Suzuki revived the QuadRacer name for the LT-R450 in 2006, bringing a modern race-focused sport ATV back to the lineup after the long gap since the original two-stroke QuadRacer era. The new machine was developed with input from ATV racers and marked Suzuki’s return to the high-performance four-wheel segment with a fuel-injected four-stroke platform. It quickly became known for its competition intent and was used in racing soon after launch. Available documentation places the model through the 2009 model year, with no separate later revival of the nameplate. The QuadRacer 450 stands as an important chapter in Suzuki’s ATV history because it reintroduced the brand to the sport-quad class in the 2000s and carried the QuadRacer badge into the modern four-stroke racing era.
