Sitting atop 20×7 front tires and 18×10 rears, the high-tensile steel frame of the Suzuki QuadRacer R450 uses a race ready steel swingarm that Suzuki claims to be more flexible, thus less prone to breaking.
Bolted to the swing arm is an impressive Kayaba piggyback offering adjustable high/low speed compression and rebound damping and adjustable spring preload.
Up front are two fully adjustable Kayaba piggybacks strapped into a super wide independent double wishbone front end. Putting the suspension to the test on California’s Glen Helen Raceway was all in a day’s work for the R450.
Whether tweaked out carving a hairpin in third gear or launching off the front triple, the geometry and design proved confidence inspiring all day long.
