With its perfect balance of performance and handling, Suzuki's latest 450 weapon was born to dominate. Strong, controllable power delivery complemented by extraordinarily lightweight handling means you can launch out of corners with breathtaking acceleration and attack the gnarliest sections of the track with total confidence.
At the heart of this beast is a powerful titanium-valved 4-stroke engine, with improved performance, particularly at the bottom and mid-ranges. This is thanks to reshaped intake ports, higher compression, iridium spark plugs and revised carburettor settings.
The lightweight exhaust system boasts a longer titanium header pipe for more power, yet is kept quieter with a new FIM-spec muffler.
The new automatic camchain tensioner reduces maintenance while the revised 4-speed transmission gives more drive in 3rd and outright speed in 4th gear. The lightweight chassis with updated aluminium swingarm and twin spar frame features thicker lower tubes and thinner tank rails for unmatched cornering performance.
Delivering maximum airflow to the larger air filter, the sidecovers feature new vents, while a gripper seat cover increases knee grip for perfect control. Showa suspension helps smooth out the ride with fully adjustable 47mm twin-chamber cartridge style forks and a rear shock with high and low speed compression adjustment.
Built with lessons learned from Ricky Carmichael's racetrack domination, Suzuki's ultimate weapon is ready for launch.
