Suzuki's DR-Z400 built a cult following among Australia's enduro crowd. Its successor, the 2026 DR-Z4S, gains fuel injection and rider aids, with the chassis also completely redesigned.
The DR-Z400's successor has finally gone fuel-injected, and the chassis has been completely overhauled on top of that. Compared to the previous model, this is the biggest piece of news. How did they add fuel injection and rider aids to a bike beloved for its simple carbureted character, evolving it without killing that manageability? This is exactly the kind of bike that makes me want to line up the old and new specs and compare them all night.

As the successor to a legendary bike, waiting this long has pushed expectations to their absolute peak.
Didn't realize the DR-Z400 was this popular in Australia's enduro scene.
Feels like it can finally stand on the same footing as the latest dual-sports like the KLX450R and WR450F.
This has been a genre left neglected for years, so genuinely welcome to see it finally catching up.
They say it's a full chassis overhaul, but curious whether the DR-Z400's light weight and easy handling survive it.
Fuel injection and added rider aids probably mean extra weight, so I'll wait for the real-world impressions on that.
Going from carburetor to fuel injection, plus rider aids on top — a leap to a whole different generation compared to the old DR-Z.
Knowing the cult following the DR-Z400 has, just seeing the DR-Z4S arrive is enough to get the heart racing.
