Suzuki has been quite consistently updating its local motorcycle lineup over the past few years. Its latest models, however, might be some of the most exciting ones we’ve seen in a while.
At the 2025 Makina Moto Expo, Suzuki unveiled its two newest models set to hit the market sometime this year: the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM. These next-generation DR series twins are derived from the DR-Z400S and were just launched at EICMA in November last year.
The DR-Z4S is the more off-road-oriented bike, while the DR-Z4SM focuses more on street performance. While Suzuki has yet to unveil local specs, we know from the global reveal that the bikes feature a 398cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke DOHC engine.
