Upgraded Sport Riding Enjoyment
The Ninja 1100SX takes sport riding enjoyment to the next level, with a larger-displacement engine and improved KQS. Sporty handling, supersport-style chassis components and dynamic Ninja styling from its predecessor are maintained, with the superbly balanced engine-chassis package contributing to street-riding excitement in a wide range of situations.
Increased Touring Performance
Improved fuel economy, longer 5th and 6th gears, and the addition of a handlebar-mounted USB Type-C outlet make longer journeys even more enjoyable. As before, an upright riding position, manageable power delivery, and surefooted handling offer the versatility for daily riding, while superb wind protection, Electronic Cruise Control and a seamlessly integrated accessory pannier system add to comfortable weekend escapes.
1,099 cm3 In-Line Four: Increased Displacement for Better Low-Mid Range
Based on the Ninja 1000SX’s proven and well-liked engine, the Ninja 1100SX’s engine displaces 1,099 cm3 and delivers 11.5 kgƒ·m of torque. The liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-Line Four engine now pulls even more strongly in the low-to-mid rpm range— which riders will notice immediately and use often— while the high rpm performance remains robust to deliver all-around improved engine power feel and response.
Improved Kawasaki Quick Shifter
The dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) is now even easier and more fun to use, offering smoother shifting when accelerating and decelerating. It now functions from a lower minimum rpm, facilitating slower-speed gear shifts, and improving ride feel when riding at a more relaxed pace.
Composed Sporty Handling
The Ninja 1100SX’s highly rigid aluminium frame offers a high degree of mass centralization, offering a balance of agility and firm handling. The bike responds quickly to rider input, while offering an excellent ability to soak up bumps and ruts. Highly composed, the Ninja 1100SX’s superb straight-line stability and its planted feeling in corners make it easy to spend long hours in the saddle.
Improved Fuel Economy
The Ninja 1100SX achieves both an increase in engine power and improved fuel economy at the same time thanks to revised engine components, longer 5th and 6th gears, and a lower rev limit.
Supersport-Style Chassis Components
Offering both control and comfort, the Ninja 1100SX’s relaxed riding position was designed to accommodate everything from city riding to touring to sport riding. This blend of comfort and control allows the rider to enjoy a variety of riding situations.
Dynamic Ninja Styling
Styling that highlights the Ninja 1100SX’s Ninja family image and sport riding potential features streamlined looking fairings and a single-sided muffler.
Handlebar-Mounted USB-C Outlet
A USB Type-C socket is now mounted on the left handlebar, offering riders a convenient power source.
Clean-Mount Pannier System
The mounting system for the accessory panniers allows the panniers to be attached and removed very simply, contributing to increased convenience. Seamlessly integrating the panniers with the rear of the bike, the clean-mount system positions the panniers close to the bike centerline, its clean clutter-free design ensuring the rear of the bike still looks good with the panniers removed.
Rider Support Technology: IMU-Enhanced Electronics Package
The Ninja 1100SX features a host of rider support technology dedicated to helping riders enjoy their machine’s sport riding performance to the fullest.
Relaxed Riding Position
Offering both control and comfort, the Ninja 1100SX’s relaxed riding position was designed to accommodate everything from city riding to touring to sport riding. This blend of comfort and control allows the rider to enjoy a variety of riding situations.
Longer 5th and 6th Gears
With longer 5th and 6th gears, riders can cruise at a lower rpm on the expressway, which adds to touring comfort and improves fuel economy.
Electronic Cruise Control
Kawasaki’s cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
Lower Vibration
Weights added in the handlebars themselves are complemented by heavier bar ends to keep vibration while riding to a minimum.
Wind Protection
Wind protection afforded by the full-fairing bodywork is complemented by a windshield with four available positions. The windshield is adjustable by hand (without tools).
KCMF - Kawasaki Cornering Management Function
KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner.
IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit
Combined with Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modelling program, input from the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) enables even more precise chassis orientation awareness, the key to bringing Kawasaki’s electronics to the next level.
KTRC (3-mode)
3-Mode KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control), Kawasaki's most advanced traction control system, offers a selection of modes to suit a variety of riding situations, from sport riding to touring.
Power Modes
Power Mode selection allows engine power delivery to be changed to suit the riding situation.
Electronic Cruise Control
Electronic Cruise Control allows vehicle speed to be fixed. Rider support technology that helps reduce rider fatigue on long trips and contributes to increased touring comfort.
Smartphone Connectivity
Smartphone connectivity contributes to an enhanced motorcycling experience by enabling riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.
Electronic Throttle Valves
Electronic Throttle Valves allow the ECU to deliver the ideal amount of fuel and air to the engine.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.
KIBS
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System) is a high-precision brake system designed specifically for supersport models, offering highly efficient braking while maintaining natural feel.
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension arranges its shock unit horizontally, greatly contributing to efficient use of space and mass centralisation.
