Suzuki Motorcycle India has rolled out the 2025 V-Strom 800DE, now compliant with OBD-2B emission norms. Priced at Rs. 10.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the updated adventure tourer comes with refreshed colour options and continues to be packed with high-end features and off-road capability. If you’re into serious long-distance rides or weekend trail adventures, the V-Strom 800DE might just fit the bill.
Colours
One of the key visual updates in the 2025 model comes through its new paint schemes. Suzuki has introduced three striking colours to make this ADV stand out even more:
- Pearl Tech White with blue spoke wheels
- Champion Yellow No.2 featuring black panels and blue rims
- Glass Sparkle Black with grey-red graphics and black wheels
These colours not only enhance road presence but also reflect the bike’s rugged character and adventure-ready personality.
Engine
The V-Strom 800DE continues with its powerful 776cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. With a 270-degree crankshaft, it mimics the deep, thumpy feel of a V-twin while ensuring smoother delivery.
Here’s a snapshot of the engine specs:
| Engine Specs | Details |
|---|---|
| Displacement | 776cc |
| Power Output | 84bhp @ 8,500rpm |
| Torque | 78Nm @ 6,800rpm |
| Transmission | 6-speed |
| Crankshaft | 270-degree |
The engine’s torque-rich midrange and smooth gearshifts make it suitable for both city commutes and long rides across challenging terrains.
Hardware
Built for adventure, the V-Strom 800DE is equipped with wire-spoke wheels — 21 inches up front and 17 inches at the rear — wrapped in block-pattern tyres that are ready for dirt. A generous 220mm ground clearance and the same figure for suspension travel mean this bike isn’t scared of off-road trails.
Suspension duties are handled by Showa upside-down front forks and a Showa monoshock at the rear. The 20-litre fuel tank also makes sure you don’t have to worry about frequent fuel stops when out on a tour.
Features
Suzuki has ensured the 800DE isn’t just rugged, but also loaded with tech. The five-inch full-colour TFT screen is easy to read and customizable. Meanwhile, the full LED lighting setup ensures visibility and safety in all conditions.
It also comes equipped with Suzuki’s Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S), which includes:
- Traction Control System with Gravel Mode
- Suzuki Drive Mode Selector
- Bi-directional quickshifter
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- Dual-channel ABS with multiple modes
- Easy Start System
- Low RPM assist
- USB charging port
These features provide the rider with the ability to fine-tune the bike’s behavior based on road and weather conditions, ensuring maximum comfort and control.
Competition
In India, the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE finds itself in competitive company. It takes on:
- Honda Transalp XL750
- Triumph Tiger 900 GT
- BMW F850GS
Each of these bikes has its own strengths, but the V-Strom carves out a niche with its refined motor, strong feature set, and Suzuki’s reliability.
