Suzuki was the first to hit the ground with an EFI based 450 motocrosser just 2 short years ago. Since then, it’s been a horse race to see who could catch up and produce a system on par with those stuck in the yellow machines we see leading the pack at so many races. Since then Suzuki has been determined to figure out how to improve upon an already stellar motocross package and we’re guessing they’ve done so this year. Not only have they wedged an EFI system in their 250, they’ve also released a new off-road version of the 450.

First, let’s take a look at the new RM-Z 250. Here are some of the improvements for this year:

• Fuel Injection - Battery-less system with a 43mm body
• Engine Revisions - Higher revving and revised cam timing
• Chassis - Revised ergonomics in the subframe and swingarm

Next, the championship winning RM-Z 450 takes on a number of revisions for this year as well:

• Engine Revisions - Revised cam timing and cylinder-head porting
• Fuel Injection Revisions - Improved with a reverse throttle valve movement
• Chassis - Alterations to the headstock and subframe

And finally, the new RMX450Z. Derived mainly from its brother the RM-Z450, the new X model receives a few tweaks to make it off-road worth, among them:

• Electric Start - Nuff said
• Transmission - Wider range transmission gearing
• Electronics - Lights, instruments, etc.
