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.

A 10-litre airbox improves engine response and increases low- to mid-range power while a large surface area, low resistance air filter also contributes to engine performance.

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

Front Brembo® brakes feature a pair of massive 330mm semi-floating discs that deliver superb braking force and brake feel. The rotors have a grooved outer edge for effective heat dissipation. The brake system features dual radial-mount Brembo M-50 cast aluminum monobloc calipers, Brembo’s highest grade mass production brake calipers.

The Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycle was designed with aerodynamic elements that use wind pressure to its advantage. The upper cowl reduces drag and provides optimal wind deflection so that the racer can change position more smoothly at track speeds. Strategically-placed vents in the upper cowl help prevent negative pressure build-up in cockpit to reduce helmet buffeting. Vented front fender directs airflow to the radiator for improved engine cooling.

Showa's advanced 43mm Balance Free Fork (BFF) brings state-of-the-art WorldSBK racing suspension technology to a mass production supersport motorcycle on the Ninja® ZX™-10R. The benefits include increased ride comfort, enhanced braking balance, increased front-end feel and independently adjustable compression and rebound damping. The Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension featuring a compact and lightweight Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock provide superb comfort and sport performance.

This system allows riders to set engine braking according to preference.

The KQS system facilitates acceleration by allowing clutchless upshifts and downshifts while on the track. KQS can also be used on the street above 2,500 rpm.

The Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycle has multiple power modes allowing you to set power delivery to suit conditions and/or preference.

Hybrid predictive/feedback-type evolution of the highly sophisticated traction control system helps racers push harder by maximizing acceleration. Five modes enable a greater range of feeling for specific track conditions and riding preferences.

Kawasaki’s supersport-grade high-precision multi-sensing ABS brake assistance system uses high-precision control to modulate brake pressure during sport riding.

Input from the IMU enables cornering management which assists riders in tracing their intended line through the corners on the track.

Specially developed Öhlins electronic steering damper provides just the right amount of damping based on vehicle speed and degree of acceleration or deceleration.
