For 2026 Suzuki announces the DR-Z4S+ that is equipped with Genuine Suzuki Accessories that include as standard equipment a rugged Skid Plate, Handguards (knuckle guards), plus front and rear Brake Rotor Guards.

New piston design helps achieve smoother engine operation while new radiator with larger fan diameter improves cooling.

Fully revised 398cc single-cylinder four-valve DOHC engine delivers a smooth, controllable spread of torque from low RPM up through peak power. New higher-lift camshafts with reduced overlap press upon new titanium intake valves.

Now equipped with Electronic Fuel Injection, the DR-Z4S’ engine is fed through an electronically controlled (Ride-by-Wire) throttle body with a 42 mm bore and a 10-hole injector that significantly improves engine response, idle speed control and peak power output.

Minimalistic and sleek, styling visually confirms that the DR-Z4S is an extremely capable off-road motorcycle. Riders can choose the iconic Champion Yellow No. 2 / Solid Special White No. 2 bodywork or the stealth-like Solid Iron Gray plastics that blend well with the many blacked-out chassis components.

New Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) suite includes the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), four-mode Suzuki Traction Control System* (STCS) that includes a G (Gravel) mode for unpaved surfaces, the ABS** (Antilock Brake System) with switchable ABS Rear OFF and ABS Front & Rear OFF modes, and the Suzuki Easy Start system that automatically starts the engine with a momentary press of a button.

New long-travel, adjustable KYB inverted front fork and fully adjustable KYB rear suspension are easy to tune for the conditions while new, deep-block IRC dual purpose tires (21 in. front and 18 in. rear) provide optimum traction both on and off paved roads.

New LCD instrument panel features a straightforward, legible display that supplies critical real-time operating information and allows easy adjustments to S.I.R.S setting changes. Popular features like twin trip meters are joined by a new fuel level indicator.

New air cleaner box and inlet tube designed to improve intake air flow and generate sharp throttle response with powerful low-speed torque. The left side body cover has a quick-release fastener, and swings open like a door, retaining the popular, easy access to the air filter element.

New tapered aluminum handlebars with half-waffle grips, wide rider pegs with removable, vibration-damping rubber inserts, and a new seat with shape and foam optimized for comfort. The new compact, light-weight fuel tank retains the 2.3 US gal. (8.7 L) capacity.

All of the DR-Z4S’ lighting is low-draw LED type, including the new bifunction LED headlight that incorporates both the high- and low-beam functions into one, bright projector module.

New slim exhaust system has large-diameter, stainless steel head- and mid-pipes, plus a double wall silencer design to reduce heat transfer to the rider or passenger.
