Sarà la crisi economica, sarà che ormai le moderne MX hanno raggiunto quasi la perfezione, ma di novità vere e proprie quest'anno ne abbiamo viste davvero poche. Così anche Suzuki si allinea al trend generale e per le RM-Z 450 e RM-Z 250 2012, conferma in toto i modelli 2011. Gli unici cambiamenti visibili ad occhio sono i nuovi elementi di protezione per gli steli forcella in nero e la sella bicolore in rosso/nero.
