DNA Styling
In developing the styling for the new V-STROM 800DE, Suzuki’s design team set out to carry on the tradition of the V-STROM series. Their goal was to convey a thoroughly modern look in line with current trends, while breaking new ground that puts it ahead of the pack.
Staying true to its Dr. BIG heritage, the model’s characteristic feature is undoubtedly the latest evolution of the radical new “beak” front end that became a cult classic in the motorcycling world after its debut in 1988 on the DR- Z 800 desert racer.
In keeping with the goal of creating a new look that speaks of all-round capabilities, the new, sharper beak is positioned higher to create greater distance between it and the front wheel, thereby visually conveying the extended suspension stroke and the model’s ability to handle gravel roads and flat trails. The beak and other elements of the front end, including the new vertically stacked hexagonal LED headlight assembly, are designed to look slim, light and compact. This once again reflects the V-STROM 800DE’s ability to excel when exploring further off the beaten track.
