And, just like that, Kawasaki’s brought their iconic Ninja ZX-10R and Z900 back for the new model year, just in time for August’s moto markets!
For this season, we’re told by Kawasaki that the ZX-10R sports new, integrated winglets (got to keep up with “fast fashion”), as well as the neat addition of an air-cooled oil cooler.
The latter aids in perking up the same power platform as last year: A 998cc inline four-cylinder heart, present in both the ZX-10R and the Z900.
Expect both bike ranges to come with the option of ABS, with the following perks as standard per bike:
2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
- Suspension: Showa Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) and Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock at the rear
- Brakes: Brembo radial mounted monobloc calipers at the front, single-piston at the rear
- Bosch IMU
- Rideology app connectivity
- Electronic aids in the form of Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF), Sport-Kawasaki TRaction Control (S-KTRC), Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM), Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS and present only on the ABS models), Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper, Electronic cruise control and Power Modes
- Graphics inspired by the latest WorldSBK efforts for KRT Edition
2024 Kawasaki’s Ninja Z900
- Suspension: 41mm inverted fork with adjustable rebound + spring load damping at the front (and a Horizontal back-link at the rear)
- Brakes: Dual four-piston calipers at the front, single-piston clipper at the rear
- Rideology app connectivity
- Electronic aids in the form of Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC), two Power Modes, and a series of integrated Riding Modes
