KAWASAKI ANNOUNCES FALL RELEASE OF 2024 STREET MOTORCYCLES

No matter what type of motorcycle you’re looking for, Kawasaki’s 2024 lineup has the model for you as it welcomes the return of several retro sport, hypernaked, supernaked, mini naked, hypersport, supersport, sport, retro classic, cruisers, adventure touring, and dual-sport models to its street motorcycle lineup. These 2024 model-year motorcycles are set to arrive in Kawasaki dealerships during the fall months so that riders can continue to “Let the Good Times Roll.”

NEW NINJA ZX-4R ABS / NINJA ZX-4RR ABS / NINJA ZX-4RR KRT EDITION ABS

Kawasaki redefined the 400cc supersport category with the arrival of the Ninja ZX-4R and Ninja ZX-4RR motorcycles. This circuit-focused motorcycle combines real-world road enjoyment and track riding potential and provides the rider the satisfaction of being able to ride with confidence. The Ninja ZX-4R boasts a powerful 399cc in-line four-cylinder engine that produces music to the ears with its high-performance audible signal – helping it stand out from the competition. Its lightweight trellis frame is compact and nimble for exciting cornering performance, while 290mm dual front disc brakes and a high-performance 37mm Showa SFF-BP front fork as well as horizontal back-link rear suspension have been fitted to ensure that the Ninja ZX-4R breeds performance from the ground up. Other premium features include a 4.3” TFT color instrumentation with smartphone connectivity, integrated riding modes that link Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) and Power Modes, and aggressive Ninja ZX family styling that make it clear this is a high-performance supersport model.

2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

High-revving Performance
With a redline beyond 15,000 rpm indicating its screaming potential, this engine features racing-inspired technology also found on the Ninja ZX-10R. The high revs deliver a distinctive, exhilarating engine sound characteristic of a high-performance Kawasaki In-Line Four.
Smartphone Connectivity
Bluetooth technology built into the instrument panel allows connection to smartphones via the “RIDEOLOGY THE APP” smartphone application, enabling riders to access instrument functions for an enhanced motorcycling experience.
Integrated Riding Modes
Four integrated riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain or Rider (manual)) make it simple to select a level of traction control and power mode to suit the current riding conditions.
Dual Front Disc Brakes
The ZX-4R’s two ø290 mm front brake discs and radialmount monobloc calipers provide sure stopping power, while also offering excellent braking feel to inspire confidence both on the track and on the street.
Ergonomics for Control and Comfort
Naturally aggressive riding position (more forwardleaning than the Ninja 400’s, but still slightly relaxed) lets riders take advantage of the Ninja ZX-4R’s nimble handling. The fuel tank feels slim, promoting good contact with the bike, while the shape of the firm seat cushion facilitates rider weight shift during sport riding, and is comfortable for longer rides.
All-New In-Line Four Engine
The new 399 cm3 liquid-cooled DOHC In-Line Four engine pushes technological boundaries to comfortably top the 400cc class*. Developed with know-how gained from other Ninja ZX models, the high-performance engine offers class-leading power and a revrange that extends beyond 15,000 min-1.
Class-Leading Engine Performance
Kawasaki takes 400cc engine performance to a new level, achieving an unprecedented 57 kW (77 PS) of power. The howl of the engine as it revs beyond 15,000 min-1 adds to rider exhilaration. A quick-revving nature and direct throttle response are complemented by a flexible character that offers strong low to mid-range torque for city riding, as well as screaming high-rpm power ideal for sport or track riding.
Dual-direction KQS
Allowing riders to take even greater advantage of the Ninja ZX-4R’s exhilarating engine character, the quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration.
TFT Colour Instrumentation with Circuit Mode
The 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation with selectable display modes (Normal, Circuit) clearly displays the most pertinent information, whether on the street or on the track. Circuit Mode shows the gear position, lap times, and rpm above 10,000 more prominently.
All-LED Lighting
From its twin headlights to its Ninja ZX-10R-inspired taillight, all lighting on the Ninja ZX-4R is LED.
Premium Components and Features
Style meets substance with the Ninja ZX-4R’s high-class styling and high-grade package. Aggressive looks are complemented by premium features like TFT colour instrumentation providing clear information, integrated Riding Modes that link traction control and power modes for easy machine setup, and on the ZX-4RR a quick shifter for fast, simple gear changes.
Trellis Frame with Optimised Rigidity Balance
Designed using Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis, this trellis frame made from high-tensile steel delivers the required balance of strength and chassis flex to achieve the Ninja ZX-4R’s nimble supersport-style handling.
Fierce Ninja ZX Styling
Befitting the most powerful machine in the 400cc class, the Ninja ZX-4R’s aggressive Ninja styling exudes a fierce aura of restrained power and explosive action.
High-Grade Suspension
The Ninja ZX-4R’s ø37 mm inverted fork uses SFFBP internals to offer both racetrack performance and everyday usability while the Horizontal Back-link rear suspension offers a progressive character. Offering increased adjustability, the Ninja ZX-4RR front fork includes an adjustable spring preload.
World Superbike Inspired Chassis Design
Key chassis dimensions (centre of gravity position, swingarm pivot position, engine axis positions, caster
angle, etc) were inspired by Kawasaki’s World Superbike Ninja ZX-10RR racer, bringing WorldSBK chassis design thinking to the 400cc class.
Ram Air Intake
Complementing the centrally positioned Ram Air intake, the side Ram Air duct, designed with feedback from the Ninja H2, routes air to the air cleaner box and contributes to stellar performance. Its aggressive look and intake sound add to the screaming In-Line Four experience, and visually identify the bike as one of Kawasaki’s Ninja ZX models.
