Two years ago, Suzuki stunned the world with the first fuel-injected motocross bike. The RM-Z450 has helped racers collect wins and trophies around the globe.
To build on this success, Suzuki have thoroughly updated the RM-Z450 with across-the-board engine upgrades to boost power, as well as detailed frame and suspension modifications for quick, accurate steering and confidence-inspiring handling all in one package.
A high performance machine whose racing pedigree enables it to be competitive right from the word go. Your advantage just got bigger with the new RM-Z450.

MORE DETAILSSuzuki’s engineers have carefully developed the RM-Z450’s powerful 449cm3, DOHC, 4-valve engine to increase power throughout the rev range. A combination of revised cam profiles and reworked cylinder-head porting give the RM-Z450 amazing idle-to-redline thrust. An improved camchain tensioner provides more consistent performance. Also a modified throttle linkage makes the low-speed response more progressive.
