Build: Jay Clark and David Langran

Our 2019 Suzuki RM-Z250 project was coordinated by Jay Clark and designed by David Langran. Langers does a great job every year of designing a bike that is clean, unique, and fast-looking. The 2019 Suzuki is a big step forward from last year, but it has its issues. Primarily, the RM-Z250 is massively over-sprung—an easy fix, but it has to be addressed. And while the engine is noticeably better than the 2018 version, we wanted to boost the numbers a bit more. We started our build by focusing on handling. Here are the products we used in this build.
