2017 Suzuki Motocross Lineup
The
2017 Suzuki RM-Z450 returns with the technology, features and
proven performance heritage that make it the choice of champions. A
robust yet compact 449cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine features
Suzuki
fuel-injection designed especially for motocross use. Racers can
choose from different fuel couplers included with the bike to
easily tune the system's fuel mapping trackside, no tools
needed.
The RM-Z's Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control system (S-HAC) lets the
rider choose one of three modes for the best launch from the
starting gate, helping any rider earn the holeshot. Derived from
the factory race bikes, the system's unique modes deliver specific
performance depending on the rider's skill and the gate
conditions.
The RM-Z450 uses
the Showa SFF-Air suspension to deliver reduced weight, increased
inner tube diameter, and increased damper rod/piston size. The
SFF-Air is made of three chambers, and riders easily change the
spring rate with an air pump instead of changing out the coil
springs.
2017 RM-Z250
The
2017 RM-Z250 received critical praise following all the updates it
received for 2016, including the Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control
(S-HAC), a selectable launch mode system that helps riders launch
from the starting gate no matter the gate conditions.
This RM-Z250 also
features the KYB PSF2 Pneumatic Spring Fork that delivers improved
performance, simplified tuning adjustments, and reduced weight
compared to the traditional spring fork. With no coil spring, this
fork uses a larger damper cylinder for greater response and more
stable performance, plus a weight reduction. The bike's KYB shock
absorber is connected link style to the swingarm via re-shaped
cushion rods and spacers. The nitrogen-charged, piggyback style
shock features a new top-mounted integral adjuster system for easy
adjustment of the high- and low-speed rebound, and high- and
low-speed compression damping force adjusters.
Razor-sharp handling is an RM-Z strongpoint, and this bike's frame
delivers improved control through braking bumps, has a lighter
feel, and maintains the RM-Z's cornering mastery.
2017 Suzuki RM85
Just
like its larger siblings, the RM85 delivers class-leading handling
for both experienced racers and rookie riders. The bike's 84.7cc
liquid-cooled two-stroke engine produces smooth power at any rpm,
with an emphasis on low to mid-range performance. Power is
delivered through a six-speed manual transmission.
The RM85's Showa 37mm inverted front forks are completely
adjustable for rider weight, style and ability, and offers
10.8-inches of travel. The Showa rear shock absorber, with large
diameter shock body, is calibrated to produce a plush feel and
increased resistance to bottoming, and provides 10.9-inches of
wheel travel.
As part of the 2017 RM, RM-Z and RMX launch, Suzuki is excited to
announce our 2017 Contingency program. Starting on Nov 1, 2016,
Suzuki will have over 6 million dollars in contingency available to
both professional racers contesting the national
Supercross/Motocross series and amateurs racing on weekends around
the United States of America. There has never been a better time to
race a Suzuki.
