Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production years: 2002, 2003
The 2003 MY DR-Z400 is the dirt-only version of the DR-Z400S, but on the technical side, the bikes are almost identical. Since the DR-Z400 has little or no need at all to take on asphalt, the dual-sport tires have been replaced by knobbies, with matching tweaks for suspensions offering excellent ground tracking alongside trails and dist tracks.
The DR-Z400 is a fairly lightweight bike and this makes it feel reassuring when the going gets tough, while being easy to pick up from the dirt. A powerful headlight makes riding in dim light much safer, too.
