Suzuki Introduces 2017 Offroad Motorcycles
Engineered from
championship-winning lineage, the all-new 2017 Suzuki RMX450Z is
the enduro motorcycle for serious off-road riders. Suzuki has taken
the best of the RM-Z450 and added trail-mastering features such as
electric start, full-function instrumentation, 18-inch EXCEL rear
wheel, and enduro lighting to create the new RMX450Z.
2017 RMX450Z
"The 2017 RMX450Z delivers renowned Suzuki handling, power and
reliability to off-road riders," said Kerry Graeber, Vice
President, Sales and Marketing for Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.
"Suzuki has established a performance edge with the RM-Z family of
competition bikes, and we are excited to introduce an
off-road-focused motorcycle derived from that family. This
expansion of the Suzuki line gives riders who grew up with smaller
Suzuki off-road bikes a new model to step up to."
The new 2017 Suzuki RMX450Z delivers an enduro punch for trail
riders who want a higher level of performance. This new off-road
achiever shares core componentry with the championship-winning
RM-Z450 motocross bike. It begins with a 449cc four-stroke,
four-valve engine featuring Suzuki fuel-injection technology that
delivers smooth power, trusted reliability and high fuel
efficiency. For off-road uses, Suzuki engineers modified the
engine's intake, added an easy-access hinged airbox, and revised
the cam profiles for improved low- to mid-range power delivery. The
package also includes a larger magneto-generator for battery
charging and headlight power. A wide-ratio, five-speed transmission
helps riders power through a variety of conditions.
The RMX uses an aluminum-alloy twin-spar
frame that is lightweight and provides the needed rigidity and
durability to triumph over tough trails. Fully adjustable SHOWA
forks and piggyback-reservoir-style shock are off-road focused,
delivering the handling edge that makes the RM-Zs famous. The RMX
runs on trail-ready, black-anodized Excel aluminum rims, 18-inch
rear and 21-inch front.
A bright 35W headlight is well-integrated into this enduro's front
number plate. Rear illumination is handled by a small, low-draw LED
taillight tucked under the fender. The bike's frame gets needed
protection items such as high-impact guards for fork legs, rear
brake rotor and caliper. A full-function instrument panel features
sport and standard-mode operation to provide riders with just the
information needed for the ride. The instruments rest on the
standard-equipment Renthal Fatbar handlebars - the strong and
vibration-reducing choice for high-performance riders. The new
RMX450Z is ready to give trail riders the high-performance edge
they desire.
2017 Suzuki DR-Z125L
The 2017 Suzuki
DR-Z125L serves a range of off-road interests. Its compact,
air-cooled four-stroke engine produces ample power that is easy to
access, and meets today's tough emissions standards. This
off-roader's 19-inch front tire and 16-inch rear tire contribute to
agile handling on a variety of terrain, and work well with the
bike's smooth suspension action. The DR-Z125L is
styled in Champion Yellow and Black, just like the race-focused
RM-Z models.
2017 Suzuki
DR-Z70
The Suzuki DR-Z70
returns to the off-road lineup in 2017, ready to perform for
off-roading youth, from first-time dirt bikers to young riders
moving up the performance curve. This off-roader features a 67cc
air-cooled four-stroke engine with twin valves and a three-speed
auto-clutch transmission. The bike's 10-inch front and rear wheels
are sized right for young riders. This DR-Z's chassis is designed
with child-friendly dimensions, with emphasis on weight savings,
and a 22-inch seat height. Parents will appreciate the keyed
ignition.
