Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Rally Edition Globally Breaks 

The Rally Edition of the V-Strom middleweight adventure motorcycle was introduced by the manufacturer in the French market. It has the same 776cc parallel-twin unit as the standard V-Strom 800DE. A few new parts, such as blacked-out tubular crash shields around the front side fairing, a slightly bigger aluminium belly pan, and a sump guard to protect the engine casing, differentiate the Rally Edition from the base model in terms of aesthetics. The bike rides on Bridgestone AX41 off-road tyres, which are said to be better for gravel and mud riding than Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour wheels.
