Suzuki Unveils V-Strom 160 in Columbia

Suzuki has launched the V-Strom 160 in Columbia. It will be manufactured in Brazil. The bike is similar to the Haojue DL160 from Suzuki's Chinese partner.
 

Road-Focused Design with Adventure Elements

The V-Strom 160 is mostly designed for adventure purposes. It features dual-purpose tyres with a block pattern. The bike uses 17-inch alloy wheels, telescopic forks, and a monoshock. The 160mm ground clearance and limited suspension travel make it more suitable for highways than off-roading. The tall handlebar and the spacious, comfortable seat suggest that this bike is designed for longer distances, not just daily city commutes.

The bike is powered by a 160cc, air-cooled SOHC engine, producing 14.75bhp and 14Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox and is a different engine from the one used in India’s Gixxer series. The crankcase and cylinder head designs are different on both engines. Additionally, the bike features a circular digital instrument cluster. It also has a USB C-type charger and all-LED lighting. 

Features Highlights: 

• 795mm seat height
• 13-litre fuel tank
• Round Digital Console
• Kerb weight of 148kg
• Round digital console

No Launch Expected in India

The Suzuki V-Strom 160 may not launch in India. There is little demand for 150-160cc adventure-style motorcycles. Additionally, the Gixxer and Gixxer SF have seen low sales for some time.
