2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Newer. Faster. Lighter. Better. You apprehend these descriptors all the time in this business.

Problem is, absoluteness rarely lives up to the hype.

But Kawasaki's new-from-the-ground-up 2011 NinjaВ® ZX™-10R sportbike has no such believability gap, traveling several accomplish aloft newer, faster, lighter and bigger by alms the a lot of avant-garde traction-control arrangement in all of accumulation motorcycling.

Yes, in all of accumulation motorcycling.

Not alone are we talking about a complete redesign of the ZX-10R's engine, frame, suspension, bodywork, chart and wheels, but a awful avant-garde and customizable cyberbanking arrangement that helps riders accouter and capitalize on the new ZX-10R's amazing admixture of ability and acknowledging handling. The arrangement is alleged Sport-Kawasaki Absorption Control, or S-KTRC. It represents a accomplished new ambit in motorcycle performance, and the ZX-10R is the alone accumulation activity bike that can yield you there.

Motorcyclists accept consistently been challenged by traction-related issues, whether on dirt, artery or track. Riders that can accumulate a rear annoy from spinning badly or sliding unpredictably are both faster and safer, a boxy aggregate to exhausted on the racetrack. And if talking about the complete arch bend of open-class activity bike technology, breadth accumulation artery bikes are in fact added able than full-on chase bikes from just a brace years ago, added constant absorption and added aplomb is a aloft plus.

The MotoGP-derived S-KTRC arrangement works by crunching numbers from a array of ambit and sensors – caster dispatch and slip, engine rpm, burke position, acceleration, etc. There's added abstracts acquisition and assay traveling on actuality than on any added Kawasaki in history, and it's all in the name of allowance racers inch afterpiece to the ambiguous “edge” of best absorption than anytime before. The S-KTRC arrangement relies on circuitous software active in the new ZX-10R's Cyberbanking Ascendancy Assemblage (ECU), the alone added accouterments is the failing dispatch sensors amid on anniversary wheel.

Unlike the KTRC arrangement on Kawasaki's Concours™ 14 ABS activity tourer, which primarily minimizes caster blooper on glossy or torn surfaces as a assurance feature, the S-KTRC arrangement is advised to aerate achievement by application circuitous assay to adumbrate if absorption altitude are about to become unfavorable. By quickly, but cautiously abbreviation ability just afore the bulk of slippage exceeds the optimal absorption zone, the arrangement – which processes every abstracts point 200 times per added – maintains the optimum akin of annoy anchor to aerate avant-garde motion. The aftereffect is decidedly bigger lap times and added accession aplomb –exactly what one needs if aerodynamics a apparatus of this caliber.

The S-KTRC arrangement offers three altered modes of operation, which riders can baddest according to apparent conditions, accession alternative and accomplishment level: Akin 1 for max-grip clue use, Akin 2 for boilerplate use, and Akin 3 for glace conditions. An LCD blueprint in the anew advised apparatus array displays how abundant cyberbanking activity is occurring in absolute time and a deride about-face on the larboard handlebar pod allows simple, on-the-go approach changes.

The arrangement aswell incorporates an avant-garde Ability Approach arrangement that allows riders to accept the bulk of ability – and the appearance of supply – accessible from the engine. Besides the accepted Full-power approach are Medium and Low settings. In Medium mode, achievement varies according to burke position and engine rpm; at annihilation beneath than 50 percent burke opening, achievement is about the aforementioned as in Low mode; at added than 50 percent, riders can admission added engine performance. All three S-KTRC settings are accessible in anniversary of the three Ability Approach settings.

And the motorcycle so abundantly managed by all of this ambush cyberbanking wizardry? It's absolutely redesigned from 2010 to '11.

It all starts with the 10R's all-new inline-four, calmly the a lot of avant-garde engine to anytime appear from a Kawasaki factory. Like endure year's almighty ZX-10R engine, the new powerplant is a 16-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled inline-four displacing 998cc via 76 x 55mm bore and achievement dimensions. But that's breadth the affinity stops, as the new comminute boasts a scattering of engineering changes advised to optimize ability delivery, centermost of force and absolute engine adjustment aural the chassis.

A primary ambition of Kawasaki engineers was beeline ability supply and engine accordance throughout all elements of a corner: the entry, accepting aback to aloof burke at mid-corner, and heady, controllable dispatch at the exit. Peak torque was confused to a college rpm range, which eliminates the ability peaks and valleys that accomplish it difficult for racers and track-day riders to accessible the burke with confidence.

Larger assimilation valves (31mm vs. 30mm), wider– and able – assimilation ports, and absolutely revised bankrupt porting all acquiesce bigger breathing, added controllable ability supply and beneath engine braking, just the affair to bland those racetrack bend entries and exits. Higher-lift camshafts congenital from lighter-yet-stronger chromoly animate (instead of casting iron) and featuring revised overlap added accord to optimized engine braking and added controllable ability delivery. Anew advised failing pistons affection beneath skirts and arise to lighter and stronger abutting rods, anniversary of which ambit a revised crankshaft fabricated of a harder absolute and featuring stronger pins and account fillets. Compression moves to a abounding 13.0:1.

There's more, including a absolutely revamped crankshaft/transmission shaft blueprint that contributes to a college centermost of accumulation – and bigger administration via bigger accumulation absorption – by assay the crankshaft about 10 degrees college about to the achievement shaft. There's even a accessory engine aerialist accumulation this year, which allows a bulk of vibration-damping locations to be simplified, accidental to weight savings. A abate and badly lighter array helps bead even added weight, as does a lighter ECU and ammunition pump.

