The 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT gets a new colour
option in the US market. The middleweight adventure tourer is available in a
new Glass Sparkle Black colour at a Base MSRP of USD 9,299. The motorcycle also
features gold rims that add a nice contrast to the visuals. The new option may
also debut in the Indian market in the future. The India-bound 2020 model will
arrive with BS-VI emission norm compliance.
The changes are limited to the updated paint. The
engine specifications continue to include a 645 cc 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC
90˚, V-twin motor with a fuel injection system that employs a six-speed
constant-mesh gearbox. Hardware specifications, too, remain unaltered. Thus,
braking department comprises twin discs at the front with two-piston Tokico
callipers, while the rear uses a single disc with a Nissin-sourced
single-piston calliper.
Shock absorption task is performed by conventional
telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock suspension at the back. The
adventure tourer rides on tubeless tyre compatible wire-spoke wheels that come
wrapped in 110/80R19 front and 150/70R17 rear rubber.
