2019 Suzuki RMX450Z Base

2019 Suzuki RMX450Z

Powerered by a torquey, fuel-injected, 449cc engine, the 2019 RMX450Z is the motorcycle that’s ideal for serious off-road work or just a fun day on the trails. Everything you need to take the lead off road is here, starting with the slim, aggressively-styled chassis and bodywork. Toss in the push-button electric starter, the full-function, two-mode instrument cluster, and enduro lighting, and you have the conveniences that take the worry out of your ride. Sharing core engine and chassis technology--plus new bodywork colors and graphics--with Suzuki’s Championship-winning open-class motocrosser, the RMX450Z rewrites the rules for serious trail riders.

Rev up. When you’ve got a Suzuki off-road motorcycle, the whole world looks a little different. You start seeing trails, desert, and single-track everywhere you look. Even a rainy day just means more mud to play in. Expect loads of torque across a wide powerband with high-rpm muscle to spare.

• The RMX450Z’s 449cc, four-stroke, four-valve, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC power plant is based on the high-performance and reliable RM-Z450.

• Minimal differences as compared to the RM-Z450 motocross engine include a modified inlet tract and revised cam profiles to increase low- and mid-rpm power.

• The compact aluminum cylinder is finished with Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) coating for durability, light weight, and efficient heat transfer.

• Strong five-speed transmission with wide gear ratios and primary/final drive ratios have been selected to suit various situations from steep trails to open terrain.

• The aluminum alloy twin-spar frame combines cast and extruded sections to achieve low weight with high rigidity and durability.

• RM-Z450-derived trail-ready suspension uses high-performance Showa forks with full adjustability.

• Aluminum link-style swingarm is descended from the RM-Z line and uses a fully adjustable Showa piggyback reservoir style rear shock.
