The choice of discerning competitors everywhere, the 2022 RM-Z250 is ready for battle. The agile RM-Z250 combines the sleek, appearance and excellent ergonomics of the RM-Z450 with a versatile engine and responsive chassis that deliver superior on-track performance. Delivering on Suzuki’s “RUN, TURN, and STOP” philosophy, factory engineers have made the RM-Z250 a formidable competitor. The RM-Z250 has continually set the standard as the best handling 250 on the track. Fed by a dual injector EFI system, a center-port cylinder head and an AMA-compliant exhaust, the RM-Z250’s engine delivers strong, usable power through the entire rev-range, furthering Suzuki’s performance heritage. The twin-spar aluminum frame and hydro-formed swingarm utilize a KYB-supplied suspension that includes a coil spring fork and a rear shock with four-way damping force adjustment. Strong brakes and ergonomically shaped yet stylish bodywork help the rider maximize control as the RM-Z250 carves up the racetrack, looking great all the while. Tuning the fuel injection and ignition for maximum performance remains very easy thanks to Suzuki’s smartphone-based MX-Tuner 2.0 app and proven fuel-coupler system. Suzuki’s Winning Balance is on display with the 2022 RM-Z250 while delivering on its own high standard for excellent performance.
