2022 Suzuki RM-Z450

The RM-Z450 wraps a sleek, race-ready appearance around a strong engine and a nimble chassis that continues the Suzuki tradition of extraordinarily precise handling.

Developed using Suzuki’s RUN, TURN and STOP philosophy that creates a Winning Balance, the RM-Z450 has stronger brakes for better stopping power, a wider spread of engine muscle with higher peak power, and a chassis that is stronger, lighter and more nimble to raise the standard for cornering performance.

Features may include:

• FASTER. HIGHER. HARDER.

Motocross is a relentless game, and the technology and training needed for bike and rider to excel are too. Suzuki poured more than 40 years of open-class racebike engineering into the RM-Z450 to make it the hardest-hitting, sharpest-handling, best-balanced and most rider-friendly production motocrosser in company history.

Strong, Usable Engine Performance

• Great throttle response delivers high peak power.

• Evolved traction management system helps the bike hook up.

• Frame and swingarm balance lightness with strength.

• Chassis dimensions blend nimble handling with stability.

• The 449cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, DOHC engine is the latest incarnation of Suzuki’s proven and reliable fuel-injected powerplant.

• The engine has high peak horsepower with strong torque at lower engine speeds for excellent throttle response through the entire rev range.

• Traction Control

The RM-Z450 features an evolved and efficient traction management system. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) continually measures throttle opening, engine speed, and gear position and then adjusts the ignition timing and fuel injector duration to fine-tune the engine output to deliver the best traction for the riding conditions.
