2017 DR-Z400SMSuzuki's SuperMoto DR-Z400SM is based on the proven DR-Z400S so it combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight street-legal package. This bike brings off-road soul and fun to paved roads. It's not uncommon to take the SuperMoto down a twisty forest road, around tight canyon corners, or glide through commuter traffic. Its 398cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine provides strong low-rpm torque and crisp throttle response for any of these occasions. Key difference between the DR-Z400SM and the DR-Z400S are the inverted front fork, wide, spoke-style wheels, and 300mm diameter front brake disc. The inverted fork contributes to less unsprung weight and improved overall handling, while the large brake and wider rims with high-grip tires offer an exhilarating sportbike experience.Chassis FeaturesWide, blue-anodized RK Excel aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes are fitted with high-grip sportbike radial tires: 120/70-R17 front & 140/70-R17 rearStrong braking performance is supplied by a front disc brake with a large 300 mm floating-type rotor and dual-piston caliper, plus a 240 mm rear disc brake with single-piston caliperLong travel, SHOWA inverted front fork is derived from a RM250 and features adjustable compression / rebound damping and alumite coating on inner tube surfaces for smooth actionA fully adjustable rear shock absorber with high / low speed compression damping adjuster and a tapered RM-inspired aluminum swingarm combine for precise rear wheel controlRenthal tapered aluminum handlebar has an aggressive look, reduces vibration and has a great bend for spirited ridingChrome-moly steel frame tuned for Supermoto style riding is torsionally strong with minimal weight.
