The all-new 2013 Suzuki RM-Z250 is due to arrive on Australian
shores mid September and is sure to leave its competitors in their
wake.
Key goals for Suzuki engineers when developing the all-new 2013
RM-Z250 were to refine engine components to deliver more mid-range
power, improve overall handling and reduce noise levels without
compromising performance.
The RM-Z250's overhauled 249cc, 4-stroke, fuel-injected, DOHC
engine, with its compact and lightweight design packs a punch and
powers the race machine to championship winning performance with
increased acceleration, faster throttle response and broader
mid-range power and torque.
Developed and tested by factory race teams, the 2013 model comes
with an all-new three per cent lighter piston and reshaped piston
pin enhancing durability and more efficient lubrication,
contributing to better throttle response and smoother power
delivery.
The revised cam specification, intake cam profile and exhaust
cam timing achieve an ideal balance between high performance and
ease of power control when competing on the track.
To fine-tune fuel preferences to suit track conditions, two
couplers are enclosed allowing the rider to easily change fuel
settings by connecting either coupler.
A smooth but solid shift feel is ensured thanks to the all-new 5
speed transmission offering more precision in shifting with a
change in the clutch release cam shape reducing the force required
to operate the clutch, and enhancing the clutch feel.
The RM-Z250 is now equipped with an all-new race-bred 48mm Showa
Separate Function Fork containing the spring on the right leg,
while the left leg incorporates the cartridge assembly to manage
damping with the result being less friction, increased damping and
an overall weight saving.
A key goal of Suzuki engineers was the redesigned exhaust system
that meets new FIM sound control regulations, thanks to a 40mm
extension of the exhaust pipe and redesigned internal muffler
parts, increasing bottom to mid-range power and torque, without
compromising engine performance.
The redesigned frame and seat optimise rigidity and balance for
agile handling and stability with stylish two-tone radiator shrouds
and all-new aggressive graphics accentuating the RM-Z250's agile
look.
The 2013 Suzuki RM-Z250 is available now for a Recommended Price
