2023 Suzuki V-STROM 800DE

SUZUKI PROTECTION PLAN

Suzuki Protection Plan is a comprehensive plan that covers all mechanical, electrical and computer systems on your Suzuki Motorcycle or ATV. Ask your local Authorized Dealer about Suzuki Protection Plan for extra peace of mind.

THE NEW V-STROM 800DE ENGINE

V-STROM 800DE’s newly developed 776cm3 parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance to the high end.  

V-STROM 800DE’s engine is ideal for the back roads. It demonstrates tenacious staying power at extremely low speeds, which makes for easy control on gravel and hard dirt roads. 
This new engine introduces Suzuki Cross Balancer, which suppresses vibration for smoother operation and contributes to a lightweight powerplant that is more compact from front to rear. 
Finally, the six-speed transmission realizes smooth shifting and improved controllability, and Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting.  

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (SIRS)

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) is a system that better supports the rider in matching performance to the riding conditions, riding surface or preferred riding style, resulting in a more pleasurable ride. 

• Bi-directional Quick Shift system (with ON/OFF) provides quicker and smoother operation without the need to operate the clutch lever
• Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) with optional G (gravel) mode allows the rider to match the performance of the bike to the riding conditions to better negotiate gravel roads and dirt roads
• Ride-by-wire electronic throttle responds faithfully to the rider’s intentions
• ABS system with 2 mode settings + off allows the rider to control braking performance on gravel
• Suzuki Easy Start System starts the engine with one quick press of the starter button
• Low RPM assist helps maintain engine idle speed for smoother and easier starts
• Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) realizes a light touch to clutch lever operation that helps reduce fatigue on long rides and contributes to smoother shifting 

RUGGED DESIGN, NIMBLE HANDLING, SUPERIOR RIDE

The V-Strom 800DE features a rugged new steel frame that contributes to comfort, straight-line stability and nimble handling. Narrow profile seat rails are engineered to handle the rigors of unpaved surfaces, even with optional sidecases mounted. 

FRONT AND REAR STROKE

• The Longest Front and Rear Stroke Available on V-Strom
• With 220mm ground clearance the V-Strom 800DE has more ground clearance than any other V-Strom model.  

ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION FOR A BETTER RIDE

The fully-adjustable Hitachi Astemo (SHOWA) inverted front forks, with a long 220mm stroke, deliver a smooth controllable ride, while the adjustable SHOWA link-type rear suspension with 220mm of travel contributes to agility and stability. Additionally, the spring preload can be adjusted by hand when adding a passenger or luggage.

REAR TIRE

With dual front 310mm diameter floating-mount disc brakes, the V-Strom 800DE provides the comfort and reassurance of sure stopping power and controllability. 

FRONT TIRE

Attractive and functional wire-spoked 21-inch front and 17-inch rear Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour adventure tires feature a semi-block pattern and custom-engineered internal structure.  

SWINGRAM

The uniquely shaped lightweight aluminum swingarm has enhanced torsional rigidity to support the increased suspension travel and contributes to straight line stability. 

KNUCKLE GUARDS

The V-Strom 800DE also features knuckle guards to protect your hands from the elements, a plastic under cover and it is the first V-Strom to feature a radiator guard, protecting against flying stones or other objects on unpaved roads.

FUEL TANK

A large 20-L capacity fuel tank means fewer stops to deliver superior touring range.

WINDSCREEN

Experience less fatigue with the shock-absorbing wide tapered handlebars that use a strong yet flexible aluminum material.  

A short windscreen maximizes visibility when exploring gravel surfaces yet protects the rider from buffeting when touring at higher speeds.

SEAT

As well, the solid-mount rider seat is rugged to withstand the input load of riding on unpaved surfaces, and rubber-covered footpegs with slip-resistant surface allow freedom of movement and an upright riding position.

V-STROM 800DE ELECTRONICS

V-STROM 800DE features a new 5-inch colour TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel with both day and night visibility features for easy operability in all light conditions. A USB port is built into the left side of the meter cluster.

LED LIGHTING

It also features full LED lighting with both the front stacked headlight for a clear view of what’s ahead, along with compact LED position lights, turn signals, and tail light to ensure visibility. 

V-STROM 800DE STYLING

V-Strom 800DE features functional beauty that symbolizes the future of Suzuki design, while respecting the V-Strom heritage. 
The distinctive V-Strom “beak” is positioned higher to visually convey the extended suspension stroke and the model’s ability to handle gravel and dirt roads. The bodywork features flatter surfaces with sharp lines, exciting colours and dynamic decals. 

Low RPM Assist

Low RPM Assist uses the ISC mechanism to help raise engine rpm slightly in launching and riding at low speed. This feature helps smoother operation when pulling away and when riding at slow speeds, this means it’s easier to pull away and easier to control the engine in stop-start traffic.

SDMS - Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2 maps in the case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. Selecting and switching between mode settings is by a switch on the handlebar; the selected mode setting is displayed on the tachometer. The feature helps the rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations. * The technology is used in GSX-R1000, 750, 600, DL1050 and Hayabusa.

Easy Start System

On a normal motorcycle when starting the engine, the rider needs to press and hold the starter switch until the engine fires up. With the Suzuki Easy Start, all you need to do is one quick push of the starter switch, just like starting a modern car engine. The ECM recognizes the signals and keeps the starter motor working for a specified time.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM

Bi-Directional Quick Shift System lets you shift up or down without the need to operate the clutch or throttle for seamless shifting. When activated, Quick Shift automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration when you shift up. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio.

RIDE BY WIRE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM

Not only is this new cable-free system simpler, lighter and more compact than a mechanical throttle, it provides light, natural, linear response to throttle operation. Precision control over throttle valve action, as realized by leveraging the onboard 32-bit ECM, also makes it possible to introduce other advanced systems that enhance riding ease and controllability.

Gravel Mode

Adds a new gravel mode to Suzuki Traction Control System help riders more confidently navigate gravel roads.

2-Mode ABS

Allows the rider to shift between two levels of ABS intervention. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention, while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively.

STCS - Suzuki Traction Control System

Suzuki’s traction control system continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear position sensor, and quickly reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected. Engine output is controlled by managing ignition timing and air delivery to ensure smoother traction control operation. As a result, the rider can enjoy more comfortable long-distance riding, with less stress and fatigue.

Rear ABS Off Mode

Allows the rider to switch off rear ABS for improved performance on gravel and other unpaved surfaces.
