Suzuki DR-Z4S: Just Arrived
Suzuki DR-Z4S: The Perfect Dual-Sport for Western Australia’s Most Diverse Terrain
LAMS Approved
Available Now at Albany Motorcycles
The wait is over. The completely reimagined Suzuki DR-Z4S has landed at Albany Motorcycles, and it’s ready to take you wherever the road—or trail—leads. Whether you’re commuting to work through Albany’s streets, exploring the Porongurup Range trails, or embarking on a Great Southern adventure along the coast, the DR-Z4S delivers genuine go-anywhere capability with modern technology that makes every ride more confidence-inspiring.
Why the DR-Z4S is the Smart Choice for Albany Riders
Living in Albany means access to some of Australia’s most diverse riding terrain. From sealed coastal roads with sweeping ocean views to challenging dirt tracks through jarrah forests, you need a motorcycle that can handle it all without compromise. The DR-Z4S is that bike.
This isn’t just an update of a classic—it’s a complete reimagining of what a dual-sport motorcycle should be. Suzuki has taken nearly four decades of DR-Z heritage and paired it with cutting-edge technology to create the most capable, rider-friendly dual-sport they’ve ever built. And for riders who need a LAMS-approved machine that doesn’t compromise on adventure potential, the DR-Z4S ticks every box.
Technology That Inspires Confidence
First-Ever Suzuki with Front and Rear ABS On/Off
The DR-Z4S breaks new ground as the first Suzuki production model featuring ABS that can be switched off for both wheels. On sealed roads, ride with the confidence of ABS protection. When you hit the trails, switch it off for full control on loose surfaces. It’s the best of both worlds, exactly when you need it.
Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.)
Advanced doesn’t have to mean complicated. The DR-Z4S is the first dual-sport model to include Suzuki’s complete Intelligent Ride System:
Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle delivers instant, precise throttle response that adjusts seamlessly to your riding style and conditions.
Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) lets you choose between riding modes optimized for different conditions, from smooth street cruising to aggressive trail riding.
Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) monitors rear wheel slip and manages power delivery to help maintain traction on varying surfaces—switchable when you want full control.
Easy Start System means no more hunting for the choke or perfect throttle position. Just thumb the starter and go, whether it’s a cold Albany winter morning or after a coffee stop in Denmark.
A Thoroughly Modern Engine
398cc of Controllable Power
The heart of the DR-Z4S is an all-new 398cc liquid-cooled, DOHC single-cylinder engine featuring Suzuki’s advanced fuel injection system. This isn’t just about making power—it’s about making the right kind of power, exactly where you need it.
Maximum Power: 28kW @ 8,000rpm
Peak Torque: 37Nm @ 6,500rpm
Weight: Just 151kg
The fuel injection system transforms response and controllability compared to older carbureted designs, delivering crisp throttle response whether you’re navigating tight singletrack or maintaining highway speeds. The broad, usable torque spread means you’ve got pulling power when you need it, from low-rev technical sections to highway overtaking.
Built for Real-World Adventure
Chassis and Suspension That Go the Distance
The DR-Z4S features a carefully engineered chassis designed for all-day comfort and confidence across any surface. The 935mm seat height strikes the perfect balance—tall enough for excellent ground clearance and rider visibility, manageable enough for confident stops at traffic lights or trailside.
Inverted telescopic front forks provide 285mm of plush, controlled travel that soaks up everything from highway expansion joints to rocky trail obstacles.
Link-type rear suspension with oil damping delivers 280mm of compliant travel, keeping the rear wheel planted while maintaining excellent ride quality.
21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels give you the right balance of off-road traction and on-road stability—true dual-sport capability.
Braking That Matches Your Ambition
A 270mm front disc with switchable ABS provides strong, controlled stopping power on sealed roads. The 240mm rear disc complements the front perfectly, and with the ability to switch ABS off for both wheels, you’ve got complete control over your braking setup for any terrain.
Perfect for Albany’s Lifestyle
Your Daily Commute,
Riding to work doesn’t have to be just transportation. With comfortable ergonomics, smooth fuel injection, and nimble handling through traffic, the DR-Z4S makes every commute an opportunity to enjoy the ride. The upright seating position gives you excellent visibility in traffic, while the 8.7-litre fuel tank means fewer stops at the servo.
Weekend Explorer
When Friday afternoon rolls around, the DR-Z4S is ready for whatever adventure you’ve got planned. Coastal roads to Bremer Bay? Dirt tracks through the Stirling Range? Multiday tour through the Great Southern? Just throw on your gear and go. Optional genuine Suzuki accessories like the rear carrier (2kg capacity), aluminium skid plate, and knuckle covers let you customize the bike for your specific adventures.
Farm and Property Work
Need a reliable way to check fences, move between paddocks, or access remote sections of your property? The DR-Z4S combines enough power to handle loaded riding with the agility to navigate tracks and gates. The low-maintenance fuel injection means reliable starting in all conditions, and the robust construction handles the demands of regular work use.
