POWER

POWERFUL & EFFICIENT

Internal engine designs, from the lightweight crankshaft and pistons to the wide intake and exhaust ports, focus on producing peak power and delivering strong low- to mid-range power for quick acceleration.

WORLDSBK INSPIRED

Valve train inspired by Kawasaki’s WorldSBK engineers is an example of top-level racing technology. Finger-follower valve actuation enables a higher rev limit and more aggressive cam profiles – both contributing to high-rpm performance.

CONTROLLED POWER DELIVERY

47mm electronic throttle valves and 32-bit ECU operate with great precision to provide smooth engine response.

LIGHTWEIGHT & BALANCED

The titanium alloy exhaust system is heat resistant, lightweight and positioned to create a low center of gravity for effective mass centralization and light handling.

HANDLING

AGILE & BALANCED

New chassis geometry moves front/rear balance forward for improved handling and turning performance. Frame and swingarm updates lower the swingarm pivot and lengthen the wheelbase providing improved rear suspension action during corner exits.

CONFIDENT BRAKING

Front Brembo® brakes feature a pair of massive 330mm semi-floating discs that deliver superb braking force and brake feel. The brake system features dual radial-mount Brembo M-50 cast aluminum monobloc calipers, Brembo’s highest grade mass production brake calipers. Experience increased controllability, stronger braking force and greater freedom of movement with revised rear brake pads and a repositioned rear brake reservoir.

FORM MEETS FUNCTION

Every update to the Ninja® ZX™-10R supersport is designed to deliver maximum aerodynamic performance. A new upper cowl and windshield offers significant drag reduction while new integrated upper cowl winglets generate downforce to help keep the front wheel grounded. A host of styling updates like LED headlights and front, side and tail cowl design live up to the legendary aggressive styling Ninja® sportbikes are known for while contributing to advanced aerodynamics.
