THE ALL-NEW 2025 DR-Z4S AND DR-Z4SM
Get ready to experience the next generation of Suzuki DualSport and SuperMoto motorcycles with the all-new 2025 Suzuki DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM. Building on the exceptional success and legacy of Suzuki’s renowned DR-Z series, the all-new DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM are engineered to deliver a perfect blend of performance, versatility, and modern technology.
Introduced in 2000, Suzuki’s DR-Z400S earned acclaim for delivering precise, nimble handling, easy maneuverability, and ultra-reliable performance. Highly capable and fun to ride, it won the hearts of riders who desired a street legal motorcycle that performed exceptionally well off-road, too. With the addition of the DR-Z400SM in 2005, Suzuki expanded the range to include a SuperMoto version that gave riders even more choice. For 2025, Suzuki is thrilled to introduce two new models that proudly tap into the DR-Z legacy.
The Suzuki DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM feature an all-new steel twin-spar frame combined with an advanced aluminum subframe, and a lightweight aluminum swingarm for improved handling performance. They also feature a completely updated 398cc single-cylinder engine, now equipped with electronic fuel injection and the latest Suzuki Ride-By-Wire throttle body for smooth and precise power delivery.
Both new models feature the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), which provide advanced riding features like the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), a multi-mode Traction Control System with a dedicated Gravel (G) mode, for even more off-road fun. Also included on both machines is an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)** with selectable full or rear-only ABS-off modes, depending on the model.
Adding to the refined handling delivered by the all-new frame and aluminum sub-frame, are new KYB fully adjustable suspension components front and rear, and new performance-driven, model specific tires for solid riding confidence. Wrap it all up in modern motocross-styled bodywork, sleek LED lighting, and fresh new colors and the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM are ready to conquer the trail or street like never before.
