2019 Vulcan S ABS SE Kawasaki Cruisers – Features

Engine Features

The new 2019 Vulcan S ABS SE Kawasaki Cruisers was created with its unusual engine, chassis, suspension, and non-traditional cruiser styling. The Vulcan® S was also developed to deliver a high degree of fit and comfort to assist inspire riding confidence, which makes it particularly appealing to beginner riders.

The DOHC, 8-valve, liquid-cooled 649cc parallel twin with fuel injection produces smooth, responsive performance, particularly at low and medium rpm. The Ninja® 650-based engine has been returned to provide even more rider-friendly power characteristics, boosting beginning riders’ confidence.

The Vulcan S has a smooth start from a stop, smooth acceleration, and a pleasant acceleration pull. The quick acceleration helps merge and pass on highways.

Chassis

The chassis is thin and light, thanks in part to the engine’s compact design. Light, effortless handling is enhanced by a reassuringly low seat height and a slim shape that makes it simple to maneuver.

Make it easy to reach the ground as soon as the bike is raised off its side stand; the low overall weight becomes obvious, making the Vulcan S one of the most accommodating motorcycles for beginner riders available.

Frame

Because of the small engine, a slender, minimalist frame may be used, resulting in a narrow design in the knees and feet. The frame’s stiffness balance was optimized using 3D analysis, resulting in excellent handling qualities. For strength and lightness, it’s made of high-tensile steel. Because of the offset single-shock rear suspension’s design, the battery may be placed alongside rather than under the shock. This exquisite design allows for a lower seat height and a slimmer shape. The exhaust is maintained as close to the engine as feasible, allowing for a thin chassis and unrestricted access to the ground. The low weight and short center of gravity of the Vulcan S make it very agile, whether you’re riding, pushing from a parking place, or strolling beside the bike.

All components may be positioned near the bike centerline thanks to the slim backbone-style rear frame construction. A single beam made up of interconnected C-section components is employed instead of seat rails. The sleek form allows for a more comfortable seat to be built. The compact chassis is made possible by separate swingarm pivot plates. The lower half of the rear frame is held by two sleeves through which the swingarm bolt goes at the swingarm pivot. It allows for a thinner design between the rider’s feet, which makes reaching the ground easier.

The rigid-mount engine is a stressed part that contributes to the bike’s exceptional handling and stability and the frame’s idealized rigidity balance. The design of the structure adds to the light, natural handling. The footpegs are set relatively high so that they do not readily contact the ground, allowing for stress-free cornering. The wheelbase has been optimized for light handling and a more excellent riding experience.

Suspension

The ride comfort is prioritized in both the front and rear suspension settings. The offset laydown single-shock rear suspension has linkage to allow for a longer stroke and improved riding comfort.

The bike’s compact shape is aided by the rear suspension configuration, allowing room for a large-volume silencer beneath the engine. The preload on the rear shock may be adjusted in seven different ways to fit the rider’s size and payload. A two-piston caliper grips the large 300mm front disc, while a single-piston caliper grips the 250mm rear disc. The brakes provide plenty of stopping force. Customers seeking a higher level of reassurance in braking performance may choose vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), which aids braking in specific scenarios. The lightweight ABS unit is hidden behind the rear shock, ensuring a sleek structure under the seat.

Low seat height

Riders can easily place their feet on the ground when stopped, thanks to the low 27.8-inch seat height, which is one of the most critical criteria in feeling comfortable on a motorbike.

Slim chassis design

Because there is no cylinder between the rider’s legs like a traditional V-twin cruiser, the Vulcan S’ parallel-twin engine allows for a narrower gap between the rider’s legs. The slim, backbone-style rear frame aids the simple reach to the ground.

ERGO Fit™ adjustability

The location of the footpegs may be changed to one of three options: mid-reach, one inch forward, or one inch back. The Ergo-Fit shortened reach auxiliary handlebar brings the handle grips closer to the rider by 1.7 inches. Three different Ergo-FitTM accessory seats modify the rider’s position: Reduced reach accommodates shorter riders by bringing them closer to the tank and controls; mid-reach is common for average-sized riders, and extended reach gives a more extended riding position for larger riders. The brake and clutch levers may be adjusted to the rider’s liking and hand size.

Comfort

The seat is built with substantial cushioning to provide a large area and good hip support for city riding and short journeys. To decrease vibration, the seat bracket is rubber-mounted. Footpegs are positioned for foot-forward control, resulting in a comfortable cruiser riding stance. To lessen vibration transferred via the handle grips, the handlebar is rubber mounted. To further decrease vibration, the rider’s footpeg stays are rubber mounted. The Vulcan S’s unusual appearance provides a sleek, contemporary alternative to the typical cruiser image for riders who choose not to follow the pack.

Styling Elements

A distinctive, eye-catching design combines a curved, flowing shape with a robust and long-and-low posture and contemporary components. The Vulcan S’s new, original appearance includes an inverted triangle headlight. The center of the tapered handlebar is thicker, adding to the handlebar’s robust look. The gasoline tank is designed in the shape of a teardrop, giving it a cruiser feel. The rear fender is intended to hug the steering wheel as tightly as possible, giving the bike a tiny cruiser look. The offset laydown rear shock helped to make the design practicable. The bike’s current appearance is enhanced by the LED taillight, which contributes to the bike’s compact tail design. The single-seat enhances the low rear fender design. The radiator shrouds, cylinder head cover, and swingarm pivot cover all have metal trim that contributes to the high-quality look.

Frame

The Vulcan S’s individuality is defined by its elegant pipe perimeter frame. Instead of covering the frame, the bike’s bodywork emphasizes it. The frame, rear suspension, and swingarm are all designed to form a continuous line from the bike’s front to the rear hub. The rear single-shock suspension with offset laydown is a distinguishing stylistic feature that contributes to the trendsetting design. The D-shaped cross-section of the swingarm gives it a pipe-like look that complements the frame and adds to the overall high-quality appearance. The bike’s lengthy wheelbase complements its cruiser-style long-and-low appearance. The key cylinder is situated in front of the gasoline tank, allowing for a very clean cockpit. The position also makes it easier to get access and operate the ignition.

Wheels

The cast wheels’ original design employs five-spoke pairs to give a powerful cruiser-style look.

Instrumentation

The stacked instrument cluster is compact and straightforward to see, and it complements the bike’s overall style. White LED backlights on the analog-style tachometer and multi-function dual-window LCD screen provides good visibility at night. The gear indicators on the instrument panel show the rider the gear position at a glance, making it easier to stay informed. The key cylinder is situated in front of the gasoline tank, allowing for a very clean cockpit. The position also makes it easier to get access and operate the ignition.
