Suzuki has introduced the V-Strom 800RE Tour to its range, featuring 112 liters of aluminum luggage, offering a discount of £706.94. Customers have the option to select from silver or black three-piece luggage sets, which include a top box and side panniers. With a on-the-road (OTR) price set at £11,199, purchasers benefit from a savings of £706.94 compared to outfitting the standard V-Strom 800RE with these accessories separately.
The V-Strom 800RE Tour is available in three colors: blue, matt steel green, or black, enlarging Suzuki’s V-Strom 800 lineup to a total of four models. Each model is powered by Suzuki’s innovative 776cc parallel twin engine, featuring a 270-degree crankshaft for enhanced low-end torque and mid-range power.
Equipped with 19” front and 17” rear cast aluminum wheels and Nissin radial brake calipers, the 800RE models boast improved handling and braking performance. The bikes feature aluminum, rubber-coated foot pegs positioned 14mm back and 7mm higher than those on the V-Strom 800DE, alongside aluminum tapered handlebars that are 13mm lower and 23mm more forward, offering a narrower grip by 15mm. Unlike the DE model, the 800RE models focus on superior on-road handling with Showa suspension providing 150mm of travel at both ends.
Standard equipment on the 800RE includes a bi-directional quickshifter, three selectable engine power modes, and a trio of traction control settings, with the option to turn off traction control entirely. All critical information is displayed on a color TFT dashboard, situated behind a large screen designed to deflect wind.
