The braking system features the dual radial-mount Brembo M50 cast aluminum Monobloc calipers, which is the Brembo’s highest grade mass production brake calipers. The Brembo radial-pump master cylinder and the reservoir are calibrated in such a way that it needs little lever movement to achieve strong brake force. The all-new stainless-steel braided brake lines contribute to the direct feel at the liver.
Styling
The all-new 2017 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS SuperSport Bike features the new design and stylish bodywork. Its upper cowl is perfectly designed to reduce the air drag plus it provides an optimal wind deflection so that rider can change the position more smoothly at track speeds.

The vented front fender directs the airflow to the radiator for maximum engine cooling. The seat design is carefully designed for an ultimate comfort. The overall design is quiet similar to the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS.
Technology

It provides acceleration along longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes plus roll rate and the pitch is being measured. The ECU uses the Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software to calculate the yaw rate. This system enables the predictive and adaptive electronics for accurate chassis orientation awareness. There are three modes of KLCM especially designed to help the racers to optimize acceleration from launch. It manages the output of the engine to prevent any wheel spin plus it minimizes the front end lift. The all-new KEBC system lets the rider to set the engine braking according to the preference. The KQS helps to facilitate acceleration by enabling the rider to upshift gears with the throttle wide open without any use of the clutch. There is three power mode available in power technology i.e. Full mode, Middle mode, and Low mode. In handling mode, the S-KTRC uses the hybrid predictive/feedback-type evolution of the highly sophisticated traction control system. This system enables the races to push harder my maximizing the acceleration. There are five modes, which enables the rider for greater range of riding experience. This sports bike features the high-precision multi-sensing brake ABS brake assistance system. It uses a high-precision control to modulate the braking pressure during sports riding. The cornering management function assists the riders in tracing their intended line through each corner on the track. The all-new specially designed and developed Ohline electric damper offers the right amount of damping based on vehicle speed and degree of acceleration and deceleration.
