Both bikes pack an all-new engine and come packed to the gills with features
Suzuki has pulled the wraps off two all-new motorcycles; the GSX-8S and the V-Strom 800DE. While the former is a streetfighter slotting below the GSX-S1000, the latter is a proper off-road-friendly ADV positioned above the popular V-Strom 650XT. Both the bikes get modern features such as a 5-inch TFT, three traction control modes, bi-directional quickshifter, ride-by-wire throttle and more! Here’s everything they pack:
GSX-8S
-
GSX-S1000-inspired vertically-stacked LED headlight.
-
Brand new 776cc parallel-twin mill making 82.9PS and 78Nm.
-
KYB-sourced inverted fork and monoshock.
-
Twin 310mm discs brakes up front and a 240mm unit at the rear.
-
Three colour schemes: Pearl Cosmic Blue, Pearl Tech White and a Matte and Sparkle Black

Suzuki says both the bikes will be available at European dealerships from around March 2023. We do hope Suzuki launches the bikes in India too. The V-Strom 800DE, especially, could act as the perfect rival to the ever-popular Triumph Tiger 900 and the BMW F 850 GS. The GSX-8S, on the other hand, would go up against the likes of the Triumph Street Triple R, and the Yamaha MT-07.
Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE User Reviews
Best adventure bike in this price range. It's underrated and somewhat cost less than Transalp. Weight of bike doesn't feel, thanks to its low centre of gravity. If you want a mile muncher with off road capabilities, then go for it! Suspensions are also adjustable with rebound and compression damping. It will be the best bike you will buy.Read More
The bike is much comfortable. It will give Best vibe for adventure bike. It's more worth to buy in india bcz of the Indian roads. I went to ladakh trip like 1200kms and it's so comfortable and also has good mileage. In this price range I think it will be more practical to buy this bike. In this segment the bike's maintenance cost is also not that much.Read More
