<h2>Suzuki V-Strom 800DE</h2>

<p>Starting with the&nbsp;V-Strom 800DE, the vertically stacked LED headlight of the bike&nbsp;gives&nbsp;it a&nbsp;distinct appearance. The visor is both transparent and blacked out, creating a dual-tone aesthetic. The bike also gets a secondary fender beneath it, a wide handlebar with knuckle guards, and a single-piece seat.</p>

<p><img alt="Suzuki V Strom 800DE Bharat Mobility Expo" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Suzuki-V-Strom-800DE-Bharat-Mobility-Expo.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Coming to the engine specs, the&nbsp;V-Strom&nbsp;800DE from Suzuki&nbsp;gains a new 776cc DOHC parallel-twin engine that belts out&nbsp;78Nm of peak torque at 6,800rpm and 82bhp of maximum power&nbsp;at 8,500rpm.&nbsp;In addition, the engine has four valves per cylinder and a 270-degree crankshaft, which the bike manufacturer&nbsp;claims will aid in providing traction along with&nbsp;bottom-end torque for off-road activities.&nbsp;The V-Strom 800DE features wire-spoked 21-inch front wheels and 17-inch rear wheels with Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour rubber.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A fully adjustable Showa suspension system with 220mm of ground clearance and 220mm of travel on both ends is another characteristic of the V-Strom 800 DE. The motorcycle&nbsp;combines a steel frame chassis with an aluminum swingarm and a compact&nbsp;profile for better handling. Feature-wise, it&nbsp;boasts&nbsp;a customised 5-inch colour TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel, LED lighting, the Suzuki Traction Control System with G (Gravel) mode and rear ABS cancel mode options, the bi-directional quick shifter, the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), a low rpm assist, and a ride-by-wire electronic throttle system.</p>

<h2>Suzuki GSX-8R</h2>

<p>Moving on to the next model, the Suzuki GSX-8R is a middleweight sports bike, underpinned by the same 776cc engine platform as the GSX-8S and the V-Strom 800.&nbsp;The pointed fascia of the model&nbsp;gives it a sporty appearance. Sharp body panels, a transparent visor, and ducts on either side of the headlights make up the front end. The new GSX-8R is equipped with vertically stacked projector LEDs for lighting.&nbsp;Given that it is more focused on sports touring than a comprehensive supersport, the GSX-8R appears somewhat more laid back. In addition to the handlebar being high, the rider triangle is also upright.</p>

<p><img alt="Suzuki GSX 8R Bharat Mobility Expo" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Suzuki-GSX-8R-Bharat-Mobility-Expo.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Although the engine's exact specs are unknown, it is anticipated that the model&nbsp;will perform similarly to the GSR-8S, putting out about 83bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 78Nm of peak torque while being coupled to a 6-speed gearbox.&nbsp;The bike also has features like easy start, ABS, ride-by-wire, low rpm assist, traction control, and a bi-directional quickshifter. The Suzuki GSX-8R's gear comprises a steel frame with Showa SFF-BP forks and a connected rear shock. Its brakes consist of one 240mm rear disc and two 310mm front discs.&nbsp;These are mounted on 17-inch cast aluminum wheels fitted with Dunlop RoadSport 2 tyres.</p>


Bharat Mobility Expo: Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, GSX-8R Unveiled in India

Bharat Mobility Expo: The Suzuki GSX-8R is a middleweight sports bike, underpinned by the same 776cc engine platform as the GSX-8S and the V-Strom 800.

<p>Two test mules of the&nbsp;upcoming&nbsp;Suzuki V-Strom 800DE&nbsp;were spotted testing in Gurugram, India. This&nbsp;means&nbsp;that the&nbsp;two-wheeler manufacturer could launch the&nbsp;V-Strom 800DE in our market soon.&nbsp;While there is no official update with respect to the same, we expect it to make its market entry by late 2023, with an asking price of around Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom). For the uninitiated, the middleweight adventure motorcycle debuted at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in 2022 and was launched worldwide in December of the same year.&nbsp;The&nbsp;V-Strom 800DE will be a replacement model for the 650cc version, which is currently on sale.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the manufacturer,&nbsp;the V-Strom 800DE is a touring bike with an off-road focus. On the looks front, the&nbsp;Suzuki V-Strom 800DE will get&nbsp;a short windscreen, a pronounced beak, and elevated handlebars with a guard for a more relaxed riding position. In addition, the bike will also have&nbsp;a vertically stacked LED headlamp, a transparent visor, a single-piece saddle, and pannier mounts.</p>
