Suzuki Refreshes Five V-Strom Models for 2026, Adds Cruise Control and Quickshifter to the 800 and 1050

With five models split across price ranges, it sounds like a lineup that's easy to pick from based on budget.

For the differences between the 800, 800DE, and 800DE Adventure, I'd guess suspension travel and wheel size are the key splits.

With the V-Strom 800DE Adventure rounding out the lineup, it looks set for a serious off-road showdown with the Ténéré 700 and DesertX.

Refreshing five models all at once is so much information that it might actually make the differences between them harder to grasp.

Covering everything from serious ADV to entry-level with the V-Strom 800 and 1050 series — Suzuki's strategy is crystal clear.

Refreshing five models at once with cruise control, a bi-directional quickshifter, lean-angle ABS, and a 5-inch TFT — that's a serious across-the-board equipment upgrade.
