The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR is all set to be launched in India soon! While it has taken Kawasaki quite a long time to bring the motorcycle to our market, the imminent launch will give supersport motorcycle fans, especially of Team Green, reason to rejoice.
The Ninja ZX-4RR is an out and out supersport and what makes it quite special is its engine. It is a 399cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four that makes 76bhp at 14,000rpm and 37.6Nm at 12,000rpm. But the stat that takes the cake is that this engine revs all the way up to 16,000rpm! This is a proper screamer and one can imagine the sound it’ll make. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and it has a bi-directional quickshifter and slipper clutch as standard.
As for the ZX-4RR’s hardware, the bike employs a steel trellis frame that’s suspended by a preload adjustable, 37Nm Showa SFF-BP front fork and a gas charged monoshock that can be adjusted for compression, rebound and preload . Braking duties are taken care of by a twin, 290mm discs at the front and 220mm disc at the rear. The bike tips that scales at 189kg (kerb).
Moving on to the features of the bike, it has all-LED lights, four ride modes (Sports, Road, Rain and Rider), two power modes and a three-step traction control system. One can adjust the settings of the above mentioned systems using the 4.3-inch TFT instrument cluster.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR’s design is also going to be one of its big attractions. It shares its design cues with the ZX-25R and looks quite aggressive. The twin-LED headlights, the ram air intake that sits above it, and the shape of the fairings as well as tail section are what make the ZX-4RR look good, not to mention the KRT green that’ll make it hard to miss on our streets or on a racetrack.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR will be brought to India in limited numbers only and some Kawasaki dealers have already begun accepting bookings. As for the pricing, expect it to cost about a lakh more than the Ninja ZX-4R that is priced at Rs 8.49 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.
