With a retail price of $11,490, the 2108 RM-Z450 boasts a redesigned engine which offers more bottom-end torque as well as a boost in peak power output. There's an all-new chassis complemented by an upgraded swingarm, which results in a weight saving of 800g over the outgoing model as well as a 10mm shorter wheelbase.
The new bike features uprated Showa suspension at both ends and a swathe of electronic improvements including changes to the fuel injection and engine management system.
Both the 2018 RM-Z250 and RM-Z450 employ Suzuki’s adjustable holeshot assist, which gives riders a choice of three settings.
Renthal aluminum Fatbars are fitted as standard equipment, which are claimed to offer more strength and less vibration than standard size aluminium handlebars. The bikes are available in Suzuki yellow with new blue highlights inspired from the works race bikes.
