SUZUKI V-Strom 800DE - The drives

Experience pure adventure spirit on all roads. Take a quick turn into the city, enjoy a longer ride overland or explore challenging trails? The powerful beat of the brand new two-cylinder engine will fire you up wherever you go. On off-road tracks and rough gravel, you need maximum directional stability. That's why the V-Strom 800DE (Dual Explorer) has a 21-inch front wheel, as befits a true enduro. The long-stroke SHOWA suspension elements easily swallow even the roughest holes. And the sophisticated geometry gives you the freedom of movement that you need in the terrain. 270-degree ignition offset: The brand-new DOHC twin inspires you with rich punch from the rev range and lets you sprint off with sheer endless revving joy when it really gets down to business. And with the three drive modes, you always have the engine characteristics you need for your adventure. The styling of the V-Strom 800DE translates the design language of the legendary DR-Z desert racer into the 21st century. Above the characteristic beak, a compact LED unit, which in its aggressiveness would look good on many a fighter. Plus a rally-style windshield and protectors. Simply all-round adventure spirit in its purest form.
