2015 Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-10R ABS 30th Anniversary ABS

Simply put, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R motorcycle is a champion. It has been a constant fixture on the podium of the World Superbike circuit in recent years as helmed by Kawasaki Racing Team’s 2013 World Champion Tom Sykes, consistently proving its liter-class supremacy over the competition. The ZX-10R has also dominated premier road races, with an open-class win at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb alongside a podium spot in the Isle of Man TT Superstock class. Packed full of racing-inspired advanced electronics and a hair-raising high-output engine, the Ninja ZX-10R is a sophisticated thriller.

• Engine

The 998cc in-line four-cylinder engine of the 2015 ZX-10R features linear power delivery leading up to potent peak performance. To make power manageable for racers, peak torque exists higher in the power band so it’s easier to accelerate sooner out of a corner. Fed by the Ram Air intake and dual fuel injectors, the 47mm main- and oval sub-throttle valves create refined power delivery. The main injectors contribute to low- and mid-range power, while the secondary injectors supplement high rpm operation.

• Traction Control

The highly sophisticated Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) system is inspired by the technology Kawasaki developed while racing in MotoGP. The system monitors throttle position, engine rpm, wheel speed & slippage, and acceleration via data gathered from both wheels. It uses this data to optimize traction and adjust power to the rear wheel to maintain maximum acceleration. A flick of a thumb switch is all it takes to choose between three levels of traction control so you can find a mode that suits your riding style and the conditions of the road.
