2016 Suzuki RM-Z250, 2016 Suzuki RM-Z250 The RM-Z250 continues to evolve for 2016, delivering a higher level of performance with suspension and frame advancements to improve its already class-leading handling, the addition of Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control (S-HAC), and extensive engine upgrades, bringing over 80 redesigned internal engine parts to the 2016 RM-Z250. Features may include: KYB Suspension - The 2016 RM-Z250 s suspension has been completely redesigned for improved handling, reduced weight and increased overall performance. The new KYB PSF2 air fork eliminates the coil spring, the heaviest part of a spring fork, resulting in a 1kg weight savings, and adjusting the suspension is now as simple as adding or subtracting air. Suzuki Holeshot Assist Control (S-HAC) - Designed for ease of use and maximum control of power to the ground, S-HAC lets you match the engine s power delivery to the starting conditions. A new, three-stage version of S-HAC fitted to the 2016 RM-Z250 adjusts the ignition map for the initial moment of launch, then re-adjusts timing for the time the motorcycle moves through the starting gate area, then another adjustment is applied during the longer primary acceleration period. Redesigned Frame - Designed to improve the RMZ-Z250 s already outstanding handling characteristics, the 2016 frame has been modified resulting in greater cornering and straight line performance. The overall frame weight has been lowered by 2.5%. A-Mode: For hard surfaces or slippery conditions at the starting gate. In this mode, S-HAC alters ignition timing at the moment of launch and the ride over the gate to reduce wheel slip to deliver a smooth take off. It also advances ignition timing during this sequence for stronger acceleration. B-Mode: When conditions at the starting gate have better traction, and a more aggressive launch is desired. S-HAC will advance the ignition timing to allow increased throttle response and stronger acceleration off the line. The ignition timing alternation is in a similar sequence as Mode A, but with increased overall timing. New Dunlop MX52 series tires are used featuring CTCS (Carcass Tension Control System) technology for superb rigidity and high level of grip. New light weight front brake caliper reduces mass while still providing outstanding stopping force. New clutch cover with oil level window. Reduced crankshaft inertia, increased magneto inertia to reduce engine braking losses.
2015 Honda CRF 250R, 2015 Honda® CRF® 250R More Tuneable, Better Handling. The Best 250 Out There. Everyone knows the Honda® CRF® 250R is one of the best handling bikes in the class. And for 2015 it just got a lot better, thanks to the addition of its new Showa® Air Fork SFF suspension. We made plenty of other fine-tuning changes as well. One ride, and we know you ll agree it was worth the wait. Some of the changes you ll spot right away the all-new Engine Mode Select button. It s an industry first for MX bikes, and it s going to make tuning your bike for changing track conditions a snap. Other changes include a larger front brake disc, a lighter throttle return spring and larger muffler exit-pipe diameter. One thing s for certain the closer you look, and the more you ride, the more you re going to realize that the new CRF® 250R is the best 250 you ve ever wheeled up to a start gate. Next Generation Showa Air Fork Lighter and easier to tune than a conventional-spring fork, the CRF® 250R s new Showa® SFF air fork improves suspension reaction and simplifies adjustments for track conditions. Choose Your Power This handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, depending on track conditions. Bigger Front Brake Disc The CRF® 250R s brakes have always been some of the best in the class, but they re even better this year thanks to a larger front disc (260mm) and a new rear disc shape. Twice As Good New for 2015, a larger-diameter exit pipe means more power. The CRF® 250R s mufflers are shorter, lower and tucked in much closer to the bike s center of mass.
