View of the V-Strom 800

Unlike the previous V-Strom models and unlike the name suggests, the V-Strom 800 has a two-cylinder in-line engine with four valves per cylinder, two overhead camshafts and two balance shafts (cross balancer). The bore is 84 millimeters and the stroke 70 millimeters. The crank pins are offset by 270 degrees. The engine is water-cooled and has an electronic throttle control ("ride by wire"). The V-Strom 800 has a 6-speed gearbox with a so-called "quickshifter", which allows gear changes without manual clutch operation.^[2] The drive is electronically supported with a four-stage slip control (on the 800 DE with mode for gravel [G, Gravel] for limited slip),^[4] automatic start and speed increase when starting (Low RPM Assist).^[2][3] There are three driving modes.^[5] Consumption in the WMTC cycle is 4.4 L/100 km. The tank holds 20 liters.^[3]
