MXA RIDES DILLAN SCHWARTZ’S BARX SUZUKI RM-Z250

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 an AMA National or if we’d be blown away by the BarX Motorsports RM-Z250 and think that is what made Dilan a success story. 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 surprising finishes. The small BarX team impressed us, too. Their faith in the RM-Z250 is strong, and Twisted Development built them an engine that is a rocket ship.
