The Suzuki RM-Z450 leads the way into an exciting new era of motocross racing by incorporating advanced fuel-injection technology to yet again establish the Suzuki brand as a leader in the global motorcycling industry. In addition to revolutionizing motocross engine technology, suspension and braking package to deliver incredible handling, Suzuki engineers have redesigned the chassis, ensuring Suzuki riders are equipped to dominate. Drawing on the expertise gained with race-bred fuel-injection systems for the legendary Suzuki GSX-R road race machines and the championship winning QuadRacer 450 ATV, Suzuki has now applied leading edge technology to engineering the new moto RMZ450.



Suzuki engineers have also used experience from developing Ricky Carmichaels championship winning RMZ450 to redesign chassis, suspension and brakes, offering sharper handling, smoother suspension performance and more powerful braking. Fuel Injection has arrived on production motocross machines, with the introduction of the all new RM-Z450 Suzuki. Championship winning experience on and offroad, give Suzuki a unique advantage, bringing GSX-R technology from the hairpins and chicanes, to the whoops and berms.



In order to meet the strict motocross performance standards, Suzuki designed an new, battery-less electronic fuel injection system, equating to improved performance and responsive low-mid range power, while keeping weight to a minimum. Since fuel efficiency has been increased, tank capacity has been reduced to 6.2 litres. More specs and user manual of Suzuki RMZ450 you can see in next overview.
