Hot Cams 2249-1IN Stage 1 Intake Camshaft Suzuki DR-Z400 LT-Z400

Maximize Low-End Grunt and Throttle Response

If you are looking to transform your bike's power delivery for tight trails or technical terrain, the Hot Cams Stage 1 Intake Camshaft is the ultimate solution. Available at Moto-House MX, the 2249-1IN is specifically engineered to boost low-end torque and mid-range pull. This camshaft provides the "punch" needed to lift the front wheel over obstacles or accelerate out of corners with authority, making it the preferred choice for woods riders and dual-sport enthusiasts alike.

Every Hot Cams performance camshaft is designed and dyno-proven in the USA using state-of-the-art valvetrain software. CNC machined from 8620 billet, case-hardened steel, this intake cam features an exact lobe profile that ensures a perfect fit and long-term durability. This model incorporates Hot Cams' Improved Throttle Design (ITR) technology, which significantly sharpens throttle response across the entire RPM range. As a true "drop-in" modification, it provides a 5% to 10% power gain while utilizing your factory valve springs for a simplified installation process.
