October 15, 2008 8:44 AM AWST

The street legal DR-Z250 is a stalwart of Suzuki's dirt bike range. Developed to offer the best of both worlds, the Suzuki DR-Z250 is a serious off-road performer with the added convenience of being 100% street legal. Powering the DR-Z250 is a 4-stroke engine that features a wide, flat torque curve, providing excellent pulling power right across the rev range.

Air/oil-cooled, the 249cc engine features dual overhead camshafts and a four-valve Twin-Swirl Combustion Chamber cylinder head. A quick release airbox cover provides access to the heavy duty air-cleaner for easy maintenance.

The Suzuki DR-Z250 comes into its own on the trails with the rigid frame allowing nimble handling, and the ability to traverse everything from the tightest corners to the steepest inclines with ease.

Fully adjustable suspension features cartridge style forks up front, with long travel suspension fitted at the rear. Fully adjustable compression and rebound damping front and rear allow the rider to tailor the bike to suit any conditions.

Ample stopping power for this new DR-Z is provided by hi-tech front and rear disc brakes.
