Suzuki Malaysia officially launched the 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE middleweight adventure bike for the Malaysian market held at Soul’ed Out, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. 

The V-Strom 800DE joins the likes of BMW F 850 GS and KTM 890 Adventure in Malaysia with the introductory price of RM60,800 for the first 50 bookings. 

As usual, one of the first thing that we tend to change on a new bike is getting a new exhaust system. If you’re planning to get your hands on the new parallel-twin powered V-Strom 800DE, you are in luck as Akrapovic has just released a new slip-on for the adventure motorcycle. 

Ideally, Akrapovic new slip-on not only creates better exhaust note but also improves extra performance from the engine. According to Akrapovic, the new slip-on exhaust completely homologated to ECE and meets the latest Euro 5 standards. 

Also, the slip-on exhaust increased the power delivery up to one horsepower and one newton-meter of torque.

The slip-on exhaust is made entirely from titanium and carbon fiber, like majority of the brand’s exhaust system. The system is also easy to install thanks to its slip-on nature. 

As for pricing, the new slip-on system is said to be around the USD1,000 (RM4.6k) mark. Perhaps it’s best for you to start saving now!
