Suzuki DR-Z4 S/SM: Dual Sport e Supermotard
With Marco Quaglino, Sales Manager of Suzuki Italia, we find out what they look like and when they will arrive in dealerships
Suzuki makes its grand return to the dual-sport sector with two new models that evoke the glory of the past: the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM. These motorbikes represent the modern evolution of a 20-year legacy, adapted to the contemporary needs of the European market.
At the heart of both versions beats a single-cylinder engine with 38 hp at 8000 rpm and 37 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. The engine, equipped with electronic fuel injection and twin spark plugs, meets Euro 5+ regulations, combining performance and environmental efficiency. An innovative feature for Suzuki is the ability to disable the ABS on both wheels for the S version and on the rear for the SM.
The DR-Z4S is distinguished by its off-road vocation, with 21‘ and 18’ wheels and a ground clearance of 30 cm. With only 151 kg in running order, it promises agility both on and off-road. The DR-Z4SM, on the other hand, favours road use.
