Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR

Disponibile solo in lingua originale

RR PERFORMANCE

Joining the already formidable Ninja ZX-10R is a new variation that will help riders get even closer to potential offered by Kawasaki’s World Superbike Champion machine. Designed to win races on the national level in standard trim, the new Ninja #zx10rr excludes any equipment unnecessary to quick lap times. The machine is also suited to street use. In the capable hands of #kawasaki test riders, the Ninja #zx10rr is approximately 1-2 seconds faster than the standard model at Kawasaki’s development test track, Autopolis Circuit.

CHANGES FROM STANDARD ABS MODEL

Race-Ready Engine

A number of changes offering enhanced performance and increased reliability care of feedback from Kawasaki’s racing efforts in the Superbike World Championship facilitate converting the Ninja #zx10rr into a race machine.

* Modified cylinder head provides the clearance to accommodate race-kit high-lift cams (please see below).

* Tappets based on feedback from Kawasaki’s WSB racing efforts feature a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which facilitates mid/long-distance engine break-in, and offers reduced mechanical loss and increased performance for a race-tuned engine (i.e. tuned for high performance).

* Reinforced, high-rigidity crankcase offers increase reliability and performance for a race-tuned engine. The connecting passageways between the cylinders are narrower and wall thickness increased in that area.

Specially Designed Marchesini Forged Wheels

* 7-spoke multi-directional forged aluminium wheels jointly developed with Marchesini contribute to lighter handling – especially when changing direction. They offer a balance of high rigidity and a significantly reduced moment of inertia (thanks to a design that centralises mass at the hubs). Their machined finish contributes to their high-quality appearance. (These Marchesini wheels can also be fit on standard Ninja ZX-10R models. Parts necessary for compatibility, such as front brake discs and speed sensor ring, will be available via accessory kits.)

High Performance Tyres

* The Ninja #zx10rr is fit with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres. The high- performance tyres greatly contribute to quicker lap times.

Optimised Suspension Settings

* Revised to match the Ninja ZX-10RR’s single-seat specification and new wheels and tyres, new front and rear suspension settings ensure smooth weight transfer during deceleration and acceleration on the circuit. Pitching is kept at a manageable level, resulting in composed behaviour. Complementing the new Pirelli tyres, the suspension settings contribute to the bike’s quicker lap times. (Because these changes were accomplished by simply revising initial pre-set positions – a testament to the high performance offered by the Showa Balance Free Front Fork and BFRC lite rear shock – the same changes can be made on standard Ninja ZX-10R models.)

KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)

* Updated KQS system allows both clutchless upshifts and downshifts, contributing to race-ready performance. (On the standard model, clutchless downshifts are only possible with the race kit ECU.)
