Reviews of Suzuki V-Strom SX

Bought this machine on 21st June 2022. On-road price was around 276k (kerala). It took around 14 days to deliver the bike after booking. I had some other options in a similar price range. But when I took the test ride.. Oh, man. It rode straight to my heart.
It gives you a very relaxed and upright riding posture. Foot pegs are placed a little backward which is cool. Super wide seats and it is on a softer side (not too soft but it never lacks comfort) . Felt very light once it starts to roll. The engine is very much refined and gear shifts are precise. You don't feel any vibrations even at higher speeds. The power delivery is linear, unlike the ktms. But it doesn't mean that you will miss the fun factor. You can cruise at 120s effortlessly. The initial pick-up is impressive. For 0-100 it will take below 10 sec. It is easy to ride a bike in cities and highways. (i haven't checked the offloading capabilities.) suspension is neither too hard nor too soft. Potholes/cracked or humpy bumpy roads are peanuts for this. Very easy to maneuver. It gives enough confidence in cornering as well. All-day touring is just a piece of cake. Braking efficiency is pretty decent. The seat height may raise an issue for some as I am 5'10 and I don't get a well-planted foot.
I have done my first service @ 900 km and it cost me around 1200 rs. I waited for around 5 hrs to get the job done and it was a wee bit irritating.
Coming the cons which I noticed are
1. Illumination could have been better
2. You will have to check the chain tightness after every 300 kms
3. Crash guards are not available
4. The wind visor is not adjustable and the wind blast hits right on your face at higher speeds.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was very good, when I had given a test drive for the first time I fell in love with this machine. Great bike compared to Himalayan. The engine is super smooth, ride comfort is next level, and you can go for the long touring overall bike is next level highly recommend it for others who are planning.

About the Reviewer

An ideal bike for everyday commutes.
In-city rides bumps in roads are always very common and can be easily manageable in this segment of bikes with its high suspension and as well as it's wider tires.
Has a good mileage approx of 41kmpl at average city traffic in Bangalore with mild throttling.
In highway cruising it's awesome in its miles when you ride smoothly will give upto 47 at 80-90kmph
Overall it's good to go vehicle
Also, it has a satisfying road presence.

About the Reviewer

I took the bike for a spin from gurgoan to sainj valley in himachal. With stuffed shad 33 topbox, pillion of 66kgs and myself of 84kgs. 1400kms plus in 3 days. The bike is very comfortable for both. Road presence is amazing. Fuel economy is superb, it gave me 40kmpl for total trip, even though I was riding it above 110 and going slow while climbing. Engine is super smooth. No where the belly touched the ground. Front suspension bottoms out rarely, but it does, in out case it did 2 times when we encountered mountain like speedbreaker. Personaly I feel navigation aid(tbt) is not much of a use as one will mount phone with charging cable plugged . Headlight is good and beam is powerful. Follow the right tyre pressure chart and comfort level increases. This bike doesn't stall at all whatsoever. Did 1st service from delhi before the 1400kms ride, service is average. Position of instrument cluster is very good and visibility is good as well. Foot peg position for both rider and pillion could be better. Exhaust could be more raised. Plastic quality and fitting is acceptable. Clutch is bit heavier, accelerator gets harder after 80kmph. Tried both the seats i.E stock one and lower seat. Lower seat is not as comfortable as stock one as it lacks cushioning. Small chain guard could be installed.
Overall a very good product, reliable and easy to ride. Amazing fuel economy. Amazing road presence. Good comfort. Good headlamp. Very linear acceleration.

About the Reviewer

1. Suzuki doesn't promote this bike the way it should be.
2. No vibration at all. In highway 90-110 you can cruise with ease. No vibration was felt at my feet or hand during my Kolkata Sikkim Bhutan circuit. Am 5ft 11 and am comfortable with the seating posture.
Pros
1. Can take to Leh, Sikkim with no problem. Ground clearance is very good. No issues with off-road.
2. No vibration. Comes with a charging port and the instrument cluster is average. Comfortable seats and sitting posture are very good for long rides.
3. Lights are very good. Still suggest adding extra lights for long rides at night.
4. Have the rack space for the top box.
5. Mileage is 35-40 depending upon how you throttle, and terrain.
6. Cooling system is absolutely spot on. No heat at all coming from the engine in your long rides.
7. Servicing cost is cheap and parts are generally available.
Cons
1. Horn is very bad
2. Side Stand footing is small. Buy an extender.
3. Higher turning radius.
4. No RSA provided by Suzuki.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience okay.
Engine is good and very soft tuned, riding is not a problem for taller guys (>5.9")
Looks very big and height, can be used for daily commuting as well as touring, for adventure like things this is not best bike since suspension is not upto the mark
Pros : good engine, easy to handle in traffic, good torque, riding on this 250 machine is joy, riding angle also good.
Cons : bit costly, suspension and brakes could have been better.

About the Reviewer

I bought the bike immediately after it gets launched. The buying experience was amazing the S. P. Suzuki Kandivali dealership had a superb salesman.
Riding this bike in the city or highway is amazing its light, fast, stable, and wonderful seat.
The yellow colour is vibrant and different and its stands out in the crowd. The bike looks awesome.
This bike is good for all kinds of roads. On highways 100 / 120 km/hr is smooth. You can ride for hours on this bike without any problems.
The service experience is not that good for me had some paint-related issues but all got resolved by Suzuki.
Pros
Lightweight
Great seats
Good breaks
Handling is good
Good mileage
Good pickup
No vibration
Refined engine
Stable at top speeds
Cons
The front suspension travel is just 120 mm which is less I think and it's stiff.
The silencer design could be better.
