The mind-bending power of the Kawasaki supercharged hyper sport racer is now available for street use with the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike and Ninja H2 Carbon motorcycles. With its state-of-the-art Brembo brakes, advanced electronics, and a powerful 998cc inline four-cylinder engine, the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike and H2 Carbon epitomizes street performance. The Ninja H2 and Ninja H2 Carbon motorcycles are the epitome of street-legal hypersport.
They boast a lightweight trellis frame, compact superbike dimensions, aerodynamic bodywork, a rigid single-sided swingarm, a 998cc inline four-cylinder engine, and a unique supercharger. High-end Brembo Stylema brake calipers, Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC-9 mods), and incredibly flexible self-healing paint are all included in these versions. Also available in the cockpit is a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color instrument display with four customizable display modes and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity.
Bridgestone RS11 tires bring all that power and technology to the pavement. Designed as a unique, limited edition model, the Ninja H2 Carbon features striking, muscular, lightweight carbon fiber front bodywork with distinctive markings.
2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike – Features and Specs
Supercharged Power Unprecedented Power
The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike’s supercharged engine produces power like no other, resulting in incredible acceleration better than 2022 Kawasaki Ninja H2. The streets will never get used to hearing the deep rumble of a liter-class engine.
In-House designed
The centrifugal-type supercharger was chosen for its high rpm efficiency because it compresses air exceptionally well—up to 2.4 times atmospheric pressure—while generating minimal heat. Supercharger efficiency eliminates the need for a large, bulky intercooler to cool the compressed air. Because the supercharger was designed to match the engine, it could operate efficiently at settings that a standard supercharger could not.
High-Performance Component
The impeller’s intricate shape is 3D machined from forged aluminum for extreme durability and precision. With a rotational speed of 9.2 times that of the crankshaft, the impeller can reach around 130,000 rpm and deliver more than 200 liters of air per second to the engine.
Compact & Efficient
The planetary gear, designed using Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) Aerospace Co. technology, uses crankshaft power to drive the impeller to unusually high revolutions per minute.
Unmatched Power
The balanced supercharged engine provides excellent fuel efficiency and thrilling acceleration. To achieve this balance, a high compression ratio was necessary to increase the engine’s thermal efficiency. Advanced dog ring transmissions developed for high-performance racing engines enable seamless, precise, and quick shifting. In this system, lightweight dog rings engage the gears instead of moving the gears into place. On quick downshifts, a high-quality hydraulic assist and slipper clutch reduce wheel noise and self-adjust to maintain smooth operation.
Unparalleled in Every Way
The supercharged engine’s sheer power requires many high-performance components to deliver an incredibly smooth yet powerful ride.
Innovative & Intelligent
The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike has dual radial-mount opposed four-piston Brembo Stylma front calipers and semi-floating 330mm discs for powerful braking. It also uses Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) technology. The front brake levers and Brembo clutch were designed to resist wind force when traveling at high speeds. Each brand, logo, copyright, and registered trademark belongs to its owner.
Performance-Inspired
The lightweight cast aluminum wheels were developed using Kawasaki’s World Superbike team data and were intended exclusively for the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike. Star pattern 5-spoke wheels feature pinstripes for a distinguished appearance and maximum stiffness for high-power performance. Sport tires by Bridgestone Battlax RS11 help provide precise handling.
Smooth & Precise
The Öhlins TTX36 rear shock provides precise damping for improved traction, comfort, and feedback to the rider. The low-friction cartridge fork KYB AOS-II (air-oil separated) has excellent action. The first stroke is smooth and compliant and then gradually becomes wet as the stroke progresses. The front fork has entire preload and compression and rebound damping adjustments.
State-Of-The-Art
The Ninja H2 motorcycle now features key improvements integrating WorldSB Championship-proven electronics management technology from the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT). As a result, the rider gets accurate knowledge of the chassis orientation, which helps them adjust to different road riding conditions.
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
With this mechanism, riders can apply engine braking to their preference. When the system is engaged, the engine braking effect is reduced, resulting in less interference when riding on the circuit.
Kawasaki Quick Shifter
A contactless rapid shifter, which pairs well with the dog-ring transmission and powerful engine, makes quick gear changes for smooth acceleration possible. KQS also makes clutchless downshifts possible for fast and seamless acceleration.
Take Control From Your Phone
With RIDEOLOGY THE APP and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, you can connect to your bike like never before and check general settings, phone notifications, vehicle information, and ride logs. However, using the Histology app while driving is not recommended. RIDEOLOGY: The app should only be used when it is safe and the vehicle is not in motion.
Optimal Launch
In Triple Mode with Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM), engine output is electronically controlled to reduce front-end lift and rear-wheel slip, resulting in unparalleled acceleration from a stop. Thanks to KLCM, the rider can take off with the throttle.
Predictive & Adaptive
with the bosch inertial measurement unit (IMU), it is possible to measure inertia with six degrees of freedom. This state-of-the-art system makes precise chassis orientation awareness possible by adaptive and predictive electronics.
Stunning & Iconic
The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Sports Bike design exudes mighty power and is a work of practical beauty. Each angle aims to add performance and flair never before heard.
Intuitive & Innovative
The mirrors have airfoil cross-sections equipped with gurney flaps, designed by KHI Aerospace Company, which help create downforce. Another feature contributing to downforce is the chin spoiler on the upper cowl, which is hidden in its shape.
Strength & Flexibility
The trellis frame offers the perfect combination of stiffness and flexibility for an aggressive sports ride and the strength to handle the fantastic power of the supercharged engine.
Premium Quality
All non-carbon bodywork parts feature a unique top coat that allows some scratches to heal, allowing the paint to retain its best appearance even after regular wear and stress. Small, soft, and complex areas of the top coat act as a chemical spring to absorb impacts by creating a trampoline effect, enabling self-healing.
