STYLED FOR AERODYNAMICS

• Large Winglets — The winglets extending to either side not only highlight the machine’s advanced aerodynamic performance, but also effectively generate downforce that increases front-end feel for greater cornering confidence.
• Next-Generation Ninja Styling — Compact projector/reflector hybrid headlights, repositioned Ram Air intake and prominent new winglets give the Ninja ZX-10R its new “face,” enhancing the strong Ninja family image.
• Aerodynamic Riding Position — Handlebar and footpeg positions contribute to an aggressive, circuit-focused riding position that also helps riders minimise drag when tucked behind the windshield going down the straight.

BUILDING ON WORLDSBK-PROVEN PERFORMANCE

• Powerful 998 cc Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke In-Line Four — The Ninja ZX-10R’s engine balances stunning power with manageability, offering linear power delivery right to its heady peak power.
• Light Handling Chassis
• High-Grade Showa Suspension — Circuit-focused settings for the WorldSBK-developed BFF (Balance Free Front Fork) and BFRC lite (Balance Free Rear Cushion) shock facilitate front-rear weight transfer and contribute to light handling.
• High-Performance Brembo Brake System — Dual high-spec Brembo M50 monobloc calipers gripping large ø330 mm discs, specially prepared radial-pump master cylinder and race-quality steel-braided lines* deliver next-level braking performance.

TECHNOLOGY TO HELP RIDERS EXPLORE THE LIMIT

• Kawasaki Cornering Management Function
• Sport-Kawasaki TRaction Control — S-KTRC, Kawasaki’s hybrid predictive/feedback-type traction control, helps riders push harder on the racetrack by maximising acceleration.
• Kawasaki Launch Control Mode — Designed to assist racers by optimising acceleration from a stop, KLCM electronically manages engine output to minimise wheelspin and wheel lift when launching.
• Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System — KIBS, Kawasaki’s supersport-grade brake management system, uses high-precision control to regulate brake pressure during sport riding.
• Control your Speed — The Kawasaki Engine Brake Control system allows riders to select the amount of engine braking they prefer.
• Kawasaki Quick Shifter — Dual-direction KQS system allows both clutchless upshifts and downshifts, facilitating circuit riding.

ENHANCED STREET-RIDING EXPERIENCE

• Traction control and power delivery at the push of a button
• Increased Riding Comfort — Kawasaki’s cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button.
• Full-Colour TFT Instrumentation — A larger 5” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance.
• Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE — Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed wirelessly, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience.

ELEVATED TRACK-FOCUSED POTENTIAL

• Pankl Performance Parts
• Titanium Fork Coating — On the Ninja ZX-10RR, a super-hard titanium coating on the outer surface of the fork’s the inner tubes reduces sliding friction (stiction) and improves action, contributing to the smoother ride.
