Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025

Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025

The Suzuki DR-Z4S is an all-round successful comeback - not a shallow retro rehash, but a consistently modernised further development of a popular and proven concept. It remains true to its line: robust, easy to use, versatile and yet capable of many things. It is a bike for a small niche of riders, between hard enduro riders and adventure bike riders. For this niche, however, it fills an important gap as a true dual sport bike and hardly allows itself any weaknesses. The most critical points are the remaining 5-speed transmission and the high price. Whether these points discourage a purchase or whether the DR-Z4S is still worthwhile as a legend and versatile vehicle remains a matter of taste.

Great, smooth yet powerful engine that makes off-road riding easy

Beautifully responsive KYB suspension with a wide adjustment range

Good-natured yet agile handling

Excellent gravel mode of the traction control

Intuitive operation of the electronics

Active ergonomics

Good country road and long-distance qualities

Nicely controllable brakes

Fills a gap in the motorbike segment

Long gear ratio as limit for tough off-road use

Fork preload not adjustable

Handlebars a little low for tall riders around 1.90 metres

Standard tyres as a limit on loose off-road terrain

High price for an A2 bike

KTM 690 Enduro R 2024

KTM 690 Enduro R 2024

The KTM 690 Enduro R is the perfect bike for riders who find a touring enduro too heavy, but a hard enduro too uncomfortable and maintenance-intensive. The new electronic features make the bike very accessible even to inexperienced riders. The smooth-running, cultivated engine, together with the perfectly tuned gearbox and overall gratifyingly low vibration level, also makes long tours possible without any problems.
