2026 Suzuki DR-Z4SM

2026 Suzuki DR-Z4SMBuilding on Suzuki's industry leading SuperMoto, the all-new 2026 DR-Z4SM is here. This motorcycle redefines SuperMoto performance, built for riders who crave agility and excitement on the street and track.An all-new twin-spar steel frame and aluminum subframe provide a lightweight, high-performance chassis. The redesigned 398cc engine, featuring electronic fuel injection and 42mm Ride-by-Wire throttle body delivers smooth, responsive power.Features may include:EngineThe DR-Z4SM is powered by a thoroughly updated 398cc single-cylinder four-valve DOHC engine that delivers a smooth, controllable spread of torque from low RPM up through peak power. The redesigned cylinder head has optimized shapes for the intake port, intake valve boundary, and a smooth, flat combustion chamber that produces better combustion to provide consistent power under low loads with strong power output under heavier loads. The DOHC cylinder head contains a pair of lightweight titanium intake valves and a pair of hollow, sodium filled exhaust valves that help maximize combustion efficiency and performance.TransmissionThe revised, compact, five-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with a separate outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance.The transmission’s output is managed by the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS). This system works like a slipper clutch by allowing a small amount of clutch slip under deceleration for smoother downshifts. The SCAS also works as an assist clutch, increasing plate pressure under acceleration, but always keeps the clutch lever’s pull light and precise. This large-diameter, wet, multi-plate clutch uses a precise cable-activated release, providing the rider with a light pull and a superb friction-point feel.ChassisSupplied by KYB, the new long stroke, inverted cartridge-style fork has adjustable compression and rebound damping force with 10.2 in. (260 mm) of travel for smooth performance on all types of on road and on track surfaces. The new frame and fork also update the fork rake and trail specifications for a balance of nimble handling and straight-line performance. The new, rear KYB shock absorber has 10.9 in. (277 mm) of rear wheel travel with spring preload plus both compression and rebound damping force adjustments, and connects to a new, lightweight aluminum swingarm through a progressive linkage system.The aluminum under cover is standard equipment that helps protect the bottom of the engine. Suzuki Genuine Accessories offers a larger, thick aluminum skid plate that offers additional protection for the bottom of the engine and frame.ElectricalDelivering a sense of control and comfort, Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) provides the DR-Z4SM rider with a choice of three different engine power output characteristics (modes). Working in concert with the Traction Control System*, SDMS permits peak power in each mode while changing the nature of the power delivery.All of the DR-Z4SM’s lighting is new, low-draw LED type, including the turn signals (white lenses with amber illumination), the taillight, and license plate illumination light. The new bifunction LED headlight is a unique design that incorporates both the high- and low-beam functions into one, bright projector module
