A report in September 2018 said that Suzuki would
launch four dirt bikes in the Indian market – DR-Z50, RM-Z250, RM-Z450 and
RM-X450Z. The company has launched two of them now – the RM-Z250 and RM-Z450,
at INR 7.1 lakh and INR 8.31 lakh respectively (both, ex-showroom Delhi).
The Suzuki RM-Z250 and Suzuki RM-Z450 are track
specific only and are not supposed to be used on public roads. Thus, you won’t
find hardware like headlight, tail light, blinkers or rear-view mirrors on these
bikes.
The 2019 Suzuki RM-Z450 uses a 449 cc, four-stroke,
fuel-injected, DOHC engine. The performance numbers have not been disclosed
yet. The feature list of the RM-Z450 includes Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control
(S-HAC) that is available in three selectable modes. The motorcycle also comes
equipped with a new balance free rear cushion (BFRC) technology. It has a
21-inch wheel at the front and an 18-inch wheel at the rear. The larger front
wheel is a typical trait of off-roading motorcycles that tackle the rough
terrain more effectively. The RM-Z450 tips the scale at 112 kg (kerb) and
offers 330 mm of ground clearance.
The Suzuki RM-Z250 has a 249 cc,
four-stroke, fuel-injected, DOHC engine. It’s marginally lighter than the
RM-Z450, with a kerb weight of 106 kg. Also, the RM-Z250 offers a higher ground
clearance of 345 mm (+15 mm).
Suzuki Motorcycle India has not disclosed any
details about the DR-Z50 and the RMX450Z. To give you a quick recap, the
RMX450Z uses the same 449cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine
that is seen on the RM-Z450. However, it comes equipped with a headlight for
enduro riding. The DR-Z50 uses a 49 cc, four-stroke, air-cooled,
single-cylinder engine, and it has a kerb weight of 54kg.
