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.
