Satisfying Power That Makes Every Outing Exciting
The 776cm3 parallel twin engine that powers the V-STROM 800 delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power and free-revving performance you will enjoy on every outing, whether heading out for a long journey loaded with gear or simply enjoying daily rides around town. Designed to be powerful, efficient, rider-friendly and versatile, the engine features a 270-degree crank layout with a firing order that produces abundant torque and positive traction, as well as a pleasing rumble similar to that of a V-twin engine. The engine’s compact front-to-rear size contributes to achieving optimum weight distribution and chassis geometry, while it also helps position the hip point forward to provide you with an optimal riding position.
Suzuki Cross Balancer
Developed specifically for the 776cm3 parallel twin engine, this patented* biaxial primary balancer suppresses vibration and contributes to smooth operation by positioning its two balancers equidistant at 90° to the crankshaft. Balancer No.1 cancels the primary vibration generated by the piston of the first cylinder, while balancer No.2 cancels the primary vibration of the second cylinder. Furthermore, placing the two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft with each positioned equidistant from the crankshaft cancels primary couple vibration, it also helps realize a lightweight powerplant that is more compact from front to rear.
Brakes
Two-Mode ABS
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) contributes to more stable braking by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking. There are two mode settings. Mode 1 provides minimal intervention while Mode 2 intervenes more proactively. Note: ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
Chassis
Engineered for Touring Comfort and Riding Pleasure
The chassis is engineered to deliver great cornering performance and provide sure and stable handling under all riding environments.
Every aspect of its design also prioritizes comfort while minimizing fatigue when touring for long distances. At its core, the strong steel frame provides excellent straight-line stability, contributes to nimble handling and performs well at highway speeds, while at the same time featuring the right amount of flex to help maximize comfort on long rides or when passing over rural trails. The seat rails are built to ably support the added weight of a passenger or loaded top and side cases, and they feature a narrow profile that helps you better control the bike with your legs. The lightweight construction of the uniquely shaped aluminum swingarm contributes to a smoother, more comfortable ride by enhancing trackability and rear suspension response.
Instrumentation
Color TFT LCD Instrument Panel
The V-STROM 800 adopts a custom 5-inch color TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel. Clearly legible high-quality information displays keep you fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings, and supply vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer does double duty as a programmable rpm indicator that blinks when the engine reaches a preset speed, and the LCD includes a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and warnings. Manual or automatic settings for switching between the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximize visibility at any hour and in any riding situation
Electrical
USB Port for Easy Charging
A USB (Type-A) port built into the left side of the multifunction instrument panel provide up to 5V output voltage and 2A maximum current.
Convenience
Suzuki Easy Start System
One quick press of a button lets you start the engine. As a function used on every outing, Easy Start makes your riding experience all the more pleasurable and convenient
Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System
This cable-free system leverages the onboard ECM to finely control the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics. Individual settings are tuned to optimize output to match throttle grip action, particularly when first opening the throttle. This improves controllability and provides faithful response.
Low RPM Assist
By ensuring smoother and easier starts, this function helps you control the bike more easily in stop-and-go traffic. It uses TI-ISC (Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control) to help maintain engine idle speed as you release the clutch lever while launching from a standing start, or when riding at low speeds.
