Engine
Supercharged engine perfected to greater heights The 998cm3, liquid-cooled, four-stroke inline four-cylinder supercharged engine has improved efficiency thanks to the application of know-how from the development of the balanced supercharged engine of the highly fuel-efficient Ninja H2 SX. Major components such as the air filter, intake chamber, and spark plug derive directly from the H2 SX to achieve 231 PS.

Chassis

• Brembo Stylema monobloc caliper From the street monobloc caliper lineup of Italy’s Brembo, Kawasaki chose the latest and greatest, the Stylema, for the front brake. The Stylema is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the M50, while also improving braking performance.
