Suzuki will be at this year’s Adventure Bike Rider Festival - which takes place on 23-25 June - giving visitors the opportunity to experience the off-road capability of the brand new V-Strom 800DE and V-Strom 1050DE, as well as providing a fleet of additional machinery for test rides on the road.
Suzuki will bring its full adventure line-up to Ragley Hall on the 23-25 June with the new V-Strom 800DE, do-it-all V-Strom 650XT and the 2023 V-Strom 1050 and 1050DE. There will also be the chance to sample the new off-road electronics packages on the 800DE and 1050DE around the 20 km adventure trail, which includes a ‘gravel’ traction control mode and rear ABS that can be disengaged. Riders can also take these bikes and 2022’s best-selling sports tourer GSX-S1000GT out on the road.
Launched earlier this year the V-Strom 800DE is one of two models to feature the brand new 776cc parallel twin engine, with strong mid-range torque, 270-degree crank and dual cross balancer, plus gravel mode, Showa suspension and 220mm of ground clearance, 21” and 17” spoke wheels, making it the most off-road ready V-Strom yet.
Also on display will be the V-Strom 650, currently part of Suzuki’s Ready to Ride campaign, which sees several models available with lower than usual 4.9% APR, a two-year free service plan and £500 off when you test ride first.
The festival runs over three days from 23-25 June at Ragley Hall, Alcester B49 5NJ.
