Suzuki V-Strom 800DE If you’ve ever dreamt of a motorcycle that feels just as comfortable on mountain trails as it does cruising down highways, Suzuki has something special for you this year. The much-anticipated 2025 V-Strom 800DE has officially landed in India, bringing with it rugged charm, advanced tech, and fresh new colours. Priced at ₹10.30 lakh (ex-showroom), this adventure-ready machine is now OBD-2B compliant, making it future-ready as well as feature-packed.
A Fresh Look That Speaks the Language of Adventure
Suzuki knows how important visual presence is for an ADV bike, and the updated Suzuki V-Strom 800DE certainly doesn’t disappoint. It now comes in three striking new colour options, each bringing its own personality to the road. The elegant Pearl Tech White with blue spoked wheels radiates a clean, premium vibe, while the Champion Yellow No.2 blends iconic Suzuki colours with aggressive styling through black panels and matching blue wheels. For those who prefer a darker, stealthier approach, the Glass Sparkle Black scheme with grey and red graphics over black wheels delivers a more intense and moody look.
Powerful Performance with a Soulful Rumble
At the heart of the 2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE lies a 776cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled DOHC engine that strikes the perfect balance between performance and smoothness. With 84bhp at 8,500rpm and 78Nm of torque at 6,800rpm, this engine is no slouch. Whether you’re carving through twisty mountain roads or tackling long-distance rides, it provides enough grunt to keep things exciting.
The engine’s 270-degree crankshaft gives it that distinctive V-twin-like rumble, making it not only powerful but also emotionally satisfying to ride. It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox that shifts crisply and efficiently, supporting both spirited rides and relaxed cruising.
Designed for the Long Haul and the Unexpected
The V-Strom 800DE isn’t just built to look tough it’s built to go the distance and handle unpredictable terrain. The bike rides on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped in block-pattern tyres, making it trail-ready from day one. A 20-litre fuel tank ensures you can cover long distances without constantly searching for fuel stops.
With Showa upside-down front forks and a Showa rear monoshock, the suspension setup offers a plush ride even when the roads disappear beneath you. And thanks to 220mm of ground clearance and suspension travel, you can take on rocky trails, gravel roads, and urban potholes without flinching.
Packed with Smart Tech for Smarter Riding
Suzuki hasn’t held back when it comes to features either. The five-inch colour TFT display is sharp, modern, and easy to read, keeping vital information front and center. You’ll also find LED lighting all around for better visibility, a handy USB charging port for your devices, and a suite of electronic riding aids under the umbrella of Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.).
This system includes Suzuki Traction Control with a dedicated Gravel mode, a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector to adjust throttle response based on conditions, bi-directional quickshifter, ride-by-wire throttle, ABS modes, low RPM assist, and the Easy Start System. Together, these features enhance rider safety, performance, and convenience whether you’re on the open road or venturing off it.
Taking on Rivals with Confidence
In the premium mid-weight adventure motorcycle space, the 2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE stands tall against some serious competition. Its direct rivals include the Honda Transalp XL750, Triumph Tiger 900 GT, and BMW F850GS. Yet, Suzuki’s latest offering manages to carve a unique niche for itself with its balanced performance, long-distance capability, and a truly rider-focused package that blends technology with reliability.
A Machine Built for More Than Roads
For riders who live to explore, who see every route as a story waiting to unfold, and who chase the horizon with an unrelenting spirit the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE is more than just a motorcycle. It’s an invitation to experience freedom, one unforgettable mile at a time.
