SUPERSPORT POWER
HIGH-REVVING
The strong 399cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke in-line 4-cylinder engine delivers exhilarating performance and class-leading power to eclipse the rest of the 400cc field. Developed with feedback from other Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™ supersport machines, the engine's quick-revving nature and direct throttle response offer strong low- to mid-range torque for city riding and screaming high-rpm power ideal for sport or track riding.
SUPERSPORT POWER
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE
A trademark feature of Ninja® ZX™ models, the ram air intake system features a central intake and side duct that work with a downdraft intake to improve cylinder-filling efficiency to deliver stellar engine performance.
SUPERSPORT POWER
PERFORMANCE & SOUND
The exhaust system configuration produces strong power output and features a long silencer for a clear, distinctive exhaust note that can only come from an in-line 4-cylinder Ninja® sportbike.
SUPERSPORT POWER
SMOOTH SHIFTING
The Ninja® ZX™-4R supersport features a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission, making it especially well-suited for accelerating out of corners when sport or track riding. The Ninja® ZX™-4RR supersport adds a dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), which enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick deceleration.
SUPERSPORT POWER
KEEP THE MOMENTUM
A racing-developed Assist & Slipper Clutch provides light clutch-lever pull and reduces back-torque when excessive engine braking occurs due to quick or unintended downshifts. This helps prevent rear tire hopping and skidding.
