2024 Suzuki V-STROM 800
Description
With the introduction of the 2024 Suzuki V-STROM 800, the V-STROM family of motorcycles grows again to bring even greater comfort, capability, and choice to Adventure touring. The “V” in V-STROM stands for “Versatile” and the V-STROM 800 fits that moniker well.
The excitement from the launch of the dirt-capable Suzuki V-STROM 800DE is still buzzing through the streets and trails, and now its sibling V-STROM 800 is here with a chassis setup to provide superb comfort and performance for sport riding and long-distance touring. Highly capable at highway speeds or when exploring less-traveled routes, it is equally as enjoyable and practical to ride daily around town for fun or commuting.
Like any V-STROM, you can ride nearly any road, propelled by a new-generation 776cc DOHC parallel twin engine that delivers a balance of smooth, controllable power at low engine speeds and can deliver a free-revving rush of high engine speed performance. The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides power delivery characteristics and an exciting exhaust note like V-Stroms with 90-degree V-twin engines. The patented Suzuki Cross Balancer further contributes to smooth operation and a compact, lightweight engine design.
The rugged steel backbone frame takes advantage of the engine’s compact size, resulting in a chassis that is nimble and steady. The new SHOWA SFF-BP inverted fork smoothly controls front wheel movement, as does the rear shock absorber that employs a remote, hand-operated hydraulic spring preload adjuster so tuning for a passenger or cargo takes just seconds.
The SHOWA suspension is tuned to maximize straight-line and cornering performance. The fork also supports the new, radially mounted NISSIN four-piston brake calipers that grasp a pair of 310mm stainless steel brake rotors. The front calipers and the rear caliper with its 260mm rotor are monitored by a compact ABS** system that features a choice of two mode settings the rider can choose for differing road conditions.
New seven-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are shod with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tire. Dunlop’s new D614F/D614 tubeless ADV tires were engineered exclusively for the V-STROM 800 and feature a new tread pattern and a custom-engineered internal structure for superb pavement operation plus the ability to explore that new unpaved road that just caught your eye.
A full-color, 5-inch TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel provides the rider access and on-the-fly control over the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) suite of advanced electronic control systems that include the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the Suzuki Traction Control System*, and Suzuki’s Bi-Directional Quick Shift system.
Ride all day in comfort thanks to a wide, vibration-damping tapered handlebar, supportive seat, and rubber-padded footpegs. Tall and wide, the adjustable windscreen sits above a pair of stacked, compact Mono-focus LED headlights that throw out big-time illumination and the styling is unmistakably V-STROM with Suzuki’s iconic Dakar Rally-style beak.
The V-STROM 800 is more than a motorcycle, and it's even more than an Adventure motorcycle, it is really your new Adventure touring partner. Ride it as it is or grab the Suzuki Genuine Accessory catalog to personalize your V-STROM, so it is distinctly yours. Comfort, Capability and Choice – sounds like the beginning of a great riding partnership.
*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from losing grip.
**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

Engine
- The new design 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a superb balance of smooth controllable torque-rich power from low RPM and freely revs up to its peak power output.
- The spaced nature of the engine’s power pulses enhances traction and contributes to strong power output at all road speeds, to help make the V-STROM 800 a joy to command.
- The pistons were developed using FEM (Infinite Element Method) analysis to maximize strength and minimize weight.
- Dual, linked 42mm electronic throttle bodies provide an authentic response and feel to the rider’s throttle operation.
- The 6.0L air cleaner box shape and intake pipe lengths were created using computer-aided design to help maximize peak power output plus strong torque production at low engine speed. Positioned under the seat, the air box size and shape contribute to the V-STROM 800’s slim and compact chassis.
- A large-capacity radiator effectively cools the V-STROM 800’s parallel twin. A thermostatically controlled cooling fan helps stabilize coolant temperatures at low speed and stops.
- The V-STROM 800 is also equipped with a lightweight, compact liquid-cooled oil cooler that helps reduce lubrication temperatures for smooth and reliable engine operation.
