Last year, Suzuki Philippines previewed two all-new models at Makina 2025. Now, the same models have been officially launched in the market—ladies and gents, say hello to the all-new DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM.
The DR-Z4S is Suzuki’s newest off-road-ready enduro bike, while the DR-Z4SM is its street-oriented twin. Both come powered by a 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that comes mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. While the two share similar looks, the differences are in the details.
The DR-Z4S gets 21-inch front and 17-inch rear aluminum spoke wheels. The Suzuki DR-Z4S also gets dual-channel ABS that can be either switched off simultaneously or turned off at the back. The DR-Z4SM gets the same ABS setup, but the bike sits on 17-inch wheels shod in road tires.

The two bikes also differ in dimensions. The DR-Z4S has 300mm of ground clearance and a 920mm (36.2 inches) seat height, while the DR-Z4SM has only 260mm of ground clearance and an 890mm-high seat (35 inches). The DR-Z4SM is also lighter at 151kg, while its twin weighs in at 154kg.
Both bikes come equipped with the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (or slipper/assist clutch) and the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.). There’s Suzuki Traction Control System and Suzuki Drive Mode Selector available. Three modes are available, ranginge from the more aggressive Mode A and the more laid-back Mode C. Both bikes also get ride-by-wire.
