V-Strom 800DE
Suzuki's V-Strom 800DE features a 776cc parallel-twin with 270-degree crank character and gravel traction control in the mid-ADV class — switchable rear ABS and a bi-directional quickshifter are standard at $10,299. The 17-inch rear wheel limits off-road tire selection compared to 18-inch rivals; buyers prioritizing serious dirt capability should note this before comparing against the Ténéré 700 or Tiger 900 Rally.
