Dilan Schwartz's Bar X Suzuki RMZ250 TESTED - Motocross Action Magazine

#outdoor #adventure #motocross #motorcycle For a bike that is more stock than most, it’s impressive the BarX Suzuki RM-Z250 scored six top-10 overall finishes in the AMA 250 Nationals. So, how did Dilan Schwartz’s BarX RM-Z250 run on the track? It was very impressive. The bottom-end snap lived up to the hype. We could wheelie the RM-Z250 at any point on the track, even easier than we could Jo Shimoda’s Pro Circuit race bike we had tested the day before (see the full article on page 32), and we could soar over every jump on the stadium-style track with ease. After being lectured about the strong bottom end and the need to short-shift, the MXA riders spent the first test session appreciating the impressive torque of the Twisted Development-built bottom end. But before we went on the track for test session two, Larry asked us to wring it out a little more and add more top end to the test, which is kind of hard on a tight track like State Fair. Coming into our test day with the BarX Suzuki boys, we wondered if we’d walk away impressed with Dilan Schwartz’s ability to put the lowly Suzuki RM-Z250 in the top 10 at a National or if we’d be blown away by the BarX Motorsports RM-Z250 and think that is what made Dilan a winner. In the end, the scale tipped towards the rider. Dilan’s never-say-die attitude and willingness to hang it all out meant that he crashed a lot, but it also resulted in a lot of great finishes. The BarX team impressed us, too. Their faith in the RM-Z250 is strong, and Twisted Development built them an engine that is quite a rocket ship. Since our test day, Nissin has stepped up to sponsor the team and will now be supplying factory front brake systems. Subscribe to Motocross Action: https://hi-torque.com/product/subscri...
