Suzuki QuadSport Z50 specifications

Suzuki · Youth

The QuadSport Z50 is Suzuki's smallest youth ATV, a carbureted 49cc four-stroke with an automatic CVT, a throttle limiter and a tether stop. TimeForWheels calls it a solid balance of price and value, and Suzuki asks $2,629; 2026 Suzuki QuadSport Z50 specifications and price.

ATVpedia says Suzuki lists a 49cc carbureted four-stroke, an automatic CVT, keyed ignition, a throttle limiter, a tether stop, a 21.1 in seat, 29.9 in width, 174 lb curb weight and a 12-month warranty. It compares it with a Kawasaki that adds a CVT speed-control collar as well as a throttle limiter but whose 25.0-inch seat and 249.2 lb curb weight make it a different physical fit.

TimeForWheels says the carburetor gives a simple, reliable set-up that is easy to tune and maintain, making it ideal for young riders learning to handle power, and that for parents seeking a durable, easy-to-handle small ATV the Z50 offers a solid balance of price and value without extras that would go unused. The article adds that the next step up is usually a larger engine and more advanced suspension.

What the safety features mean

A throttle limiter restricts how far the throttle opens. So an adult can cap speed while the child learns. A tether stop cuts the engine if the rider is thrown off, and a keyed ignition lets a parent stop a child from starting the ATV alone. Those are the three features to check on any used youth ATV. The 12-month warranty is short. So a used one will likely be out of cover.

Against the Yamaha YFZ50 and Kawasaki KFX50.

The Z50 costs $130 more than Yamaha's YFZ50 at $2,499, and its 21.1 in seat is 1.9 in lower than the Yamaha's 23.0 in. So it suits a smaller child. Kawasaki's KFX50 is the other 50cc rival, and ATVpedia says its seat and weight are bigger.

What it costs to put on the ground

The $2,629 price is before any destination charge and dealer fees, so ask for an out-the-door quote. A helmet, gloves, eye protection and boots should be added for a small child. Because the machine is small and simple, a used one is a sensible purchase if the tether stop, keyed ignition and throttle limiter are all present. A 12-month warranty is short, so ask what cover applies.

Most children outgrow a 50cc quad within a season or two.

Who it suits

The Z50 suits a very small child on flat ground with a parent close by. Check the fit by having the child sit on it and reach the controls.
