In 2016, the Kawasaki Racing Team and Kawasaki factory in Japan joined forces and created the new ZX-10R motorcycle that featured world-class power and championship-proven technology, which brought the performance to the next level with its new engine, chassis, and top-end electronic package.
The 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS KRT Edition was tested, refined, and approved by the World Champion's Jonathan Rea and Tom Sykes, which brought the bike as close as it could to being part of the Kawasaki World Superbike team.
The bike featured a new, more powerful engine with a lighter crankshaft that provided increased low-mid range power, new pistons for better engine response, a new computer-controlled electronic throttle valve that delivered precise control, a new lightweight titanium exhaust system, and much more.
The ABS KRT Edition motorcycle had its soul in a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 13,000 rpm, 210 hp with the ram air system at full potential, and 114 Nm (84 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,600 rpm.
Also, the model featured a new Sports Kawasaki Traction Control system that offered five riding modes, such as the mode one and two designed for track purposes, mode three was for a dry circuit with grippy tires, mode four was for dry canyon roads or commuting, and mode five was programmed for wet circuit or street use.
