2027 Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-10RR: ready for street and track
The prestigious Ninja ZX-10R family of machines have carried Kawasaki riders to seven World Superbike titles and delivered the thrill of exploring limits on track to a wide range of riders.
For 2027, the recently introduced winglets continue to enhance front-end feel for greater control through corners while the recently introduced family “face” maintains a next-generation Ninja supersport image worthy of a flagship model.
Available at Kawasaki dealers for the new season in either Ninja ZX-10R or Ninja ZX-10RR guise, both machines possess an engine and chassis combination designed for chasing lap times on the track, delivering a high level of circuit riding potential via fine-tuned chassis geometry capitalising on the enhanced aerodynamics.
The front cowl winglets significantly increase downforce at high speeds. Combined with fine-tuned chassis geometry, the Ninja aerodynamic package enhances high-speed control, cornering performance, and overall circuit precision.
Circuit-focused settings for the WorldSBK-developed BFF (Balance Free Front Fork) and BFRC lite (Balance Free Rear Cushion) shock facilitate front-rear weight transfer and contribute to light handling while braking is care of dual high-spec Brembo M50 monobloc calipers gripping large ø330 mm discs and a specially prepared radial-pump master cylinder. For the RR model this also extends to steel braded front brake hoses.
At its heart, the Ninja ZX-10R’s engine balances stunning power with manageability, offering linear power delivery right to its heady peak potential ensuring ideal engine response during all facets of riding – on track or street.
Additionally, the highly sophisticated electronic rider management systems on the Ninja ZX-10R facilitate rider control and include electronic cruise control, traction control, launch control, integrated braking, adjustable power modes and engine braking, launch control and an up/down quickshifter*.
Contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience, riders can also connect to their motorcycle wirelessly using the “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE” smartphone application. Functions that can be accessed include, vehicle info, a riding log, general and rider management tuning plus turn-by-turn navigation and even a voice command function*.
And the next level? The Ninja ZX-10RR (limited to 500 units worldwide) is a track-focused single-seat model that enhances the potential of the base model with further engine and chassis modifications, including Pankl titanium connecting rods and lightweight pistons, a titanium coating on the fork inner tubes, and fine-tuned rear suspension settings; true Ninja spirit.
Track or street, the Ninja ZX-10R and its ZX-10RR sibling are emblematic of Kawasaki’s unfiltered supersport approach. For 2027, that approach remains pure and true to its core ideals.
