Top Features
High-Grade 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.
Enhanced Street-Riding Experience
For riders who enjoy street riding, features like integrated Riding Modes, Electronic Cruise Control, smartphone connectivity, and full-colour TFT instrumentation with a gimbal-style lean angle display and turn-by-turn navigation* offer even greater satisfaction. *Navigation functions will be available only to users who have a licence. **Feature availability varies by market.
Technology to Help Riders Explore the Limit
The highly sophisticated electronic management systems on the Ninja ZX-10R facilitate rider control and allow riders to experience what it is like to ride a high-powered superbike at the limit on the track.
High-Performance Brembo Brake System
Dual high-spec Brembo M50 monobloc calipers gripping large Ø 330 mm discs and a specially prepared radial-pump master cylinder deliver next-level braking performance.
Kawasaki’s Advanced Electronics
Powered by Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modelling program and enhanced with input from a Bosch IMU, the Ninja ZX-10R’s cutting-edge electronics enhance the fun of piloting a high-performance supersport machine. Features like integrated Riding Modes, Electronic Cruise Control, and TFT instrumentation with turn-by-turn navigation capability add convenience and entertainment value, increasing street-riding enjoyment.
Building on WorldSBK-Proven Performance
With an engine and chassis designed for chasing lap times on the track, the Ninja ZX-10R offers a high level of circuit riding potential. To ensure it continues its race-winning ways, Kawasaki engineers fine-tuned the chassis geometry to fully capitalise on the enhanced aerodynamics.
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.
Light-Handling Chassis
Adding to the Ninja ZX-10R’s highly acclaimed control, cornering performance, and light handling, updates to the chassis geometry—tuned to match the effect of the new winglets—contribute to improved rear-wheel traction and enhanced secondary cornering force, which facilitates steering the bike from the rear when track riding.
Powerful 998 cm3 Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke In-Line F
The Ninja ZX-10R’s engine balances stunning power with manageability, offering linear power delivery right to its heady peak power. For maximum track-riding efficiency, great care was taken to ensure ideal engine manageability during all parts of the corner: getting off the throttle in corner entry, getting back on the throttle mid-corner, opening the throttle on corner exit. The new engine maintains the high performance of its predecessor while offering improved emissions.
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.
Styled for Aerodynamics
A prime example of form following function, the Ninja ZX-10R’s latest bodywork was developed with aerodynamic performance as a top priority. The redesigned front cowl features large winglets that significantly increase downforce at high speeds. Combined with updated chassis geometry, the new aerodynamic package enhances high-speed control, cornering performance, and overall circuit potential.
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. All-new sharp, aggressive bodywork creates a dynamic image that completes the next-generation Ninja styling.
