In 1984 Suzuki amazed enthusiasts from all over the world with its single-cylinder Enduro DR 600 S which immediately set the benchmark for performance and style, a model which subsequently increased in displacement and became legend with the Djebel version dedicated to adventure, through a clear reference to the Paris-Dakar and to the mountains (in Arabic the word Djebel identifies the mountain ranges typical of Tunisia and specifically the second highest peak of the same country) of the African deserts where the exciting rallies of the 80s and 90s were held.
The legendary DR 650 R Djebel was equipped with an off-road setup and showed off a livery that has remained in history: the same attitude and the same graphics are now proposed in the new Suzuki V-STROM 800DE Djebel, presented by the Italian branch of the Hamamatsu company at Motor Bike Expo 2024 and now the protagonist of an emotional video (click here) which expresses its versatility and off-road aptitude beyond the heritage of a historical model.
The V-STROM 800DE Djebel inherits the propensity for exploration and the ability to have fun on any terrain.
Compared to the V-STROM 800DE version, the Djebel version is enriched with the Akrapovič exhaust terminal in titanium/carbon, while the tires are the Dunlop Trailmax Raid*, with an aggressive look and a more off-road destination than the Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour of the V -STROM 800DE, while the iconic graphics of the DR 650 R Djebel are made entirely in paint.
The new V-STROM 800DE Djebel is available until 06/30/2024 and can only be ordered through the Suzuki Web Store, at the list price of 13,900 Euro.
