Suzuki V-Strom 800DE

The Suzuki V-Strom 800DE is the dirt-capable version of the mid-size V-Strom adventure bike, and Suzuki Motor USA lists it for 2026 as the most dirt-capable V-Strom. It is powered by the next-generation 776 cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin with a 270-degree crankshaft and the Suzuki Cross Balancer, and it sits in a steel backbone frame. Suzuki states that it has the highest ground clearance in the V-Strom lineup, fully adjustable long-travel suspension and spoke-style wheels with a 21 inch front wheel on Dunlop adventure tyres. The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System adds a gravel traction control mode and switchable rear ABS, and a Dakar Rally-inspired beak completes the styling. The specification page gives a curb weight of 230 kilograms and a 20 litre fuel tank.
