MODEL
TECHNOLOGY
ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUCTH
When excessive Engine braking occurs, the Slipper cam comes into play as a result of rapid downshifts (or unintentional downshifts), forcing the clutch hub and plate to operate apart. This reduces pressure on the clutch plate to reduce back-torque and helps prevent rear tire slamming and skidding. This racing feature is very useful when sport riding or riding on the track.
ECONOMICAL RIDING INDOCATOR
When fuel consumption is low at a certain speed and fuel efficiency is high, the ‘ECO’ mark remains on, and fuel consumption can be reduced. Effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by type, but paying attention to the conditions that cause the ‘ECO’ mark to appear can help minimize negative impacts on the environment.
ELETRONIC THROTTLE VALVES
Kawasaki’s electronic throttle actuation system allows the ECU to control the volume of fuel (via the fuel injectors) and air (via the throttle valves) delivered to the engine. Ideal fuel injection and throttle valve position result in smooth, natural engine response and ideal engine output. This system also contributes significantly to reduced emissions.
KQS (KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER)
Designed to help riders maximize their acceleration on the track with clutchless upshifts, at full throttle, KQS detects that the shift lever has been moved and sends a signal to the ECU to cut the ignition so that the next gear can be engaged without using the clutch. During deceleration the system automatically controls engine speed so that the next downshift can be performed without operating the clutch.
KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control)
KTRC, Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system that enhances sport riding performance and provides service when facing slippery surfaces with confidence. Various modes can be selected by the rider (The number of modes varies depending on the type of motorcycle) according to the rider’s choice and level of disturbance
Power Mode Comparison
Kawasaki types equipped with several Power Modes offer a choice of engine power delivery that can be easily selected to suit conditions or riding choices. In addition to full power mode, there is also a choice of one (Low) or two (Mid-low) where maximum power is limited and throttle response is lighter.
Smartphone Connectivity
Advanced technology that can connect riders with their motorcycles wirelessly. Using the ‘RIDEOLOGY THE APP’ application that can be downloaded via smartphone. Vehicle information can be viewed on the smartphone such as Odometer, Fuel Gauge, Maintenance Schedule, etc. Rider logs can also be viewed through this application.
Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension
Kawasaki’s Traditional Uni-Track rear suspension is mounted vertically unlike the Horizontal Back-link rear suspension which has a nearly horizontal shock unit. Kawasaki’s original suspension setup places the shock unit very close to the bike’s center of gravity resulting in mass centralization.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
Kawasaki ABS system has front and rear wheel sensors to constantly monitor wheel speed. If information from both sensors indicates wheel lock, the ABS ECU directs the pump in the ABS unit to regulate brake fluid pressure (releasing and reapplying pressure to regain traction), ABS Ensures greater riding pleasure.
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelegence Anti-lock brake system)
Kawasaki developed KIBS to take into account the special handling characteristics of supersport motorcycles, ensuring highly efficient braking with minimal intuition during sport riding. It is the first mass-produced braking system to link the ABS ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and the Engine ECU.
SUPERCHARGED POWER
Pure Dominance
Ninja H2 is a streetbike with a 231 PS supercharged engine that is capable of producing unprecedented power and impressive acceleration. Its roaring sound will be unforgettable.
SUPERCHARGED POWER
Chosen for its high-rpm performance, the Ninja H2’s centrifugal supercharger is highly efficient at compressing air (at atmospheric pressures above 2.4x), while minimizing heat. Thanks to the efficiency of its supercharger, the bike no longer requires a large and heavy intercooler. The supercharger is specifically designed for the Ninja H2 engine, providing more efficient handling in a variety of road conditions, compared to other conventional superchargers.
SUPERCHARGED POWER
The complex shape of the impeller is 3D machined from forged aluminum for high precision and durability. The impeller rotates at 9.2x crankshaft speed, reaching speeds of up to almost 130,000 rpm, pumping more than 200 liters of air per second into the engine.
SUPERCHARGED POWER
Compact & Efficient
Designed using technology from aerospace company Kawasaki Heavy Industries., Ltd (KHI), its compact planetary gear train delivers power from the crankshaft to drive the impeller to high rpm with minimal power loss.
SUPERCHARGED POWER
Unmatched Power
Filled with technology developed specifically for supercharged engines, the entire engine is designed to accommodate the higher air pressure of the supercharger while ensuring high reliability with an output of over 300 PS from the closed-course Ninja H2R. In fact, apart from the camshaft, head gasket and clutch, the engine unit is exactly the same as the one designed for the Ninja H2R. Designed for high-performance racing engines, the premium dog-ring transmission enables smooth, precise and fast gear changes. Rather than sliding gears into place, the gears in this configuration stay in place, with the lightweight dog-rings moving to engage the gears. The high-quality hydraulic Assist & Slipper offers a light lever touch while helping to minimise wheel hop that can occur with fast gear changes.
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
State-of-the-art
The key is bringing the proven electronic management technology of the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) WorldSBK championship to the Ninja H2. This results in precise chassis orientation awareness that aids the rider’s ability to adapt to a variety of typical riding conditions and scenarios.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
The Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) memungkinkan pemantauan inersia sepanjang 6 Degrees of Freedom. Sistem tingkat berikutnya ini memungkinkan elektronik prediktif dan adaptif untuk kesadaran orientasi sasis yang tepat.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
Capable & Efficient
This system allows the rider to adjust engine braking according to preference. When the system is activated, the engine braking effect is reduced, thus reducing disruption when riding on the circuit.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
Quick & Seamless
Complementing the powerful engine and dog-ring transmission, the contactless type quick shifter enables fast up and down shifts for smooth acceleration and quick, seamless deceleration.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
Take Control from your Phone
Bluetooth Smartphone connectivity (using RIDEOLOGY THE APP*) connects you to your motorcycle like never before, allowing you to view vehicle info, trip logs, phone notifications and general settings.
*RIDEOLOGY THE APP is not intended for use while operating the vehicle. Only use RIDEOLOGY THE APP when the vehicle is not in operation and it is safe to do so.
ADVANCED ELECTRONIC
Kawasaki TRaction Control
While many competitive traction control systems react to wheel slippage, KTRC, enhanced with feedback from the IMU, predicts conditions and acts before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction. Nine modes allow the rider to select the level of KTRC intervention while riding. KTRC can also be turned off completely.
STYLING
INTUTITIVE & INNOVATIVE
Designed by KHI Aerospace Company, the fixed mirrors have an airfoil cross-section with Gurney flaps that contribute to downforce generation. A chin spoiler on the upper cowl also serves to disguise the shape, further contributing to downforce production.
STYLING
Premium Quality
Kawasaki’s genuine silver mirror paint was developed specifically for motorcycles. The highly reflective, shiny, glass-like metallic appearance adds to the bike’s stunning design. In the shade, the paint appears black, but once in the sunlight, its highly reflective surface takes on the surrounding scenery. A special topcoat on all non-carbon bodywork allows certain types of scratches to repair themselves, allowing the paint to maintain a high-quality finish through normal wear*. Self-healing is achieved through microscopic soft and hard segments within the topcoat that act like chemical springs, creating a trampoline effect that absorbs impact.
STYLING
The analogue style tachometer is equipped with a high-quality full-colour TFT LCD display, allowing information to be displayed graphically. The high-quality full-colour display ensures a high level of visibility. In addition to the digital speedometer and gear position indicator, display functions include odometer, dual trip meters, current mileage, average mileage, fuel consumption, bank angle display and max bank angle recording function, average speed, total time, coolant temperature, boost indicator, boost temperature (intake air chamber), clock and Economical Driving Indicator.
