On the EIMCA present in Milan, Suzuki unveiled one of the buzz-worthy new fashions of 2023, the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE and its Journey variant. These new middleweight Stroms might be powered by an all-new 776cc DOHC parallel twin, and so they to be strongest performers each on the highway and within the grime:
“Filling the hole between the venerable V-Strom 650 and V-Strom 1050 fashions, the V-Strom 800DE is aimed toward riders who desire a middleweight journey bike that’s absolutely succesful each on-road and off-road. It has a 21-inch entrance wheel, spoked rims entrance and rear, and the longest suspension journey and most floor clearance of any V-Strom mannequin.” –Rider
The V-Strom 800DE harks again clearly to Suzuki’s Paris Dakar Rally bikes of previous, the legendary “Bikes of Thunder” just like the DR Massive and the DR Zeta.
If there’s one man on the earth who is aware of essentially the most about Suzuki rally bikes, each historic and fashionable, it’s Stefan Hessler of Hessler Rallye Staff. Hessler, an engineer, raced his first worldwide rally raid in 1995 and by no means stopped.

In 2017, Suzuki themselves tasked Hessler with constructing a better efficiency V-Strom, and V-Strom engineers truly visited the HRT workshop to be taught extra about how Hessler builds his rally / journey specials:
“We already had shut ties with Suzuki and proposed to Japan that they construct a extra off-road succesful V-Strom. We received the order from Suzuki to construct our V-Strom 1000 DESERT EXPRESS prototype.”
Quick ahead to 2023, and Hessler’s group has leveled their experience on the V-Strom 800DE. In accordance with Suzuki, the “DE” stands for “Twin Explorer,” however it’s lengthy meant one thing else to HRT: “Desert Categorical.”
