2015 SUZUKI RM-Z450
FIRST RIDE

Suzuki says that the new fork
weighs 2.5 pounds lighter than
the previous spring fork and
is much stronger yet provides
just the right amount of rigidity.
With compression and rebound
clickers on the left side and the
triple air chambers on the right
side, the new Showa fork is not
only lighter and stronger, but
perhaps more importantly, is far
more adjustable. Also, with the
TAC design, you won't see a rise
in air pressure inside the cham-
bers when you see a rise in air
temperature outside, which is a
problem with the earlier single-
chamber air forks found on the
Honda CRF450R and KX450F.

performance.
