Suzuki launches '09 two-stroke XC range
By TMX Archives on 15th Jan 09
SUZUKI GB is offering a refreshing alternative for Hare and Hounds and Cross-Country riders this winter, with the introduction of the two-stroke RM XC range.
Available in both 125 and 250 versions, the new XC models are derived from the hugely popular and established RM range, boasting everything a Hare and Hounds or Cross-Country rider needs, featuring a larger capacity fuel tank, hand guards, O-ring chain and a Relentless Fast Eddy replica graphics kit.
Talking about the introduction of these models was Suzuki GB's George Cheeseman, who commented: "This element of the sport is not only a growing area, but also a discipline that is close to many of us at Suzuki.
"We appreciate the demand for bikes that are more focussed for this sport, while recognising that many riders do not require full-spec enduro bikes with the additional registration and road-fund costs. With the XC range, we are able to offer a proven machine
that is a focussed but cost effective alternative to the usual choices.”
Available from all authorised off-road Suzuki dealers, with just a £200 increase in retail price over the standard models, the RM125XC has a recommended retail price of £3,920 and the 250XC will be £4,210 inc VAT.
The RM125XC and RM250XC models will be used by Relentless Suzuki Enduro rider, Paul ‘Fast Eddy' Edmondson, at various events during the 2009 season.
