Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle – Specifications
Power
The all-new Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle features the street-bike supercharged engine offering an unprecedented power for outstanding acceleration. This is the 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine, which is designed to accommodate an extreme air pressure created by a supercharger. It ensures the better output with strong torque and acceleration. The cast pistons are used instead of forged, which are light in weight and strong and they have the ability to perform well under high temperatures. The new combustion chamber is complemented by the flat piston crown. It is inspired by the technology from KHI’s Gas Turbine and Machinery Company, which prevent detonation. The new assist and slipper clutch ensure the light clutch pull plus it minimizes the wheel chatter due to aggressive downshifting. The new centrifugal-type supercharger is used, which is highly efficient at compression air while reducing heat. There is no need of large and heavy intercooler due to an incredible efficiency of a supercharger. It was designed according to an engine and it allows the high-efficiency operation over the wide range of conditions, which could not be provided the typical supercharger. The complex shape of an impeller is 3D machined from forged aluminum for better precision and durability. It has the ability to spin at a 9.2x speed of crankshaft reaching the speeds of nearly 13,000 rpm. It has the pumping capacity of over 200 liters of air per second into the engine.
Performance
The new Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle offers the best performance. Its supercharged engine gives the massive amount of power due to its high-performing components. The new dog-ring transmission ensures an effortless and short shifting experience. The gears in the configuration stay in place with the lightweight dog-rings moving to engage and execute the required gear. The new high performing hydraulic clutch contains the Brembo components for smoother actuation and best performance. The use of new Ohlins TTX36 rear shock provides the precise damping for better traction, feedback, and comfort. The rear shock has the remote shock preload adjuster, which makes it easy to adjust the settings without any help of tools. The KYB AOS-2 (Air Oil Separate) low friction cartridge fork provides the best action while the initial stroke is smooth and compliant followed by the progressive damping through the end of a stroke. The new fully adjustable front for rebound and compression damping and preload are fully operational. The all-new Brembo clutch lever and front brake lever are carefully designed to prevent any wind force from engaging these levers during high speed. The top shelf Brembo brake components are tuned specially for the aggressive braking response. The 2 massive 330mm of Brembo semi-floating discs are mounted by the dual radial-mount Brembo Monobloc calipers at its front section. The rear contains the disc of 250mm for stronger braking performance. The lightweight cast aluminum wheels were carefully designed for this sports bike and they were created using the Kawasaki’s World Superbike team. The 5-spoke star-pattern ensure an optimum rigidity for better performance. This sports bike is equipped with the rear tire of 200mm to transmit power to the ground.
Electronics
The all-new Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle features the latest WorldSBK championship-proven electronic management technology. It is the precise chassis orientation that assists the street rider to adapt to the wide range of different riding conditions and scenarios. The compact IMU enables the inertia along the 6-Degree of Freedom to be monitored. The acceleration of the longitudinal, vertical and transverse axes plus pitch and roll rate are measured. The ECU uses the Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software to calculate the yaw rate. It is the next-level system that enables predictive and adaptive electronics for precise chassis orientation awareness. The latest version of KTRC predicts the conditions and act before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction. The rider can choose between the 9-different riding modes, which allows the rider to choose the degree in which each mode intervenes during riding. The rider can also turn it off. The 1-3 modes are optimized for track conditions, 4-6 are for street while the 7-9 modes are for wet surfaces. The KLCM is available in 3 modes offering an unmatchable acceleration for the stop by an electronically controlling engine output to minimize the rear wheel-slip and front end lift. The Launch Control Mode used in Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle lets the rider to launch from the stop with the with the throttle held wide open. The Ohlins electronic steering damper adjusts the damping based on a number of inputs. The steering damping increases as speed increases and decreases as speed decrease for best performance. The new KQS used in it now allows for clutchless downshifting for smooth and quick deceleration. The new IMU enabled Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) is one of the best multi-sensing ABS braking assistance system. It uses the high precision control to modulate the brake pressure during riding. It allows the rider to set the engine braking according to preference. When this system is activated, the braking effect of an engine is reduced for low interference during riding on a circuit.
Styling
The new Kawasaki 2017 Ninja H2 Sports Motorcycle features the new design with stylish and attractive chassis. Every angle is this Kawasaki Sports bike is carefully designed for best performance and style. Designed for KHI’s Aerospace Compact, its mirror stays feature airfoil cross-sections with the Gurney flaps that help in downforce generation. The chin spoiler on the upper cowl also contributes in downforce generation. It’s trellis frame gives an ultimate strength to harness an incredible power of its engine. The balanced flex achieves an optimal rigidity and pliability for aggressive sports riding. The Mirror Coated Spark Black paint of fuel tank, seat cowl is developed by KHI and is used first time on any motorcycle. The multi-layer composite paint includes the layer of pure silver formed during the chemical reaction, creates the mirrored effect. In the shade, the dark base coat features the silver for deep 3D appearance. In sun shine it gives the brilliant metallic effect. An iconic Kawasaki River Mart is dominating on the front cowl. The new bank angle display and max bank angle-recording function come as standard. The new Multi-function Meter and digital LCD screen with black and white reverse display with an analog-style tachometer enhance the overall dash look. This display function includes the gear position indicator, digital speedometer, boost indicator, dual trip meter, current mileage and average mileage. The tachometer design uses an actual needle enhanced by backlit rpm numbers, which illuminates to chase the tachometer as it moves around it. The bight and compact LED headlamps are positioned lowered and eth LED taillight, brake light gives the best light output. The rear LED turn signal contains an inner lens, surface texturing and surface-emitting LEDs providing an attractive look.
