NINJA H2 SX SE

$46,995

Already unique in its ability to provide both the exhilaration of supercharged acceleration along with the comfort and equipment for long-distance riding, the second-generation Ninja H2 SX benefits from a host of new technology that makes it the most advanced model in Kawasaki’s fleet. Our newest flagship model further distinguishes itself with next-level comfort and convenience features that allow riders to focus on enjoying the ride.

The new Ninja H2 SX features a number of technological firsts. Its completely revised core system includes an FI-ECU with torque-demand capabilities, a new IMU that measures in all six DOF; and a compact, boost-circuit-equipped ABS with high computational power – all firsts for Kawasaki. Working in concert, they enable coordinated control of both engine output and brake force.

The new Ninja H2 SX is also the first Japanese mass-production motorcycle and the world’s first sport tourer to be equipped with Bosch’s Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS). Complemented by the new core system, ARAS uses millimetre-wave radar sensors mounted fore and aft to sense other vehicles in proximity to the Ninja H2 SX and provide three new features: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW). The peace of mind offered by these systems contribute to next-level comfort and enhanced rider confidence. Additional first-time functions include Vehicle Hold Assist (VHA) and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS).

BALANCED SUPERCHARGED ENGINE

Designed to offer both power and fuel efficiency, the Balanced Supercharged Engine delivers a maximum power of 210 PS. Tuning focused on the low-mid range prioritises everyday usability in street-riding situations over outright performance, and helps to achieve fuel efficiency exceeding that of the Ninja 1000SX and Versys 1000. Updates for 2022 deliver cleaner emissions (Euro5), while offering increased mid-range torque, which facilitates everyday street riding.

LED CORNERING LIGHTS

LED cornering lights, sets of three lights built into each side of the fairing, help illuminate the road when cornering. Each of the three lights has a fixed direction and is activated based on lean angle. As the bike leans over, the lights come on in order, creating a wider illuminated path in the direction the bike is heading.

VEHICLE HOLD ASSIST

Activated when the rider has stopped and firmly applies the brake(s), VHA engages the rear brake to allow the rider to relax their brake hand/foot.

When the rider has stopped, VHA is initiated after the rider exerts a given amount of pressure (to either the front and/or rear brake). The ABS pump exerts pressure to engage the rear brake, and a light/signal is indicated on the instrument panel to let the rider know that they can relax their brake hand (and foot) and the bike will remain in place.

KAWASAKI SPIN

Kawasaki’s new smartphone-based infotainment app enables various third-party applications to be downloaded and displayed on the cockpit’s TFT display.

Complementing the multiple display modes and smartphone connectivity, compatibility with Kawasaki SPIN offers numerous infotainment possibilities. Basic functions available in the app include telephone, map display, music, calendar, and contacts. Additionally, riders can opt to download third-party apps to add to their Kawasaki SPIN library to be able to interact with them on the TFT display. Some available third-party apps include Sygic (navigation), SENA (headset communication), etc.

ADVANCED RIDER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ARAS)

Bosch’s radar-based ARAS systems make their Japanese mass-production motorcycle debut on the Ninja H2 SX. These surround sensing technology features help add to rider reassurance while touring or riding in heavy traffic.
