Kawasaki Updates 2026 Ninja ZX-10R and ZX-10RR With New Aero and Electronics

Kawasaki emphasizes stability, control and connectivity with peak output held at 204 bhp.

Overview

  • A redesigned front fairing relocates the Ram Air intake above the headlights and introduces a hybrid projector‑reflector lighting setup.
  • Integrated winglets are claimed to boost downforce by up to 25% with only a 0.3% increase in drag.
  • The 998cc inline‑four remains unchanged at 204 bhp, with refined throttle response and mapping for smoother, more predictable cornering.
  • Chassis tweaks include a swingarm pivot raised by 2mm and suspension updates: 43mm Showa Balance Free forks on the ZX‑10R and additional adjustability on the ZX‑10RR.
  • A larger 5‑inch TFT anchors an expanded suite of aids and Rideology app connectivity, with Indian availability expected next year and pricing yet to be announced, which reports suggest may carry a slight premium.
