Kawasaki Eliminator blending style, comfort, and performance in a versatile freestyle motorcycle. With its sleek, long-and-low design, it stands out in the city, while the low seat, natural grip positioning, and perfect good foot placement ensure all-day comfort. Powered by a Ninja-based Parallel Twin engine that offers smooth torque for city rides. Lightweight handling and a stable chassis make every journey stress-free, whether commuting or exploring. The Eliminator redefines freedom—hop on, feel free, and JUST RIDE.
The Eliminator’s Parallel Twin engine offers strong low-end torque, greatly benefiting low-speed control and manoeuvrability, and contributing to low-stress everyday riding. At highway speeds, its strong power and linear response make its Ninja lineage apparent.
Inspired by the Ninja 400’s high-performance trellis frame, the high-tensile steel construction achieves the Eliminator’s long and low design and low seat height while maintaining the active performance potential of its sportier brother. Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight.
A long and low design with elegant proportions is created by the vertically thin fuel tank and the horizontal lines evident from the head pipe to the original tail. The design of the impressive, mid-class sized body suggests a balance of active performance and composure. The round headlight and twin-shock rear suspension add to the authentic motorcycle style.
Compact, round, all-digital LCD instrument panel offers a modern touch that complements the Eliminator’s authentic style.
Bluetooth technology built into the instrument panel enables riders to connect to their bike wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience.
A number of functions are available:
- Vehicle Info: information such as fuel gauge, odometer, distance (odometer)-based maintenance reminder, etc can be viewed via the smartphone.
- Riding Log: GPS route information as well as vehicle running information can be logged and viewed via the smartphone.
- Telephone notices: when a call or mail is received by the smartphone, this is indicated on the instrument display.
Tuning – General Settings: general instrument display settings (such as preferred units, time, 12h/24h format, etc) can be adjusted via the smartphone.
