2022 Suzuki RM-Z450 Horsepower and Torque

After shaking down the 2022 RM-Z450 with the Suzuki crew at Glen Helen Raceway, we put in a contemporary air filter, mounted a Dunlop D404 avenue tire on the rear wheel, and ran it in our in-house dyno. As anticipated, the unchanged mannequin made comparable figures to what it did final yr with 50.3 hp at 8,500 rpm and 32.9 pound-feet of torque at 7,400 rpm.

Peak torque is 0.5 pound-feet greater than what the Kawasaki KX450 and Yamaha YZ450F make.
