The 2024 Kawasaki Z7 Hybrid follows the steps of the game-changer Ninja 7 Hybrid, offering three different riding modes with endless innovative features, making it part of the new technological era.
It comes with top-end technologies like a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) that combines a petrol engine with an electric one for increased performance, the e-Boost Function, which, at a press of a button, boosts acceleration and offers a higher top speed, and Button-Shift, which makes gear-shifting more pleasant.
Other technologies included the Idling Stop Function, which stops the engine to save fuel; Walk Mode (with Reverse), which assists the rider in a parking lot by moving the bike at walk speed; and Smartphone Connectivity.
The bike is made around a high-tensile steel trellis frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front providing 120 mm wheel travel and a bottom-link, Uni-Trak, gas-charged shock with spring-preload adjustability offering 114 mm wheel travel.
For stopping power, the bike packs a 300 mm braking disc clamped by a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 220 mm rotor tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
Regarding power, the 2024 Kawasaki Z7 Hybrid comes with a 451cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, boasting 69 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) torque at 2,800 rpm.
It is delivered in two color schemes, Metallic Bright Silver with Metallic Matte Lime Green and Ebony, and Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray with Ebony and Metallic Graphite Gray at an MSRP of $8,150.
