Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025 vs. KTM 690 Enduro R 2024

Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025

The eye-catching graphics from Suzuki Austria suit this bike well. For me, however, the joy of life doesn’t come from the graphics, but from the ride itself. The DR-Z4SM succeeds in combining a familiar, solid feel with genuine playfulness. On the one hand, it offers a predictable riding experience; on the other, it has enough supermoto character to ensure the fun doesn’t stop straight away, even as your experience grows. Those looking primarily for maximum power will continue to look towards more powerful machines. I’d take this Suzuki for a test ride because of its seamless interplay of features: precise handling, smooth gear changes and an engine that remains easy to read whether you’re opening or closing the throttle. My brief test doesn’t provide a long-term assessment, but it does offer a clear personal verdict. I felt comfortable in the saddle and would have liked to have carried on riding.
