KAWASAKI NINJA ZX 10R OVERVIEW
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a superbike available in India. It gets a 998cc BS6 engine with an Updated handlebar, and footpeg positions contribute to a more aggressive, circuit-focused riding position. This superbike weighs 207 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 17 litres. The updated features include full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled 4.3-inch TFT colour instrumentation with Kawasaki’s RIDEOLOGY THE APP.
The electronic rider aids comprise electronic cruise control, traction control system, launch control, cornering management function, power modes, riding modes, engine brake control, intelligent ABS, and a bidirectional quick-shifter. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R uses a BS6-compliant 998cc, in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 200bhp (210bhp with RAM Air) of maximum power at 13,200rpm and 114Nm of peak torque at 11,400rpm.
The engine links to a six-speed transmission. Kawasaki says that the Ninja ZX-10R’s gear ratios were idealized for circuit riding. The hardware on the 2021 model comprises an aluminium twin-spar frame, aluminium swingarm, Showa BFF (Balance Free Front Fork), and a horizontal back-link rear suspension with Showa BFRC (Balance Free Rear Cushion) lite.
The braking tasks are handled by dual, semi-floating 330mm discs with dual radial-mount, Brembo M50 monobloc, as opposed to 4-piston callipers at the front and a 220mm single rotor with a single-bore pin-slide calliper at the back. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R offers two colours – Lime Green and Metallic Diablo Black. The litre-class supersport model rivals the likes of the BMW S1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000R, and the Yamaha YZF-R1.
