Ninja ZX-10R Specifications

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is built around a 998cc liquid-cooled inline-four cylinder engine that produces 203 PS at 13,200 rpm and 114.9 Nm of torque at 11,400 rpm. With RAM Air engaged on a track straight, that figure climbs to 213 PS - enough to feel genuinely dangerous if you're not paying attention. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch and Kawasaki's bidirectional Quick Shifter (KQS), which makes both up- and downshifts clutchless.

The chassis is a twin-spar aluminium frame suspended by a Showa BFF (Balance Free Fork) 43mm inverted unit up front and a Showa BFRC-Lite monoshock at the rear - both fully adjustable, which matters a lot if you're switching between track days and highway runs. Braking is handled by dual 330mm Brembo monobloc calipers at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear, all managed by KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System) that's tuned specifically for supersport use.

Key dimensions: seat height is 835mm, kerb weight 207 kg (wet), fuel tank capacity 17 litres, and wheelbase 1,450mm. The 2026 model adds aerodynamic winglets redesigned to generate 25% more downforce than the outgoing version - critical for keeping the front wheel honest on long straights approaching 250+ kmph. ARAI certified mileage is 12 kmpl, which is honest but tells you this is not a commuter.

Electronics are comprehensive: a 5-inch full-colour TFT display, 6-axis IMU, cornering ABS, 4-level Power Mode selector, 3-level Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), 3-level Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM), Engine Brake Control (KEBC), and Kawasaki Corner Management Function (KCMF). For a bike at this price point in India, that's a spec sheet that easily rivals bikes costing twice as much.
