Suzuki Motorcycles has expanded its benchmark QuadSport
all-terrain vehicle range with the arrival in Australia of the new
QuadSport Z250.
This exciting new QuadSport machine has been developed from
Suzuki’s
high-performance QuadSport Z400 as an entry-level sports
ATV.
"Suzuki continues to set the standard in the world ATV market,
and the new LT-Z250 Quadsport is a logical next step in the
range’s development," Perry Morison, General Manager
Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia said.
"The new model is the perfect first sports ATV … it has
the performance pedigree of its larger brothers but is more
manageable for less experienced riders."
Aggressively styled with sharply curved front and rear fenders
and an angled headlight, the distinctive QuadSport Z250’s
T-shaped seat narrows in front to blend with the fuel tank, giving
this new ATV a real ‘motocross’ look.
Its single-cylinder four-stroke 246cc engine delivers
easy-to-use, smooth power through a broad rpm range. The
combination of a BSR-type carburettor and a large, well-protected
airbox gives this sporty ATV strong takeoff response and excellent
all-round performance.
A specially tuned exhaust system delivers a sporty note, while
rider comfort is assisted by rubber engine mounts that eliminate
engine vibrations. A solid steel engine skid plate protects the
LT-Z250 engine from rocks and other debris.
A push-button ignition and convenient Start-In-Gear-System make
for easy operation.
The Suzuki QuadSport’s five-speed transmission includes a
reverse that is engaged from neutral by simply turning the
fender-mounted knob, and a low-maintenance shaft-drive system means
that the final drive gear is ultra-efficient.
Suzuki’s QuadSport Z250 features independent
double-wishbone front end suspension with five preload adjustment
positions, while a single coil-over damper allows the aluminium
rear wheels 155mm of travel.
Stopping power is provided via large-diameter front disc brakes
and a single rear drum brake, which can also be set as a parking
brake.
Other important features of Suzuki’s new QuadSport Z250
ATV include a large 10.6 litre fuel tank, dual beam headlights,
21-watt rear brake lights and a 5 litre water-resistant utility
box.
The suggested retail price of the all-new LT-Z250K4 is $8990
including GST, and it is available in both Champion Yellow No.2 and
White colour schemes.
