Race-oriented Performance The combination of a short wheelbase with a long swingarm gives the Ninja ZX-10R incredibly nimble yet stable handling performance. The concave tank top and an idealized relationship between pegs, handlebars and seat, creates an aggressive, compact riding position. Close-ratio transmission, slipper clutch, radial mount calipers, petal disc brakes and fully adjustable suspension are also all designed to make the 10R unbeatable on the track. Aggressive New Styling One look says it all: this machine was born for the circuit. No frills, nothing superfluous. This is the most purposeful looking machine in its category. A perfect example of function expressed as form. The new fairing significantly improves the 10Rs aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds. Aerodynamic performance and looks are further improved by the trick new dual under-seat muffler. Superior Cornering Performance One of the most significant things we have learned over the years is that on the racetrack, maximum power is important but it isnt everything. Kawasaki engineers and test riders took the tricks they learned from years of racing and developing supersport machines and applied them to the 10Rs chassis, thoroughly investigating both static and kinetic centers of gravity. They also redesigned the 10Rs power curve for more power in the mid range and more linear power delivery across the rpm range. More reasons why the new 10R will be the top big-bore track tool in 2006.
