The rider-friendly Suzuki RM-Z450 that serves as a basis for Ken Roczen’s supercross and motocross racebikes is back. Although the 2024 Suzuki RM-Z450 is unchanged from last year, there is still a reason to be an early adopter.
If you buy the 2024 Suzuki RM-Z450 before September 30, 2023, you get the RM Army Edition kit. This highlight of the RM Army Edition kit is a full Pro Circuit exhaust system. It starts with a stainless-steel header and concludes with a muffler with a titanium shell and carbon fiber end cap. In addition to RM Army Edition graphics on the muffler and end cap, early buyers also get a Throttle Syndicate RM Army Edition decal set.
The friendly kickstart motor is back, along with the ability to tune the fuel injection and ignition timing via the included Suzuki MX-Tuner 2.0 coupler system and your smartphone. Bridgestone Battlecross X30 tires put the power to the ground, with some electronic help from traction control and a holeshot assist.
The list price of the 2024 Suzuki RM-Z450 is an approachable $9199, which includes the RM Army Edition kit when buying before September 30. Be sure to check out our review of last year’s RM-Z450.
