It also contributes to the engine's overall light weight and the V-STROM 250SX's brisk, nimble feel.

Chassis Design

The design concept behind the V-Strom 250SX was “Toughness In a Slender Shell”.

Toughness comes from it’s rugged, adventure-inspired looks, confidence-inspiring chassis. The slender shell refers to a slim exterior shape owing to the compact engine design that appears to be wrapped in a “protector-like” shell. Its nimble handling and light weight make it simple to maneuver through the city. Its sporty performance brings excitement and thrills across twisty roads making it a lightweight versatile crossover.
