Ninja (Ninja) is Japan’s unique charm term. Mysterious ninja, combined with the magic of the ninja, the core purpose and meaning, is anything to complete the mission. Kawasaki Ninja arm of the same purpose and only one task, it is the most rapid and most efficient running, sports become the “lead goose”!
In 1982, Kawasaki’s first liquid-cooled, DOHC16-valve, four-cylinder engine was born. Although this engine displacement and Z1 10 years ago, quite, but more advanced technology, the maximum power of 84.5kW / 9500rpm, full upgrade 11kW, became the most powerful production motorcycle. Meanwhile, Kawasaki engineers redesign diamond type frame, the main frame with high tensile steel, aluminum alloy square tube seat rail, while accompanied by automatic adjustment of the damping system (the AVDS) and UNI-TRAK fork damper monocular to create a strong chassis to control power. In addition, the new shroud through a rigorous wind tunnel testing, effectively reducing wind resistance, drag coefficient of just 0.33.
The end result is listed first generation 1984 Ninja Ninja 900 (also known as GPZ900R). Despite the power significantly enhanced, but the weight GPZ900R but declines and the dry weight is lighter than the Z1 2kg, outstanding acceleration performance! According to tests, GPZ900R maximum speed of more than 250km / h, 0-400m acceleration takes only 10.552 seconds, deserved to be “speed king” a new generation. TT on the Isle of Man contest held during the year, the first generation of ninja limelight, one stroke swept the championship, runner-up, second runner-up, the strength of the strong one can imagine!
Since then, the “Ninja” began the process of evolution, technology continues to improve, the performance continued to strengthen, with great strength and excellent maneuverability in the world within range He won the group after group of “ninja control”! After Especially in recent years, Kawasaki in the World Superbike Championship riding high, won the annual WSBK rider champion in 2013, has dominated the 2015,2016,2017,2018 season “four consecutive years,” limelight for a time no two! And to help in Kawasaki in the World Superbike Championship Rounds, set hehe exploits, is the latest generation of ninja NinjaZX-10R. Until recently, Kawasaki released the latest in the country’s ninja NinjaZX-10R SE version is priced at 289,000 yuan.
Let us look super power by 2018 ZX-10R SE of it! Ninja armed liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine displacement of 998 cc. In order to reduce losses, Kawasaki engineers significantly reduced by 20 percentage inertial mass of the crankshaft speed becomes faster, better throttle response! Further, using an offset crank structure, i.e. the position relative to the crankshaft, near the center of the 2mm bore to the exhaust side of the cylinder, so that the maximum combustion pressure, the piston suffered reduced transverse pressure, further reducing losses.
Zheke inline four-cylinder has a strong power, maximum torque of 114Nm / 11200rpm, the maximum power is reached 149.3kW / 13500rpm, 11kW improved over the previous generation; and when the forced induction system startup, the maximum power as well as further surge of up to 156.8kW / 13500rpm, people feel excited!
At the same time, ZX-10R SE blend of leading electronic intelligence equipment from the track, to help in the rider more control over power. In help in the start control mode (KLCM), sports traction control system (S-KTRC), the power selection mode and other intelligent devices, the rider to achieve a safer driving; Kawasaki Patent dynamic simulation program Bosch IMU complementary automatically sensing information 6 dimensions accurately determine the orientation of the chassis is located; intelligent lock braking system (of KIBS) matching the highest standard M50 Brembo aluminum calipers monomers, provide a strong and stable braking force rider ……
to further highlight its track genes, ZX-10R SE KQS system is also equipped with a (bidirectional fast lifting gear) allows engine speed is above 2500rpm, the clutch can be carried out quickly without having to lifting gear operation, so that Knight has made a head start on the track against the clock.
ZX-10R SE hub Marchesini jointly developed with multi-spoke wheel 7 to wheel forging, lighter and more robust. Reduce the unsprung mass of the rider while allowing more light and flexible. High-speed cornering also reduces the inertia generated, so that the vehicle more stable.
ninja sharp chassis is even more powerful, and KECS semi-active suspension system is the biggest highlight. By Showa damper installed in the information sensor and an inertial measurement unit, the semi-active suspension system can be set according to the road conditions and driving conditions rider to millisecond high frequency automatic adjustment of the respective damping. Therefore, ZX-10R SE can provide a wide range of desirable suspension performance, whether it is strong damping required intense athletics track, or roads, streets damping required for traveling comfort, this KECS can be made random, let riders best of both worlds with ease!