- The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides similar power delivery characteristics as the 90-degree V-twins used in other V-Strom models, while producing a unique and exciting exhaust note.
- Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki and used for the first time on a production motorcycle, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.
- The 84mm cylinder bores inside the aluminum die-cast cylinders are plated using Suzuki’s Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) process. Originally developed for racing and proven on the track, the SCEM cylinder plating promotes better heat dissipation, reduces friction, and provides a consistent wear resistant seal to the pistons’ rings.
- The V-STROM 800 employs two 10-hole, long-nose, 49 PSI (343kpa) high-pressure-feed fuel injectors that maximize fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency and lower fuel consumption.
- The stainless-steel 2-into-1 exhaust system uses a high flow, dual-stage catalytic converter inside the mid-pipe that helps satisfy worldwide emissions standards as a long, upswept muffler is attractive and well positioned for future accessory mounting.
- The unique cooling system inlet control thermostat valve helps maintain consistent engine temperature and smooths the idle speed during warm-up. This helps stabilize combustion and contributes to reduced exhaust emissions.
Driveline
- The six-speed transmission features gear ratios that deliver exciting acceleration, whether shifting normally or when using the standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift system to shift without clutch operation.
- The transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip to enable smooth downshifts. It also works as an assist clutch, increasing plate pressure under acceleration, but always keeps the clutch lever pull light and precise.
- The large-diameter, wet, multi-plate clutch uses a precise cable-activated release, providing the rider with a light pull that also has superb friction-point feel.
- The V-STROM 800’s precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the ideal gear for the riding conditions.
- A sensor on the shift rod sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system precisely responds to the rider’s actions.
- Riding on durable steel sprockets, a strong O-ring style drive chain contains lubrication pre-packed between the pins and rollers for quiet, reliable operation.
Chassis
- Designed around the new, compact parallel-twin engine and constructed with rugged steel pipe, the V-STROM 800’s backbone style frame was engineered to provide the strength needed for excellent straight-line stability and nimble handling when negotiating urban traffic or touring at highway speeds. The engine is suspended and precisely fit to the frame to create a rigid chassis that also provides the compliance required for a variety of riding activities.
- The removable steel sub-frame has a narrow seat rail width that results in a slim seat profile that helps riders control the motorcycle with their legs. The frame and engine package helps create an off-road friendly chassis geometry with a long wheelbase and rake, tall ground clearance, and a wide handlebar grip.
- The engine’s short length permits an ergonomic design that places the rider’s hip point further forward than it would be on other Adventure motorcycles. This enables riders to shift their weight forward to enhance control over rough terrain and when negotiating tight corners. Compared to the V-STROM 800DE, the V-STROM 800 has a lower seat height (32.5 in.) and handlebar position that helps provide comfort on long rides.
- Matched to the V-STROM 800’s chassis geometry and suspension is a uniquely shaped aluminum swingarm that enhances vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity to aid straight-line performance and controlled cornering.
- The V-STROM 800 is equipped with the advanced SHOWA SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) inverted style fork that eliminates conventional damping cartridges in both fork legs to exclusively use the right fork leg as a large damping unit. This reduces weight and stabilizes the damping force characteristics to help cornering and straight-line performance for both sport and long-distance riding.
- The top of the left fork leg has a front spring preload adjuster so the spring preload can be tuned to match the rider’s preference or the riding conditions. The fork’s stroke is (150 mm) and the inner tube diameter is 43mm.
- The V-STROM 800 rides on new 7-spoke cast aluminum wheels that feature a distinctive “V” shape on each of the spokes. For optimal performance on all types of roads, the front wheel is 19-inches in diameter with a 17-inch diameter wheel in the back.
- The brake components on the V-STROM 800 are well-matched to the bike’s suspension and cast aluminum wheels. The new front brakes use a pair of strong, but lightweight four-piston NISSIN-supplied front brake calipers grasping 310mm diameter discs.
