2004 ｜DR-Z400SM
Supermotard that breaks new ground of riding potential
Based on the DR-Z400S, the DR-Z400SM was developed as an on-road street bike inspired by supermoto. Equipped with a lightweight and compact 400 cm³ 4-stroke liquid-cooled 1-cylinder DOHC engine, the DR-Z400SM is renowned for its power and rideability. To realize excellent road holding performance, the front suspension features the same inverted front forks as adopted by Suzuki’s RM series of motocross bikes. A tapered swingarm at the rear wheel creates a narrower axle area, helping to enhance rigidity and realize nimble handling. In addition, the adoption of lightweight wide aluminum rims and on-road 17-inch high-grip tires helps to ensure sporty fun-to-ride performance.
