We honestly expected it and it has now been confirmed by CARB documents. There will be a more street-oriented version of the V-Strom 800DE launched this year, which will simply be known as the V-Strom 800.
The V-Strom 800DE will have a little brother next year, the V-Strom 800
You could have seen it coming. While Suzuki had launched the completely renewed V-Strom 1050 this year in two different versions – V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE, only one version of the completely new V-Strom 800 was released: the Avont
Looking forward to a ‘street version’ of this thing already!hourly V-Strom 800DE, which with its spoke wheels, the front wheel of which is in 21″ format, can continue where the asphalt stops.
That left room for a model with more emphasis on the street and that is exactly what Suzuki has in store for us for the coming model year, according to the documents from the CARB in California, where a V-Strom 800 (DL800RQM4 ) has been added to the list.
The difference in technical specifications shows that the 2024 V-Strom 800 is indeed purely for the state. The 21″ front wheel has made way for a 19″ model with 110/80 R 19″ front tire. It is also almost 90 mm longer and almost 70 mm narrower, differences comparable to those between the V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE.
According to the data, the V-Strom 800 is 45mm higher than the 800DE, suggesting a taller windshield. Furthermore, the wheelbase is 56 mm shorter and a curb weight of 223 kilos is stated, 8 kilos less than the V-Strom 800DE puts on the scales.
The V-Strom 1050DE versus the V-Strom 1050. With the 800 the differences will be almost the same
