Suzuki Australia press release:

The 2016 model of Suzuki’s popular junior dirt bike, the DR-Z70 is now on sale in Australia.

Made in Japan and designed specifically for young riders, the Suzuki DR-Z70 is a little bike with a big heart, featuring a 70cc engine with 10-inch wheels and is the perfect tool for youngsters learning the fundamentals of riding or developing their skills.

Between now and January 31, every DR-Z70 purchased will come with a BONUS Factory graphics kit making sure your child will be the envy of all others at the track.

The whisper quiet, 4-stroke, air-cooled engine delivers plenty of torque to leave the competition in its dust. With more displacement than its class rivals, the DR-Z70’s automatic-clutch equipped engine provides impressive performance from a smooth, controllable powerband.

An electric starter and handlebar start button means the DR-Z70 is also simple to get going. Alternatively, riders can kick start the DR-Z70, power can be controlled to suit riders experience via the adjustable throttle limiter and there’s the security of a keyed ignition to provide maximum parent control.

With a steel frame, the durable DR-Z70 is the lightest of its starter-motor equipped class rivals, weighing just 55kg ready to ride. Delivering a fun and controllable ride, the Suzuki has inverted telescopic front forks with 97mm of wheel travel and a linkless rear swingarm, while the 10-inch tyres offer great traction.

With updated styling inspired by its bigger brothers – the championship winning RM-Z250 and RM-Z450 – the DR-Z70 has a race-style look that stands out from the crowd and is available in an aggressive Champion Yellow / Black livery.

The Suzuki DR-Z70 is now available for a recommended price of $2,390*, and is backed by Suzuki’s 6 month warranty.
