Cruise Control: Veridian Cruise Kit for Suzuki V-Strom 800

The Suzuki V-Strom 800 Cruise Kit by Veridian brings effortless highway cruising to your adventure bike with a fully electronic cruise control system. Designed for 2023-onward V-Strom 800 models, including SE, DE, and DE Adventure variants, this kit offers a seamless riding experience similar to factory-installed automotive cruise control. With just a few plug-in connections and a single wire tap, installation is straightforward, requiring minimal modifications to your bike.

At the heart of this system is a durable, weatherproof triple-button switch that mounts directly to standard 22mm handlebars using a fully opening bracket. The intuitive control interface allows riders to easily set and adjust speed with dedicated buttons for Resume/Increase, Cancel, and Set/Decrease functions. Designed for all-weather performance, the switch ensures smooth operation in any riding conditions.

Safety is a top priority, and this cruise control system is engineered with multiple automatic disengagement triggers to maintain control in dynamic riding situations. The module deactivates cruise mode instantly if engine RPM exceeds 8000, either brake is engaged, throttle input exceeds the cruise setting by 5%, or a critical CANBUS data packet is missing for more than one second. These redundancies ensure that the rider retains full command over the bike at all times.

Fine-tuning is simple with a weatherproof USB-C connection, allowing riders to adjust parameters such as speed increment size, throttle response, and PID gain for customized performance. The system integrates with the bike’s diagnostic port but maintains a bypass mode when disconnected, ensuring continued functionality without interfering with onboard diagnostics.

Installation is efficient and requires only basic tools, typically taking one to two hours. Accessing the fuel tank area is necessary, and a T-harness simplifies integration by intercepting throttle signals while a single T-Tap connection to the brake wire completes the setup. With this kit, Suzuki V-Strom 800 owners can experience the convenience of electronic cruise control on long-distance rides without sacrificing safety or ease of use. Proudly designed and manufactured in Canada, this system delivers factory-level functionality at an affordable price.

MSRP: $340
