SR75 World Team Suzuki has applied its off-road racing expertise to the V-Strom 800DE to create a new Rally Edition, which it plans to race later this season.
Building on a platform already designed to be the most off-road focused V-Strom ever, the SR75 Rally Edition is equipped with a robust sump guard and AS3 handlebar risers, with a set of RM-Z450 handlebars.
Giving the 776cc parallel twin more bark is a modified FMF titanium exhaust system, while the standard wheels have been swapped for a 21in/18in wheel set from ENVY shod with Dunlop D209RR tyres fitted with mousses.
SR75 Suzuki team owner Geoff Walker commented: “This is really stage one of the build and we will make some more modifications before we go racing, but we think we’ve taken what was already a solid base package for an adventure bike and turned it into a bike that can hold its own in a competitive rally.”
