Experience the exhilaration of the unique balanced supercharged engine for both long distance touring and daily riding. The best technology is that which becomes a natural extension of ourselves and sets us free. Ninja H2 SX. ENGINEERED TO BE FREE
Large, easy-to-read 6.5” full-colour TFT instrumentation adds a high-tech touch to the cockpit. Complementing the multiple display modes and smartphone connectivity, compatibility with Kawasaki SPIN offers numerous infotainment possibilities.
TPMS continuously monitors tyre air pressure while riding, adding to rider reassurance on long tours.
A more advanced version of Electronic Cruise Control, ACC maintains the speed set by the rider, but adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a suitable following distance from the vehicle in front.
Attaching and removing the accessory panniers is simple and convenient thanks to the mounting system. When mounted, the panniers integrate seamlessly with the rear of the bike; when removed, the clutter-free design ensures the rear of the bike looks good.
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.
With its large windshield and full-fairing bodywork, the Ninja H2 SX provides substantial wind protection, contributing to rider comfort on long rides. In addition to contributing to sporty styling, the aerodynamically shaped bodywork is also a benefit when riding at highway speeds.
Kawasaki’s new smartphone-based infotainment app enables various third-party applications to be downloaded and displayed on the cockpit’s TFT display.
Ergonomically designed front seat both provides comfort for spending long hours in the saddle, and accommodates position changes for sportier riding. Both rider and passenger seats are wider than previous, and revised shapes, thickness and density add to rider and passenger comfort.
KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) master key system allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch and steering lock.
The rear-facing radar sensor monitors the bike’s surroundings and alerts the rider to presence of a vehicle approaching in the rider’s blind spot.
When the system determines that continuing at the current speed may result in a collision with the vehicle in front, it warns the rider.
Lean-activated lights built into the fairings help illuminate the road when cornering.
During hard braking, ESS causes the brake light to flash, calling attention to the bike’s quick deceleration.
Designed to offer both power and fuel efficiency, the Balanced Supercharged Engine delivers a maximum power of 200 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.
ERGO-FIT is an interface system that allows a wide range of riders to feel at one with their machine. Genuine Kawasaki Accessories may need to be purchased for certain Ergo Fit adjustments.
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System) is a high-precision brake system designed specifically for supersport models, offering highly efficient braking while maintaining natural feel.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ensures stable braking performance by preventing wheel lock during braking.
Cornering lights provide supplemental illumination when cornering, creating a wider illuminated path in the direction the bike is heading.
Designed completely in-house, the immense potential of the highly compact, highly efficient supercharged engine is a testament to the technology possessed by the KHI Group.
Kawasaki Engine Brake Control allows riders to set engine braking according to preference.
Electronic Throttle Valves allow the ECU to deliver the ideal amount of fuel and air to the engine.
KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter) enables clutchless up- and downshifts
Combined with Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modelling program, input from the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) enables even more precise chassis orientation awareness, the key to bringing Kawasaki’s electronics to the next level.
KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner.
KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode) optimises acceleration from a stop by electronically managing engine output to prevent wheelspin.
Based on racing technology, the Assist & Slipper Clutch acts as both a back-torque limiter and a self-servo mechanism that enables a lighter clutch lever pull.
3-Mode KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control), Kawasaki's most advanced traction control system, offers a selection of modes to suit a variety of riding situations, from sport riding to touring.
Power Mode selection allows engine power delivery to be changed to suit the riding situation.
Electronic Cruise Control allows vehicle speed to be fixed. Rider support technology that helps reduce rider fatigue on long trips and contributes to increased touring comfort.
The Economical Riding Indicator is a mark appearing on the instrument panel to indicate favourable fuel consumption, encouraging fuel efficient riding.