- The front calipers are radially mounted to the cast aluminum axle holders at the bottom of each fork leg. The rear brake combines a single-piston, slide-pin style NISSIN caliper with a 260mm disc, providing the rider precise braking control that aids low-speed maneuvering.
- The V-STROM 800 has a wide tapered handlebar cast in strong yet flexible aluminum that allows it to flex and absorb shock. The handlebar’s wide grip position helps provide enhanced control and feedback to the rider.
- The mirrors feature a design that complements the V-STROM 800’s styling while providing an excellent view of objects behind the rider.
- Designed for durability and comfort, the one-piece seat is built upon a strong, but lightweight base that helps keep seat height reasonable. The seat bottom, dense foam, and slip-resistant cover stand up to rigorous use while still providing all-day touring comfort for the rider and a passenger.
- Developed through wind tunnel testing and CAE (computer-aided evaluation) analysis, the V-STROM 800’s windscreen maximizes the rider’s visibility while minimizing the impact of wind pressing on the rider’s abdomen, chest, and shoulders. The windscreen’s mount provides for 3-step height adjustment that may be set in 0.6-inch (15mm) increments (using an included hex tool).
- **Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
- Matched to the V-STROM 800’s chassis geometry and suspension is a uniquely shaped aluminum swingarm that enhances vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity to aid straight-line performance and controlled cornering.
- The V-STROM 800’s suspension’s spring rate and damping force settings are tuned to maximize road performance and comfort.
- Also supplied by SHOWA, the shock absorber in the link-type rear suspension has a remote gas reservoir to stabilize operation on sporty or long rides.
- The shock absorber has a remote hydraulic preload adjuster so the spring rate may be adjusted quickly by hand when adding a passenger or cargo. In addition to the spring preload adjuster, the shock absorber also features adjustable rebound damping force that can be tuned to match the conditions or rider’s preference.
- Engineered exclusively to the V-STROM 800 are the new Dunlop D614F 110/80R19 front and D614 150/70R17 rear tires that feature a new tread pattern and custom-engineered internal structure. The exclusive tread pattern on these tubeless tires helps provide sure traction and braking, as well as smooth handling, even when riding on unpaved roads. The tread also introduces a new silica compound that enhances grip in wet conditions and minimizes wear.
- Compact Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** monitors wheel speed to match braking to available traction. The rider can select from two levels of ABS sensitivity (see the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) section for more information).
- The front brake lever has an adjustment knob so the rider can quickly set it to a comfortable reach. The shifter and rear brake pedal can also be adjusted (with hand tools) to the rider’s preference.
- The V-STROM 800’s rubber-covered aluminum footpegs are designed for comfort when touring with a good grip to the rider’s boots in all conditions. To help damp vibration, the rubber-covered steel passenger footpegs are attached to cast aluminum brackets to achieve the right balance of comfort and support.
- The fuel tank has a generous 5.3-gallon (20L) capacity but is shaped to be thin at the rear to flow into the slim seat, which aids the rider in touching the ground at stops. The internal construction and cap of the fuel tank were engineered so the gasoline capacity is the same for both the 49-state and California versions.
- The lightweight resin luggage rack incorporates easy-to-grasp grab bars and aligns with the passenger section of the seat, offering a larger surface for carrying cargo or luggage. The cargo section of the rack was designed to make installation of a Suzuki Genuine Accessory top case simple and secure.
Body and Styling
- When developing the styling for the V-STROM 800, Suzuki’s design team chose to continue the heritage of the V-Strom series while presenting a thoroughly modern look in line with current trends and blend in other features to push the motorcycle ahead of others in its category. And the total look must reflect the all-around capabilities of this extraordinary Adventure model.
- The body graphics are modernized and presented in a subtle manner to not detract from the motorcycle’s overall appearance.
- The “800” decals on the sides of the cowling pieces in front of the engine reflect the image of the competition numbers used on motocross and other competition motorcycles, while the “V-STROM” logo continues the motif introduced with the V-STROM 1050DE.
