Engine Performance

The 249cm3 4-stroke 1-cylinder 4-valve oil-cooled SOHC engine featured in the V-STROM 250SX feels strong and linear, offering excellent torque at low rpm and a smooth run up, making it easy to use for beginners and veteran riders alike, as well as suiting it to a wide variety of situations, from riding in town to high-speed cruising. The Suzuki Oil Cooling System (SOCS) warms the engine up quickly and keeps it at the optimum temperature exceptionally well for ideal temperature management. It also contributes to the engine's overall light weight and the V-STROM 250SX's brisk, nimble feel.

Chassis Design

The design concept behind the V-Strom 250SX was “Toughness In a Slender Shell”.

Toughness comes from it’s rugged, adventure-inspired looks, confidence-inspiring chassis. The slender shell refers to a slim exterior shape owing to the compact engine design that appears to be wrapped in a “protector-like” shell. Its nimble handling and light weight make it simple to maneuver through the city. Its sporty performance brings excitement and thrills across twisty roads making it a lightweight versatile crossover.

The side panels under the rider’s seat are kept as compact and slim as possible thanks to the engine’s compact layout to allow an easy reach to the ground, but also a solid feel of the bike while riding. They also keep a slim profile to the machine, so that it feels stable and easy to handle at slow speeds, which is advantageous when riding in the city and parking. The ideal 835 mm seat height and well-balanced proportions offer a spacious and comfortable riding position with a high and clear view of the road, ideal both for visibility in the city and comfort on long journeys, and the combination of the seat shape and side panels offer an easy reach to the ground.
