventures and comfortable long-distance journeys.
Powerful and Characterful Engine
At the heart of the V-Strom 800 beats a potent 776cc parallel-twin engine, renowned for its distinctive character and broad, usable powerband. The 270-degree firing order delivers a unique feel and exciting sound reminiscent of a V-twin, while Suzuki's Cross Balancer technology minimizes vibrations for a smooth and refined riding experience. With 84 horsepower peaking at 8,500 rpm and 78 Nm of torque available at 6,800 rpm, the V-Strom 800 offers exhilarating performance across the rev range.
Advanced Electronics for Enhanced Performance
The Euro 5+ compliant engine features advanced electronics, including ride-by-wire throttle and a sophisticated engine management system, ensuring precise throttle response and optimal performance in all conditions. The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) allows riders to tailor the engine's power delivery to suit their preferences and riding conditions, with three distinct modes to choose from. Low RPM Assist helps prevent stalling and makes navigating traffic a breeze.
Comprehensive Rider Assistance Suite
The V-Strom 800 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of rider assistance systems for enhanced safety and control. The Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) offers three levels of intervention, or it can be deactivated entirely. A two-mode Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provides confident braking performance, while the standard bi-directional quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for a more engaging and sporty riding experience.
Agile and Comfortable Chassis
Built on a robust steel frame, the V-Strom 800's chassis strikes a perfect balance between agility and stability. Whether navigating twisty backroads or cruising at high speeds, the bike delivers a confident and composed ride. High-quality, adjustable suspension components and lightweight 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels contribute to the bike's exceptional handling and comfort.
Touring-Focused Features
The V-Strom 800 is designed with long-distance comfort in mind. The rider triangle provides a comfortable and commanding riding position, while the plush seat offers ample space for both rider and passenger. A large 20-liter fuel tank, combined with the engine's impressive fuel efficiency, ensures extended riding range. Other touring-friendly features include rubber-covered footpegs and an aerodynamically optimized windscreen that is adjustable for optimal wind protection.
Modern Amenities and Styling
A 5-inch full-color TFT LCD multi-function display provides riders with essential information in a clear and concise format. The display features two modes – day (white) and night (black) – for optimal visibility in varying light conditions. Full LED lighting, including distinctive stacked hexagonal headlights and daytime running lights, enhances the V-Strom 800's modern and stylish appearance.
