2021 RM-Z RANGE AVAILABLE IN JANUARY

Suzuki’s Arenacross championship-winning RM-Z450 is available in its new 2021 livery from January, along with the MX2 RM-Z250 machine.

On both machines the standout yellow, synonymous with Suzuki’s off-road activity, is complemented by black radiator shrouds, white number boards, blue-topped seat, and retro-inspired, chunky RM-Z decals.

In 2020 the RM-Z450 picked up its fifth Arenacross championship since 2015, with Charles Le Francois winning for UK-based SR75 World Team Suzuki.

The title-winning RM-Z450 was completely redesigned in 2018 with a whole new chassis, making it the first production motocross machine to adopt Showa’s premium, race-proven balance free shock. It also put out more power than its predecessor with improved tumble flow, new intake cam profile, a 30% larger air filter aperture, new throttle body and injector.

The RM-Z250 benefitted from similar treatment a year later, with a new frame, swingarm, and suspension, plus a heavily revised engine for more power and torque. Both bikes get the Suzuki’s holeshot assist control and traction management systems.

2021 COLOURS REVEALED FOR SUZUKI’S 650 RANGES

Suzuki has revealed new colours for its 2021, Euro5-compliant 650 V-twin ranges, with updates to the ever-popular V-Strom 650 and SV650 machines.

The adventure-ready V-Strom 650XT, with spoked wheels and handguards plus traction control and low RPM assist, comes in a fresh version of Suzuki’s motocross yellow, complete with gold rims, paying homage to the off-road racing from the Japanese manufacturer.

Gold rims also adorn a new white edition, with gold and black accents on the tank, while a new black and red version plus a grey and blue model are also available.

The standard V-Strom 650 will come in red, white, and grey in 2021.

The middleweight naked SV650 is available in gloss black next year with a gold frame, or for those looking to stand out further from the crowd, a white model comes with a striking red frame and red wheels and black seat unit. Another matt black option is offset by a blue frame and blue wheels.

With dropped bars, a headlight cowling, and ribbed seat as standard, the café race-inspired SV650X comes in gloss black with a gold frame, but also swaps the chrome tipped exhaust and silver footrest hangers of the standard machine for all black items.

The 2021 V-Strom 650 and V-Strom 650XT plus both variants of the SV650 are available from January.
