Model code: LT-R450K8
The ATV racing world has been shaken up big time with the Suzuki QuadRacer R450.
It has an aggressive, low and wide stance and stunning styling that lets everybody know it's engineered to provide race-winning performance right off the dealer's floor.
With a fuel-injected 450cc four-stroke powerplant based on the championship-winning Suzuki RM-Z450, the QuadRacer R450 rewards you with blazing acceleration out of corners, matched by a flat-out sensational top-end performance. It's also designed to handle the nastiest tracks and come back for more.
2008 model improvements include newly set ECU program and re-shaped cam profiles for increasing engine power output especially at low-to-mid range. Comfort has also been addressed with rubber mounted handle bars, redesigned counter shaft for better gear shifting feel and a textured seat surface for improved grip.
It has a technically advanced chassis and responsive, long-travel suspension front and rear with new Kashima-coating to reduce friction for smooth stroking action, so you can choose your line and go for it. For the 2008 model also, the swing-arm rigidity balance has been optimised with new settings of front and rear suspension and larger rear tyres for shock absorption.
There's even more good news. The QuadRacer R450 is not only race-ready, it's also designed to shatter the myth that high performance has to be high priced.
So don't just race - race to win, with the all new Suzuki QuadRacer R450.