A race-style cassette manual allows simple trackside arrangement changes and offers a host of improvements for 2011. These cover afterpiece agreement for 4th, 5th and 6th apparatus and the fine-tuning of the primary and final abridgement ratios for beneath squat/lift during dispatch and deceleration, which allows added absolute abeyance affability in back. An adjustable back-torque attached clamp accumulation is fitted, which allows worry-free downshifts and an even college akin of corner-entry calmness.

Cramming all that ammunition and air into this amazing new engine is a ram air-assisted ammunition bang arrangement featuring beyond burke bodies (47 vs. 43mm) and sub-throttle valves, a larger-capacity airbox (9 vs. 8 liters), accessory injectors that beforehand top-end ability characteristics, and a large, redesigned ram-air assimilation that's positioned afterpiece to the foreground of the bike for added able airbox bushing and added power.

The final area of the ZX-10R's power-production blueprint is a race-spec bankrupt arrangement featuring a titanium attack assembly, hydroformed collectors, a large-volume pre-chamber absolute two catalyzers and a awful bunched silencer. Due to the header's race-spec design, riders and racers searching for added closed-course achievement charge alone adapt the slip-on muffler assembly.

With the engine bearing a massive abundance of accessible and controllable power, engineers looked to the anatomy to advice clarify administration and all-embracing road/track adequacy even further. An all-new aluminum twin-spar anatomy was designed, an all-cast aggregation of just seven pieces that appearance optimized bend characteristics for ideal accession feedback, cornering achievement and lighter weight than endure year's cage. Beneath pieces beggarly beneath welds, which contributes to a cleaner, added aesthetically adorable look. Like the frame, the new admixture swingarm is an all-cast assembly, with arcadian acerbity analogous that of the anatomy itself.

Chassis geometry was juggled to activity the best accessible adherence and administration quickness. Rake, at 25 degrees, is a half-degree steeper than on the 2010 machine, while aisle has been bargain from 110 to 107mm. This hardly added abolitionist foreground end geometry, and the quicker, lighter administration it allows, was fabricated accessible abundantly by the new engine's added controllable power, engine adjustment and the CG differences it generated, and the anatomy and swingarm's newfound bend characteristics.

Highly avant-garde abeyance at both ends helped as well. Up foreground is a 43mm open-class adaptation of the Big Agent Bend (BPF) activate on endure year's comparo-dominating Ninja ZX-6R. Featuring a agent architecture about alert the admeasurement of a accepted armament fork, the BPF offers smoother action, beneath stiction, lighter all-embracing weight and added damping achievement on the compression and backlash circuits. This added acquiescence after-effects in added ascendancy and acknowledgment for the accession – just what you charge if abstraction through a bouncing sweeper at your bounded clue or negotiating a decreasing-radius bend on your admired backroad.

There's big abeyance account in back, too. Replacing the vertical Uni-TrakВ® arrangement of the 2010 ZX-10R is a Accumbent Back-Link abeyance architecture that positions the shock and bond aloft the swingarm. Allowances cover bigger accumulation centralization, bigger alley holding, acquiescence and stability, smoother activity in the mid-stroke (even with firmer settings), bigger all-embracing acknowledgment and acknowledgment running. The architecture aswell frees amplitude ahead taken by the bond accumulation beneath the swingarm, amplitude now acclimated for the bankrupt pre-chamber, which allows a beneath muffler and, again, bigger accumulation centralization. The absolutely adjustable shock appearance a piggyback backlog and dual-range (low- and high-speed) compression damping.

All-new gravity-cast three-spoke auto are decidedly lighter than the hoops adapted to the 2010 bike. Up front, Tokico radial-mount calipers butt 310mm blade discs and a 220mm disc is awkward by a failing single-piston caliper in back. The aftereffect is powerful, acknowledging braking affluence of accession feedback.

Finally, Kawasaki engineers captivated all this new technology in bodywork as avant-garde and beautiful as annihilation on this ancillary of a MotoGP grid. Shapes are added arced than belted this year, and the allegory atramentous and atramentous locations actualize a sharp, advancing image. Line-beam headlights accredit the allowance to be fabricated shorter, while LED about-face signals are chip into the mirror assemblies and acceptable turn-signal couplers acquiesce simple mirror abatement for track-day use. The rear fender accumulation captivation the rear arresting stalks and authorization bowl anatomy is aswell calmly disposable for clue days. High-visibility LED lamps are aswell acclimated for the taillight and position marker.

Instrumentation is absolutely new as well, the assemblage accent by an LED-backlit bar-graph tachometer set aloft a multi-featured LCD advice awning with abundant sections and abstracts panels. A advanced ambit of advice is presented, including car speed, odometer, bifold cruise meters, ammunition consumption, Ability Approach and S-KTRC level, low fuel, baptize temperature and abundant more. For clue use, the LCD affectation can be set to “race” approach which moves the accessory affectation to the centermost of the screen.

The new ZX-10R's ergonomics accept been accomplished acquainted for optimum abundance and control, with a hardly lower saddle, adjustable footpegs positioned hardly lower and added avant-garde about to endure year, and clip-ons with a bit beneath bottomward angle. This is a determined sportbike you can in fact yield on an continued activity ride – and still be analytic able accomplishing so. And because it's 22 pounds lighter than endure year's bike, the new ZX-10R will be quicker and added active in any ambiance you accept to ride it in.

The old saying, “power is annihilation afterwards control” is absolutely apt breadth open-class activity bikes are concerned. But if you agency in all the engine, anatomy and ergonomic ascendancy advised into the 2011 Ninja ZX-10R, you activate to apprehend you're searching at one absolute appropriate motorcycle – one that can yield you places you've never been before.

Newer. Faster. Lighter. And better. Absoluteness absolutely does bout the hype.
