Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
KTM 390 Enduro R 2025
The KTM 390 Enduro Bike R is exactly what many have been missing for a lengthy period of time: a true dual-sport machine that does not take refuge in extremes. It is neither an uncompromising hard enduro nor a stud-trimmed naked bike, but a versatile tool for everyday use, travelling and off-road. Easy to handle, agile enough for country roads, comfortable enough for longer distances and equipped with a suspension that also makes ambitious off-road riding possible. It does have minor weaknesses such as its noticeable weight, slight vibrations or a snappy rear brake - but these are relativised by the attractive price. Anyone who values versatility more than technical perfection in a single area will find the 390 Enduro R a well thought-out, modern and very balanced A2 bike.
