Model Description


The Winning Balance

Fully re-engineered engine, chassis and electronics, plus dramatic new styling. The result? The most potent, balanced and competitive RM-Z450 yet.

Quicker. Faster. Higher. Harder.

Suzuki poured more than 40 years of open-class racebike engineering into the RM-Z450 to make it the hardest-hitting, sharpest-handling, best-balanced and most rider-friendly production motocrosser in company history. Now get out there and own it.

Power Everywhere.

To give riders an even stronger winning balance, the latest RM-Z450 engine has more low-end torque, a flatter overall torque curve, faster and yet more controllable throttle response, and more peak power.

Lightweight Chassis.

Light, rigid and agile, the latest Suzuki RM-Z450 gives riders sharper handling, better feel and more control than ever. Its all-new lightweight frame, swingarm significantly improve turning performance, whether you’re railing a berm or diving into the inside line.

ADVANCED SHOWA BFRC

The Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shares technology with the GSX-R1000R. The design balances pressure above and below the piston to better control the stroke and smooth out reactions to bumps and chop, even under severe braking.

SHOWA COIL-SPRING FORK

Showa front and rear suspension delivers improved control, quicker lap times and less fatigue under hard training or racing conditions. Up front, an updated Showa coil-spring fork replaces the SFF-Air fork of the previous-generation RM-Z450.
