The standard rear suspension settings on the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE are more designed for road use than real off-road trail riding. The rear shock can feel a little too soft, without enough damping once the suspension starts working hard. The Teknik V-Strom 800DE Shock Kit is designed to address these shortcomings, giving more compression and rebound control throughout the whole stroke for improved suspension responsiveness and more consistent performance across diverse riding conditions.

Why Choose the Teknik V-Strom 800DE Shock Kit?

Recognising the need for a practical solution, our team has dedicated countless hours to developing a comprehensive and cost-effective upgrade specifically for the V-Strom 800DE. The aim is simple: to significantly enhance the performance and resilience of the rear shock absorber, giving the rider better control and greater confidence when tackling rough and uneven terrain.

The revised damping specification is designed to provide more effective control as the shock works through its stroke, helping the rear suspension remain composed when riding over corrugations, bumps, ruts and other challenging off-road surfaces.

Upgrade Your Ride

The Teknik V-Strom 800DE Shock Kit transforms the performance of the standard rear shock, giving the suspension more control when the going gets rough. The additional compression and rebound damping helps the rear of the motorcycle stay more controlled through demanding terrain, improving rider confidence and allowing the V-Strom 800DE to better handle the transition from sealed roads to genuine off-road riding.

This is not a DIY kit and there is no need to modify any of the included parts. However, installation requires the shock absorber to be serviced and is not recommended if you have never worked on a shock absorber before. If you require more guidance than the supplied installation instructions provide, we recommend having the kit fitted by a qualified suspension specialist.
