Suzuki does not officially participate in off-road racing, but that hasn\u2019t stopped two riders from entering the 2025 Africa Eco Race with the V-Storm 800DE.<\/p>\n
Mirco Bettini (Azzurrorosa) and Vincent Biau (Petokask) will compete in the category for motorcycles with multi-cylinder engines and displacements between 650cc and 1,000cc.<\/p>\n
The latest version of the V-Storm 800DE features a parallel-twin engine with a 776cc displacement. Designed for off-road terrain, it comes equipped with an inverted telescopic fork and adjustable monoshock suspension.<\/p>\n
Braking is handled by dual front discs and a single rear disc, while the spoked wheels measure 21 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear.<\/p>\n
The bike has a 1,570mm wheelbase, a seat height of 855mm, and a weight of 230kg. Its fuel tank has a 20-liter capacity. Naturally, a few adaptations have been made, such as the addition of a roadbook mounted above the original digital instrument panel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
