Suzuki V-STROM 800DE: La "DE" a secas (y bien protegida)

From €12,800 to €10,250 with the crash bar and aluminum skid plate kit. Forget the labels. This is the V-Strom that really wants to get muddy. With its 800cc engine and a chassis designed for off-road, this unit comes with the standard armor that every adventure biker needs. What makes it the boss of the trails? 800cc engine with attitude: A parallel-twin that pushes from very low with 83-84 HP. It has that "pure" character that allows you to get out of any tight spot. Standard armor: Forget cheap accessories. This one comes with the crash bar kit to save the fairings and a real aluminum skid plate, so rocks don't ruin your day. 21" front wheel and long-travel suspension: With 220 mm of travel front and rear, it swallows bumps as if they were smooth asphalt. Gravel Mode (G): The electronics aren't just for the asphalt. Gravel mode lets you slide just enough so you're in charge on the dirt. Bi-directional Quickshifter: So you can forget the clutch both on the road and standing on the footpegs. The verdict: It's the bike for those who don't want the inertia of a 1000 but seek the capability of a rally bike. With this kit, it's ready to go around the world... or at least so it doesn't hurt if it goes down on a rocky trail.
