Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R [2021] Summary

The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R gets styling updates in the form of new colour options. This litre-class supersport model from the Japanese manufacturer is now available in two new colour options – Lime Green and Metallic Diablo Black.

The design and the feature list, on the other hand, remains similar to the previous version. The motorcycle draws styling cues from the company’s supercharged model, the Ninja H2. The aggressive and radical design is complemented by improved aerodynamics that has been achieved by incorporating a large central air intake and winglets. Kawasaki claims that the setup delivers 17 per cent improved downforce.

The feature list on the motorcycle comprises an LED headlight, an LED taillight, and a full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. The electronic rider aids include cruise control, five-stage traction control, launch control, cornering ABS, engine brake control, and three riding modes with four customisable modes.

The mechanical specifications retain the 998cc, inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 200bhp of power and 114Nm of peak torque. The Ram Air setup boosts maximum power output to 210bhp. The anchoring setup includes Brembo-sourced hardware while the shock absorption tasks are handled by Showa suspension.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R rivals the likes of Ducati Panigale V4, BMW S1000RR, and the Aprilia RSV4.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R [2021] Review

  • Good Things

    • One of the most affordable superbikes in the country
    • 1000cc engine churns out excellent performance
    • Equipped with top-spec electronics
  • Could be Better

    • Riding position is aggressive for city use
    • Expensive to maintain

BikeWale's Take

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is currently one of the most affordable litre-class supersport motorcycles in the market. It offers a potent and refined engine along with good braking hardware. Nevertheless, being track-focused, the ZX-10R isn't a very city-friendly motorcycle and is also high on maintenance.

      I like this bike look , it's speed or nothing else those who want to buy superbike go for it .I have no words to tell about this bike . My favourite one bike Kawasaki is the one of the famous company in the world of superbike. Those who can afford go for it. The Kawasaki ninja is a name given to several series of Kawasaki sport bikes that started with the 1984 gpz900r.

      Excellent bike, totally satisfied

      2 years ago


      Subhadeep Das

      This bike is excellent to ride. Performance like a beast, road presence is also great. I have been riding this bike from past 7 months, I haven't faced any issues with service and maintenance. Thumbs up to kawasaki for giving this type of service to their respective customers . I can't get great mileage from this beast. The average is 20 to 22 in city, and on highways you can expect about 26 for sure. So this is my opinion for this bike after riding 5890 plus kms that I am very satisfied with this bike. What's your opinion guys?
