Suzuki Australia has announced the arrival of the new RM-Z250K8
four-stroke motocross machine, featuring a number of key
developments that ensure it will be the one to catch on the
racetrack.
Featuring a lightweight and powerful 249cc, four-stroke engine
coupled with a strong, lightweight aluminium chassis, Showa
suspension and an array of high-performance components, the RM-Z250
is a pack-leading Pro Lites racer.
The latest version of this awesome motocrosser features a wide
range of modifications, including developments to the engine,
frame, suspension and brakes, plus striking new graphics.
Powered by a compact, 249cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC
engine, Suzuki’s latest RM-Z250 is further improved with a
redesigned piston profile for less mechanical resistance, to
deliver exhilarating performance.
The composite-plated, aluminium-alloy cylinder offers increased
durability, optimum engine cooling and operating temperature, with
a forged, two-ring piston designed for maximum oil retention and
minimal wear.
Incorporating two ignition maps, the AC-CDI ignition system
automatically increases engine idle speed to reduce engine brake
effect, while the ignition timing and rev limiter are set for
optimum high rpm and over-rev performance.
Newly equipped with a Keihin FCR37MX carburetor with bat-wing
type air guide plates results in better mid-to-high power output
and improved throttle response at low rpm.
The twin-spar aluminium-alloy frame, based on the championship
winning RM-Z450, now offers even better rider manoeuvrability
through a revised chassis.
Modified to reduce weight and improve shock absorption, the 47mm
inner tube, Showa inverted, twin-chamber, cartridge-style front
fork offers 22-way compression damping, 20-way rebound damping and
300mm of wheel travel, delivering even more agile handling for
racers.
The Showa rear shock absorber comprises a newly designed damper
case and modified internal structure for a better controlled feel
and increased bottoming resistance.
Race-inspired front and rear brake wave-rotors provide better
cooling performance and increased mud deflection in muddy
conditions.
Set to stand out from the pack, Suzuki’s distinctive
Champion Yellow livery incorporates aggressive new graphics for
2008, while the new gold-plated drive chain and axle blocks give a
full factory look.
The Suzuki RM-Z250 is now available at an SRP of $9,990 (inc
GST).