- Mindfulness extends to the engine as the clutch cover and magneto cover have a bronze-like finish that complements the V-STROM 800’s body color, while the SUZUKI name on the cover is in a contrasting color to bring attention to the modern engine.
- Retaining the prominent “beak” that was pioneered on Suzuki’s legendary DR-Z Dakar racer and the large DualSport DR-Big, the lines of the bodywork are sharper with flatter surfaces to create a tough yet sophisticated look. Different colored panels feature angular lines that further amplify the V-STROM 800’s modern, aggressive look.
- The V-STROM 800 has front fender mounted close to the front tire to reduce road dust and water from being thrown up on the motorcycle. The front edge of the fender acts as a fork guard for the fork’s inner tubes.
Electrical
- The V-STROM 800’s instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch, TFT LCD screen.
- The brightness-adjustable TFT display delivers a wide range of useful information, keeping the rider fully aware of all the bike’s systems, settings, and real-time operating status. The display can be set for manual or automatic switching between Day Mode (white background) and Night Mode (black background). The display’s general brightness can be set to automatically adjust to the ambient light level, or manually set to suit the rider’s preference.
- The main TFT panel is flanked by LED indicators, including: Left-turn signal indicator, MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp), neutral indicator light, master warning indicator, high-beam indicator light, right-turn signal indicator, TC (Traction Control) indicator, low oil pressure warning light, ABS indicator, and coolant temperature warning light.
- A USB-type accessory slot is conveniently located on the left side of the instrument panel dash. This fused slot can provide up to 5.0 VDC at a maximum current of 2.0A. The slot is ideal for powering a GPS unit or charging mobile devices.
- The V-STROM 800’s fairing features a stacked pair of hexagonal headlights that employ the bright, mono-focus LED light technology that provides the rider clear and bright illumination of the road ahead. The dual LED headlights are topped by a bright LED position light that improves the visibility of the motorcycle to other traffic while emphasizing the V-STROM’s Suzuki Dakar Rally bike styling and heritage.
- The rear tail and brake light is an LED type with a clear lens that offers higher visibility, low electrical draw, and excellent durability.
- This high-quality instrument panel is set into the upper fairing above the handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris. The TFT panel, itself, features a scratch-resistant surface, and an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.
- The TFT panel provides operational information in an easily recognizable way: The left side of the panel has an analog tachometer animation with a sweeping red needle that accurately shows engine speed all the way up to the 9,500 RPM redline.
- The tachometer can be preset to flash at certain engine speeds, acting like a shift light (it can be set in 250 RPM increments within a range from 4,000 to 9,500 RPM).
- To the left, center of the panel is a digital speedometer, quick-shift system status indicator, and gear position indicator. Directly below the speed display is a fuel level gauge. The upper right portion of the panel displays the clock and S.I.R.S. feature information such as the Traction Control, plus the S-DMS and ABS settings.
- Depending upon the rider’s selection, the lower portion of the right side of the panel can display coolant temperature, ambient air temperature, odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel consumption, and riding range. The panel can also be configured to display large pop-up alerts and warnings. These alerts can present service reminders or advise of an operational issue.
- The charging system uses a durable, oil-cooled three-phase stator. A high-capacity, maintenance-free style battery and fuses are easily accessible under the seat. Charging output is 375W @ 5,000 RPM.
- The handlebar switches are designed for intuitive operation (so the rider can maintain focus on the trail or the road). The right handlebar switch includes a poly-function engine stop-on-start rocker switch and a hazard flasher switch.
- The left handlebar switch was designed so selecting modes and making settings and adjustments for each of the advanced S.I.R.S. features simply involves operating the MODE button and the UP/DOWN switch (which recognizes long and short presses). Headlight control is literally a flip of the finger – the left index finger to be precise. Set on the forward side of the left handlebar switch, the headlight control lever easily toggles between low beam, high beam, and flashing the high beam.
- The V-STROM 800 has lightweight and low-draw LED turn signals that are brighter than the signals used on the prior generation V-Strom models.
