Overview of the Kawasaki Ninja H2R model range:

The development of the Ninja H2R motorcycle goes beyond the boundaries of any other Kawasaki motorcycle. Born of unprecedented inter-company collaboration within the Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) Group, the world’s only limited production supercharged hypersport model represents the pinnacle of Kawasaki engineering, delivering astonishing acceleration and mind-bending top speed suitable only for closed courses.

Power: Power without precedent:

The unprecedented power output of the supercharged Ninja H2R closed-course motorcycle is made possible only through a system of finely-tuned and carefully crafted high-quality components.

SUPERCHARGER – In-house Designed:

Chosen for its high-rpm performance, the centrifugal-type supercharger is incredibly efficient at compressing air (up to 2.4x atmospheric pressure) while minimizing heat. As a result of the supercharger’s efficiency, no large, heavy intercooler is required to cool the compressed air. The supercharger was designed to match the engine, allowing high-efficiency operation over a wider range of conditions than a typical supercharger.

SUPERCHARGER IMPELLER – Forged Aluminum Impeller:

The complex shape of the impeller is 3D machined from forged aluminum for high precision and durability. The impeller spins at 9.2x the speed of the crankshaft, reaching speeds of nearly 130,000 rpm, pumping over 200 liters of air per second into the engine.

PLANETARY GEAR – Precision-Crafted:

Designed using technology from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) Aerospace Company, the planetary gear transfers power from the crankshaft to drive the impeller at incredibly high rpm.

ENGINE – Unmatched Power:

Loaded with technology developed specifically for a supercharged engine, the whole engine was designed to accommodate the higher air pressure from the supercharger and ensure high reliability with over 300 PS output. Designed for high-performance racing engines, the premium dog-ring transmission enables smooth, precise, quick shifting. Rather than shifting gears into place, the gears in this configuration stay in place, with the lightweight dog rings moving to engage the gears. A high-quality hydraulic clutch is complemented by an adjustable back-torque limiter that helps minimize wheel hop that may occur with rapid downshifting.

Performance: Heart-pounding Exhilaration: Surrounding the Ninja H2R motorcycle’s high-output engine is a multitude of premium, high-performance components, selected specifically for unmatchable performance at closed-course speeds.

SUSPENSION – Smooth & Precise:

The Öhlins TTX36 rear shock with remote preload adjuster is fully adjustable and offers precise damping for enhanced traction, comfort, and feedback to the rider. The KYB AOS-II (Air-Oil-Separate) low friction cartridge fork offers superb action; the initial stroke is smooth and compliant followed by progressive damping through the end of the stroke. The front fork is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping, as well as preload.

BRAKES – High-Performance:

The Ninja H2R motorcycle comes equipped with dual radial-mount opposed four-piston Brembo Stylema front calipers and semi-floating ø330 mm discs for aggressive braking. The Brembo clutch and front brake levers were designed to prevent wind force from engaging the levers while at higher speed. This impressive hardware is governed by the supersport-grade Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS).

WHEELS – World Superbike-Inspired:

The lightweight cast aluminum wheels were designed specifically for the Ninja H2R motorcycle and created using analysis from Kawasaki’s World Superbike team. The Ninja H2R comes equipped with slick tires. The Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V01 commercially available superbike racing tires are rated for ultra-high-speed operation for which the Ninja H2R was designed.

FRAME – Strength & Flexibility:

The trellis frame provides the strength to harness the incredible power of the supercharged engine and the balanced flex to achieve optimal rigidity and pliability for aggressive sport riding.

Advanced Electronics:

State-of-the-art: Key enhancements bring Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) WorldSBK championship-proven electronics management technology to the Ninja H2R motorcycle. This results in precise chassis orientation awareness that assists the rider’s ability to adapt to a wide range of closed-course riding conditions.

KTRC – Kawasaki TRaction Control:

Whereas many competitive traction control systems react to wheel slip, KTRC, enhanced with feedback from the IMU, predicts conditions and acts before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction. Nine modes allow riders to choose the degree in which KTRC intervenes during riding. KTRC can also be switched off completely.

KLCM – Kawasaki Launch Control Mode:

Three-mode KLCM provides unmatchable acceleration from a stop by electronically controlling engine output to minimize rear wheel slip and front-end lift. Kawasaki Launch Control Mode allows the rider to launch from a stop with the throttle held wide open.

KIBS – Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-Lock Brake System:

Also enhanced by feedback from the IMU, Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) is a supersport-grade, high-precision, multi-sensing ABS brake assistance system that uses high-precision control to modulate brake pressure during sport riding.

KAWASAKI ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL

Capable & Efficient:

This system allows riders to set engine braking according to preference. When the system is activated, the engine braking effect is reduced, providing less interference when riding on the circuit.

KQS – Kawasaki Quick Shifter:

Complementing the engine’s strong power and the dog-ring transmission, a contactless-type quick shifter enables quick upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick and smooth deceleration.

Styling: Stunning Aerodynamic Design: The Ninja H2R’s design projects intense force, becoming a product of functional beauty. Each and every angle, from the carbon-fiber wings to the front fender, is designed to contribute unprecedented performance and style.

AERODYNAMIC DEVICES

Sleek & Functional:

The Ninja H2R’s aerodynamic design helps reduce drag, create downforce, and ensure optimal airflow to the supercharger. Carbon-fiber vortex down-control wings, designed by KHI’s Aerospace Company, feature angled winglets to help smooth airflow around the wingtips so that the wings can more effectively create downforce. Highly rigid carbon-fiber upper cowl and aerodynamically shaped rear cowl help efficiently direct airflow to reduce resistance, while a chin spoiler further contributes to downforce generation and higher stability.

PAINT – Premium Quality:

Kawasaki’s original silver-mirror paint was developed specifically for motorcycles. Its highly reflective, sparkling glass-like metal appearance adds to the bike’s stunning design. In the shade, the paint appears black, but once in the sunlight, its highly reflective surface takes on the appearance of the surrounding scenery.

A special top coat on all non-carbon bodywork parts allows certain types of scratches to repair themselves, enabling the paint to maintain its high-quality finish through normal wear and tear*. Self-healing is achieved through microscopic soft and hard segments within the top coat that work like a chemical spring, creating a trampoline effect that absorbs impacts. *Paint recovery is not immediate and may take more than one week. The paint will not recover from all scratches, including those caused by a coin, key, or zip fastener.

Conclusion

The Kawasaki NINJA H2R is a testament to the relentless pursuit of speed and performance. With its jaw-dropping design, unparalleled power, and advanced technology, it sets a new standard for track-focused motorcycles. While it may not be accessible to everyone, the NINJA H2R represents the pinnacle of engineering and serves as an inspiration to motorcycle enthusiasts around the world. So, if you ever have the opportunity to witness this supercharged beast in action, prepare to be blown away by its sheer power and performance.
