Suzuki V-Strom 800DE: If someone wants to ride far away from the city and explore highways, hills, and even rough roads, then the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE is built for that kind of journey. This bike is not like normal daily bikes. It is made for travel and adventure. The starting price is Rs 11,00,763 (ex-showroom), which clearly shows it is a premium machine.
The V-Strom 800DE comes in the mid-weight category. That means it has good power for long rides but is still easier to handle than very big heavy bikes. Suzuki has been making V-Strom bikes for many years, but this one feels new because it gets a fresh engine and is more focused on off-road riding.

Strong Engine and Smooth Performance
This bike runs on a 776cc parallel-twin engine. It gives around 83 bhp power and 78 Nm torque. In simple words, this means the bike can go fast when needed and also stay smooth on long rides. It works well on highways and also on mountain roads.
The engine uses something called a 270-degree crank. And due to that the bike feels a bit like a V-twin engine while riding. It also has a 6-speed gearbox and a quickshifter which helps the rider change gears without using the clutch.

One of the best things about this bike is how it handles bad roads. It comes with fully adjustable Showa suspension with 220 mm travel. This helps the bike move easily over bumps and uneven surfaces.
The wheel setup is also made for off-road use. It has a 21-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. Along with 220 mm ground clearance, the bike can go over rough paths without much trouble.

Smart Features
The bike also comes with many modern features. It has Suzuki’s Intelligent Ride System, which gives different riding modes. It also has traction control and a special Gravel mode for off-road use. The ABS can also be adjusted, which helps when riding on loose surfaces like mud or sand.
There is a 5-inch TFT screen that shows all important details clearly. The bike also has a USB port so riders can charge their phone while travelling.
Design
The design of the bike looks tough and sporty. It has a Dakar-style look with a tall body and strong parts. It also comes with protection parts like a radiator guard and underbody cover, so it can handle rough conditions.
The fuel tank is 20 litres, which is good for long rides because you do not have to stop again and again for fuel. The riding position is upright, which makes long rides less tiring. The handlebar is wider which gives better control.
The seat height is 855 mm, and the bike weighs around 230 kg. So shorter riders or beginners may feel it is a bit tall and heavy.
