Review
Suzuki has finally delivered the long-awaited update with the DR-Z4S. Completely redesigned for the 2026 model year, this model retains its 398cc single-cylinder engine but now features electronic fuel injection (EFI) and Ride-by-Wire technology. This ensures compliance with Euro 5+ emission standards while providing smoother power delivery and improved fuel economy. The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) brings the bike into the modern era with three drive modes (SDMS) and a traction control system that includes a dedicated Gravel (G) mode. On the chassis side, a new steel twin-spar frame and aluminum subframe stand out. Fully adjustable KYB suspension components offer 280 mm of travel at the front and 296 mm at the rear, providing superior damping even in the most challenging off-road conditions. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel combination, paired with IRC GP-410 tires, emphasizes its true dual-sport character. Furthermore, the ABS system can be fully deactivated for both wheels, giving the rider total control during off-road excursions. Equipped with a full LED lighting package and a compact LCD instrument panel, the DR-Z4S perfectly blends legendary durability with modern technology.
