Suzuki's 2009 RM-Z250K9 motocrosser has landed in Australia,
ready to lead the pack.
The Pro Lites racer packs a punch, with a powerful 249cc,
four-stroke engine, lightweight aluminium chassis, Showa suspension
and Suzuki's latest off-road technology.
Team Shift Motul Suzuki's rising star Matt Moss will debut the
2009 model in this year's revamped Australasian Supercross
Championship, having recently won Round Seven and Eight of the Pro
Lites Motocross Nationals on an RM-Z250.
"With a host of race-bred technology, the 2009 RM-Z250 is a big
part of Suzuki's off-road line-up and set to be a key player in the
Australian motocross scene," Perry Morison, General Manager,
Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia said.
"Matt Moss has been in winning form this year, dominating the
National MX scene in the last few months.
"I'm sure he'll be one of the Pro Lites title favourites on the
new RM-Z250 when the 2008 Super X season kicks off in October."
The 249cc, four-stroke, DOHC engine is engineered to perform,
delivering impressive power throughout a wide powerband.
An aluminium-alloy cylinder, with Suzuki's Composite
Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder coating, and Suzuki
Advanced Sump System (SASS) form part of the compact, low-sitting
and lightweight engine.
Through its AC-CDI ignition system and control unit, ignition
timing and rev limiter are set for optimum high-rpm and over rev
performance.
With an automatic decompression system for kick-starts and
right-handlebar-mounted hot starter, getting the RM-Z250 going is
quick and simple.
Developed in competition, a high-strength, twin-spar
aluminium-alloy frame gives riders agile handling and confidence
through whoops.
The 47mm inner tube, Showa inverted, twin-chamber front fork
offers compression and rebound damping, and 310mm of wheel travel,
working in conjunction with a Showa rear shock absorber and
lightweight swingarm.
Race-inspired front and rear brake wave-rotors provide optimised
cooling performance and mud deflection.
Rider feel and comfort is enhanced by lightweight and
high-strength serrated footpegs, and Renthal tapered aluminium
handlebars with a Renthal-labelled handlebar pad.
Aggressive new graphics in 2009 accompany Suzuki's classic
Champion Yellow livery, while a gold-plated drive chain and axle
blocks complete the factory racer look.
Suzuki's 2009 RM-Z250 is now available from local Suzuki
dealers, for an RRP of $9,990\*.
\*RRP includes GST, plus dealer delivery charges.
