Suzuki Unveils the 2025 DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM Models

Suzuki has officially unveiled the 2025 DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM on international markets. Both motorcycles have been totally redesigned for the 2025 model year, with a new engine and updated underpinnings.
 

Moreover, these two motorcycles would be equipped with a new 398cc, single-cylinder engine that has a Euro 5+ norm. The unit is able to churn out 38bhp, and its peak torque is rated at 37Nm. The new engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. Furthermore, the Suzuki DR-Z4S will compete with the similar KTM 390 Enduro R, while the DR-Z4SM will compete with the KTM 390 SMC R in overseas markets.
 

Key Differences Between the Suzuki DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM: Design, Suspension, and Features Explained

These two bikes not only fall into different categories but also differ at many levels, like the size of wheels and suspension travel, along with features. Both have the same engine within a newly designed twin-spar frame that has been complemented by an aluminium subframe. KYB upside-down forks are fitted on the front side of both models, providing adjustability for rebound and compression. At the rear, both the bikes have an adjustable monoshock.
 

The Suzuki DR-Z4S is equipped with 21/18-inch wire-spoke wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres. Remaining true to its enduro body, it boasts a plush suspension travel of 280mm at the front and 296mm at the rear, giving it a relatively tall seat height of 920mm. Electronics-wise, it employs a ride-by-wire throttle with three selectable engine maps, adjustable traction control, and dual-channel ABS, which can be turned off on both wheels.
 

Meanwhile, the Suzuki DR-Z4SM is a supermoto, having 17-inch wire-spoke wheels with grippier, road-biased tires. Typical for a supermoto, it has shorter suspension travel: 260mm at the front and 277mm at the rear. The SM model has a lower seat height of 890mm compared to the DR-Z4S, making it more accessible to the rider. While it shares the same electronics as the DR-Z4S, the DR-Z4SM allows the ABS to be deactivated only at the rear wheel.
 

These Suzuki DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM motorcycles are exclusively designed for international markets. Bikes in the dual-sport and supermoto categories have a huge market and even a Suzuki fanbase. However, Suzuki's possibility of bringing these models to India is almost negligible.
