Duality
Auto Today|November 2018

Pack a torquey mid-capacity engine into a capable chassis and suspension setup and that’s a recipe for an ADV that’s as adept on tarmac as much as it is off it. The new Suzuki V-Strom displays this duality in equal measures.

Duality

The motorcycling world is abuzz with the term ADV. It means adventure, specifically referring to the genre of motorcycles classifying as one. More than the mechanical categorisation, it’s the ability of these motorcycles to traverse kilometres on end on tarmac and continue forward, even when the black stuff ends. An ADV is the answer to the need for being limitless, to go anywhere one fancies, head on quest to find uncharted territories and Suzuki has just come out with what may very well be the perfect key to your next adventure.
