EVERYDAY USABILLITY & SUPERCHARGED ACCELERATIOIN

Achieving an engine that could deliver superb fuel efficiency and gratifying acceleration at street-riding speeds started with increasing the compression ratio in order to increase the engine’s thermal efficiency.  From there, the supercharger, combustion chamber, cams, and intake and exhaust components were all redesigned.  The result is a versatile engine character that enables relaxed long-distance riding, easy manageability at slow speeds, and – when called upon – the exhilarating acceleration that only a supercharged engine can deliver.

NEW TRLLIS FRAME

The Ninja H2 SX features an innovative trellis frame like the Ninja H2, but to be able to accommodate a passenger and luggage, the frame needed to be completely redesigned.  Its 195 kg payload is comparable to that of the Ninja 1000.  And increased rigidity and a longer wheelbase deliver the stability for riding at highway speed with panniers, while a 30o steering angle facilitates low-speed manoeuvres

FUEL EFFICIENCY

The Ninja H2 SX’s superb fuel efficiency represents a significant increase over the supercharged engine of the Ninja H2, and is on par with that of the Ninja 1000 and Versys 1000.  Combined with its 19 litre fuel tank, this gives the Ninja H2 SX a substantial cruising range.

FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

Supersport-sourced suspension delivers a combination of ride comfort and sport performance ideal for street riding and touring.  Both front and rear suspension are fully adjustable, allowing riders to make adjustments to suit riding style and conditions. And a remote rear preload adjuster greatly facilitates making changes to accommodate a passenger and/or luggage.

CORNERING MANAGEMENT

Using feedback from the compact Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) that gives a real-time picture of chassis orientation, KCMF monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner – from entry, through the apex, to corner exit – modulating brake force and engine power to facilitate smooth transition from acceleration to braking and back again, and to assist riders in tracing their intended line through the corner. On the Ninja H2 SX, KCMF oversees the following systems : 

-KTRC (including traction and wheel lift control)

-KIBS (including pitching and corner braking control)

-Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
