2026 Suzuki DR-Z 125L

DR Z125L

Blending race-inspired looks along with an exciting entry-level off-road package creates the DR-Z. Built around a time-proven chassis and engine package. Inheriting sleek designs from its RM-Z brothers, the DR-Z yields motocross styling that looks good at the local track or a favourite trail.

Two for the trails

The DR-Z comes stocked with all the necessities for long, exciting rides. A larger 19-inch front tire and 16-inch rear tire as well as a front disk brake provide a longer lifespan of usefulness. Styled to reflect the RM-Z models, this DR-Z promotes a more race-oriented look while the sharp handling and strong low-to-mid end power provide the get-up-and-go that defines off-road bikes. The looks are a testament that you can’t judge a book by its cover because the DR-Z125L is a simple package packed with loads of fun.

Compact, 124cc, four-stroke, single cylinder, SOHC, air-cooled engine provides strong low- to mid-range power delivery that can be easily handled.
