Young and beginer riders need to focus on developing their skills. Designed for adult-supervised riders age 12 and older, the 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90 includes many convenience and safety features, such as an automatic CVT and a simple, screw-type throttle limiter allowing parents to control the maximum speed that make the learning experience both fun and safe.

While teenagers will appreciate the ease of use and aggressive, R450-like styling, their parents will no doubt love the reliability and value of the 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90, which starts at $3,499.

The air-cooled, 90 cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine that powers the 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90 is designed for durability and low maintenance. Compact and efficient, it also meets the strict emissions regulations imposed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). There's an electric starting system in addition to a standard backup recoil starter, while the large, 6.0L fuel tank should ensure long hours on the trail between fill-ups.

While it offers just 150 mm (5.9”) of ground clearance, the 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90 has a low seat height of just 650 mm (25.6”), making it very accessible. Speaking of which, the T-shaped seat is similar to that of the LT-R450 for smooth weight transitions and a comfortable ride, and is easy to remove for simple maintenance. Full floorboards provide secure footing.

The 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90 rides on a single A-arm front suspension with twin independent shock absorbers, and a long-travel, single-shock rear suspension. They are connected to a set of 8” wheels shod in tubeless tires. As for the brakes, you'll find large-diameter, semi-sealed drums up front, and a single, fully sealed drum in the rear.

Consider the 2014 Suzuki Quadsport Z90 along with other teen-friendly ATVs such as the Honda TRX90X, Kawasaki KFX90, Kymco Mongoose 90, Yamaha Raptor 90 or even the race-ready Can-Am DS X.
