    After a very long wait, Suzuki has finally launched the V-Strom 800DE at an introductory price of Rs 10.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

    1. 776cc parallel-twin engine makes 84.3hp, 78Nm
    2. Rides on 21/17-inch wire-spoke rims but uses tubed tyres
    3. Gets a TFT dash, full set of electronic rider aids

    Suzuki V-Strom 800DE engine, features, delivery details

    The V-Strom 800DE is powered by Suzuki’s new liquid-cooled, 776cc, 270-crank parallel-twin engine, which is rated for 84.3hp and 78Nm. A 6-speed gearbox is mated to this new mill with a slip-and-assist clutch and a bidirectional quickshifter is standard.

    The V-Strom 800DE features the same steel frame as its naked sibling - the GSX-8S - but its subframe has been lengthened and made tougher for coping with the extra load of a pillion as well as luggage. With its 20-litre fuel tank brimmed, the V-Strom 800DE weighs 232kg, while seat height is a relatively tall 855mm.

    One disappointment here is that unlike the erstwhile V-Strom 650XT, and like its closest Japanese rival the Honda Transalp 750, the spoked wheels on the 800DE come shod with tubed Dunlop Mixtour rubber.

    A comprehensive number of electronic aids are standard including four riding modes (with a dedicated Gravel mode), three traction control settings, the aforementioned bidirectional quickshifter and switchable dual-channel ABS. 

    At its introductory price of Rs 10.30 lakh, the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE is priced below its chief rival – the Honda Transalp 750 (Rs 11 lakh). Bookings are open at all Suzuki big-bike dealerships and it is available in three colours – Champion Yellow No. 2, Glass Matte Mechanical Gray and Glass Sparkle Black.
