AMA NATIONAL MO,.OCROSS CHAMPION • Thoroughly redesigned engine, chassis and suspension provide crisper more responsive handling and more low-end and mid-range power. • Redesigned twin-spar aluminum frame helps improve cornering performance. • Reinforced steering head area offers maximum rigidity, and new engine placement enhances responsiveness in tight cornering. • Tapered aluminum swingarm features a larger main beam, increasing rigidity and offering better traction and improved straight-line stability, especially on rough tracks and accelerating out of corners. • Easy starting, hot or cold, thanks to an automatic centrifugal decompression system and a carburetor with hot start circuit. New hot start lever is relocated to the handlebar for easier access when riding. • Showa inverted, twin-chamber 47mm cartridge-type front fork has revised compression damping and increased spring pressure for even smoother responsiveness, better resistance to bottoming and enhanced straight-line performance. Fork fealures 22-way adjustable compression damping, 2G-way adjustable rebound damping and 12.2 inches of wheel travel. The four-stroke revolution is real, and the RM-Z450 is the radical machine that's leading the way toward a new world order. And that begins with the RM-Z450 taking its place as the newly crowned "AMA National Motocross Champion."
