What Might Disappoint Riders About The Suzuki V-Strom 800DE?
Let's talk about something not so great about this ADVthe tyres. The front tyre is a tough 90/90-21M/C 54H cross-ply with a tube, the rear one is a 150/70R17M/C 69H radial with a tube. It's worth noting that these tyres are reliable, however, tubeless tyres are good in shock absorption, traction enhancement, reducing rolling resistance, and coping with slow air leakage in case of punctures. But, these tyres miss out on these convenience factors.
Verdict
This new ADV is a great pick for the riders, priced competitively against rivals with solid power and performance. It doesn't disappoint in terms of features either. Although there might be minor drawbacks, investing a bit more can easily address them, making it a compelling choice.
