The launching point for the development of the Ninja H2 was a strong desire to offer riders something they had never before experienced. Convinced that a truly extraordinary riding experience would not be found on a motorcycle that merely built on the performance of existing models, the design team committed to developing the “ultimate” motorcycle from a clean slate. The bike needed to deliver intense acceleration and an ultra-high top speed, coupled with supersport-level circuit performance. Experience unforgettable supercharged street performance and World Superbike racing inspired next-level electronics with the Kawasaki Ninja H2 motorcycle.
KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL (KTRC)
The KTRC system used on the Ninja H2 combines the best elements of Kawasaki’s earlier traction control systems. Multi-level modes offer riders a greater number of settings to choose from, with each mode providing a different level of intrusion to suit riding conditions and rider preference, and all modes designed to manage output when a sudden slip occurs. The new system offers both enhanced sport riding performance and the peace of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence.
THE SUPERCHARGER
The supercharger used in the Ninja H2 was designed by Kawasaki motorcycle engine designers with assistance from other companies within the KHI Group, namely the Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, Aerospace Company, and Corporate Technology Division. One of the greatest benefits of designing in-house and tailoring its design to match the character of the Ninja H2 engine was that engineers were able to achieve high-efficiency operation over a wide range of conditions – something that would not have been possible by simply dropping in or trying to adapt an aftermarket automotive supercharger. The highly efficient, motorcycle-specific supercharger was the key to achieving the maximum power and the intense acceleration that engineers wanted to offer.
KAWASAKI CORNERING MANAGEMENT FUNCTION
The strength of Kawasaki’s cutting edge electronics has always been the highly sophisticated programming that, using minimal hardware, gives the ECU an accurate real-time picture of what the chassis is doing. Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modelling program makes skillful use of the magic formula tyre model as it examines changes in multiple parameters, enabling it to take into account changing road and trye conditions. The addition of Bosch IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit) and the latest evolution of this advanced modelling software bring the electronic management systems on the Ninja H2 to the next level.
TFT Colour Interface
The advanced, hightech design of the instrumentation contributes to the Ninja H2’s flagship level quality. The analogue-style tachometer is complemented by a high-grade full colour TFT LCD screen that enables information to be displayed graphically. Four selectable display modes allow riders to prioritise the information they want to see depending on the kind of riding they are doing at the time.
KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER
The Ninja H2 was the first Kawasaki motorcycle to be fit standard with a 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 easy deceleration.
BREMBO BRAKES
Given the Ninja H2’s high-speed potential, the brakes chosen were the best available for a mass-production model. Special tuning then assured that all play was removed from the system, so that when the brakes were called for they would respond immediately. Brembo’s Stylema
monobloc calipers are the company’s latest highspec street-use calipers.
