Model History

The RMX450Z was first introduced in 2010, based on the RM-Z450 but tuned for enduro and off-road riding.
Suzuki discontinued the model for several years but reintroduced it in 2017 with minor updates.
The 2017 model is essentially a fuel-injected, electric-start version of the RM-Z450, modified for off-road conditions.
It remained available in limited markets, with Suzuki ceasing production for most regions after 2019.
