Kawasaki Motors Japan has announced that the Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-10R KRT EDITION will be released on Friday, May 28, 2021, following their announcement at the online launch in November 2020.

The all-new Ninja ZX-10R offers even more racing potential and more fun on the street. The new Ninja ZX-10R bears the "River Mark" on its forehead as a testament to the combined technologies of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group.

The updated Ninja ZX-10R features an advanced aerodynamic cowl shape with integrated winglets for superior aerodynamic performance and downforce, combined with a small headlight for a next-generation Ninja look. In addition, the efficient cooling effect of the air-cooled oil cooler fed back from the factory machine brings high engine performance.

In addition, new advanced features include electronic cruise control and a TFT instrument panel with smartphone connectivity. The result is a motorcycle that is as fun to ride as it is capable of winning an unprecedented six consecutive Superbike World Championship titles.

Major changes from previous models

  • Streamlined, racy styling with improved aerodynamic performance of approximately 7 percent
  • Cowling with integrated winglets for approximately 17% more downforce
  • New lightweight and compact LED headlights
  • The ram air intake is more compact than before, but maintains the same efficiency as before due to the cowl shape.
  • Air-cooled oil cooler based on feedback from Superbike World Championship machines
  • Updated chassis geometry for improved cornering performance
  • New seat design for an aggressive riding position on the track
  • Newly shaped windshield with improved windproof performance
  • The cruise control reduces the burden on the rider when riding long distances and allows for a more comfortable touring experience.
  • Integrated Riding Mode for efficient setting of traction control and power delivery according to the situation
  • TFT instrument panel with smartphone connectivity
  • A special "River Mark" for his achievements in the Superbike World Championship.
