| Expert Review | MotoAutiv Team | The Suzuki V-Strom SX is a well-balanced 250 cc adventure tourer that blends strong performance, refined engine smoothness, and comfortable ergonomics for daily rides and long tours. It handles well on highways and light trails, offering great stability and modern features. However, its stiff suspension and limited off-road ability make it more of a road-focused adventure bike than a true trail machine, 4.1, MotoAutiv Team |
