2026 Suzuki DR-Z4S+ First Look: Dual-Sport Protective League
Championship Yellow No. 2/Solid Special White No. 2

Just a year into its run, the Suzuki DR-Z4S already had a premium edition—the 2026 Suzuki DR-Z4S+. The new “plus” version draws from the Genuine Suzuki Accessories catalog, adding protective parts to enhance the dual-sport bike’s durability off-road.

The 2026 Suzuki DR-Z4S+ takes the standard version and adds an aluminum skid plate ($300 MSRP), a front disc brake cover ($50), a rear disc brake cover ($40), and Knuckle Covers (aka handguards, $80). Purchased separately, those accessories run $470. However, the DR-Z4S+ adds them all for an additional $300—the same price as the skid plate alone.

Until we get a chance to test the 2026 Suzuki DR-Z4S+, you can read our comprehensive review of last year’s Suzuki DR-Z4S, which is otherwise identical to the new + edition.
