Ride Engineering’s 2020 Suzuki RM-Z450 22mm offset triple clamps (stock is 21.5mm) are anodized black, are 4.5 ounces lighter than stock and grip the fork 12mm higher up than the stock clamp. The one-piece bar mounts feature 12mm posts instead of 10mm for much-needed additional strength. The bar mounts retain the stock height and can…
FMF has helped us on many builds and you may be wondering why do we use them so much? Well… A couple reasons are because FMF is a great American made company, they are easily accessible to us dumb media people and they actually care about the results of their product. If for whatever reason…

I’ve been helping out Keefer with photography content for some time now, but I’ve been wanting to get more into the testing side of things so Kris has gave me the opportunity to ride the 2020 Suzuki RM-Z450 test bike for the year, so the first mod for this bike was going…
No Suzuki didn't change anything on the RM-Z 250 in 2020, but that doesn't stop me from giving you some on track testing info on what it’s like to ride. I recently picked up my 2020 RM-Z 250 test bike and went out to a few tracks to get a re-fresher course on what it’s…

OK, so here we go with the long awaited part two of the 2019 RMZ450 “NEED ONLY” build. As we stated before in part one, this is a damn good bike that just needs a few improvements. So, in this part of the build we focused on trying to find a little more power, improving…
Nothing brings me more joy than watching my son share the same passion that I do for dirt bikes. However making the decision (as a parent) to purchase the correct machine can be somewhat confusing, difficult, and expensive. That is where Keefer Inc. Testing comes in! We decided to do a 2019 85cc shootout for…
The 2019 Suzuki RM-Z450 didn't fare well in any magazine shootout this year. Does that mean it should just get shunned and not paid attention to? No, absolutely not. Like I have said in my podcasts before, every bike is good, it’s just up to you on which one is right for you? How much…
The 2019 450 MX Shootout has officially taken the checkered flag. After three days of testing, over 100 pages of testing notes, 16 test riders, countless engine hours racked up, and over seven hours of testing information sent to your ears (via podcast) we finally have a winner. The results changed dramatically from last year’s…
