Suzuki has added a new ADV to its Columbia lineup. It is called the V-Strom 160 and is based on Suzuki's Chinese partner, Haojue's DL160 adventure motorcycle. Aesthetically, the new V-Strom 160 looks ready for an adventure. It features chunky block-pattern tyres, a high-set front guard, and a long travel suspension. But if you look closely, you'll realise this motorcycle is more road-biased.

V-Strom 160 Powered By A 160cc SOHC Engine
It rides on telescopic forks at the front with a monoshock setup at the rear. Both wheels are 17 inches, with a modest 160 mm of ground clearance. It has 795 mm of seat height and a 13-litre fuel tank. Features include a round digital console. More than a serious off-road focused machine, the V-Strom 160 appears as a decent highway cruiser, as is obvious from its high-set handlebar and generous seat.
The V-Strom 160 is powered by a 160cc, single-cylinder air-cooled engine that generates 14.75 hp and 14 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a five-speed gearbox.

India Gets The V-Strom 800 DE And V-Strom SX
The Suzuki V-Strom 160 is unlikely to make its way to India. We instead get the V-Strom 800DE and the V-Strom SX. The former is powered by a 2-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine that generates 83 hp, while the latter uses a 249cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine that produces 26.1 hp. The V-Strom 800DE retails in India at Rs 10.30 lakh (ex-showroom), while the V-Strom SX costs Rs 2.11 lakh (ex-showroom).
