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 Ninja ZX-4R SE and ZX-4RR a quick shifter for fast, simple gear changes.
Ultra-Compact Nimble Supersport Chassis
A hallmark of the ZX series is razor-sharp handling with excellent feedback that inspires confidence, and the Ninja ZX-4R is no exception. This stems directly from Kawasaki’s WorldSBK racing efforts, and their work in developing the Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-6R. As a result, the Ninja ZX-4R offers a handling character similar to its siblings.
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.
