Suzuki DR-Z4S Overview

If the DR-Z4S is built to eat trails, the DR-Z4SM is its meaner, street-sharpened sibling — a supermoto that takes the same aggressive bones and translates them into something built for asphalt dominance. This is a machine for riders who want the light, flickable feel of a proper dual-sport but want to spend their time threading gaps in traffic and carving corners rather than picking lines through mud. Powering it is a 398cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke DOHC single-cylinder engine producing 38 horsepower and 37 Nm of torque, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. For a single-cylinder, the numbers are properly impressive — there's real punch here, and the torque hits in a way that makes the bike feel alive under you, whether you're launching off a stoplight or hauling through a sweeping bend.
What separates the DR-Z4SM from the crowd isn't just the engine — it's how comprehensively Suzuki has equipped it. The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) brings a full electronics suite to the table: a Drive Mode Selector with three distinct riding modes from the sharper Mode A to the mellower Mode C, a Traction Control System, and ride-by-wire throttle for precise, consistent response. A Clutch Assist System handles both slipper and assist clutch duties, keeping things smooth under aggressive downshifts. Dual-channel ABS with switchable functionality means you stay in control without being babysat. The SM sits lower and lighter than its DR-Z4S sibling at 151 kg and an 890 mm seat height, with 17-inch wheels on both ends wrapped in road-biased rubber — a setup that maximizes grip and feedback on sealed surfaces. With 260 mm of ground clearance, it still won't flinch at the occasional rough patch. Priced at ₱589,000 and available in two colorways, the DR-Z4SM is a rare thing in the Philippine market — a proper supermoto with modern electronics, a storied nameplate behind it, and enough character to make every ride worth remembering.
