WORLD CHAMP CHOOSES SUZUKI

08th December 2011

Reigning Downhill World Mountain Bike Champion, Danny Hart, took delivery of a new 2012 RM-Z250 Suzuki at the weekend, as the British rider agreed a deal with the Japanese manufacturer to support his winter training programme .

Hart, who emphatically won the World Cup series this year, thanks to his legendary 11 second win at the final round at Champery , will begin using the 2012 RM-Z250 as part of his winter training regime, where he regularly practices and competitively competes in motocross.

Danny Hart:  "I've been a big motocross fan and rider for years and funnily enough, have pretty much always ridden Suzuki. I was invited to a magazine shoot-out with the latest bikes a few weeks back and ended the day riding the Suzuki. For me it's the perfect package and straightaway I felt comfortable, so when I got talking to Suzuki about my winter training, the RM-Z250 was the perfect choice."

The factory Giant Mountain bike rider will race and practice with the RM-Z250 over the winter months before starting his 2012 World Downhill season in March in South Africa.
