Kawasaki has earned the right to milk a championship hangover with two WSBK titles to its credit in the past three seasons. But Team Green isnt falling into any such slumber, as the Ninja ZX-10R has undergone a major generational update for 2016. At stake is more than simply providing reigning team rider Jonathan Rea the best possible platform on which to defend the crown. Of greater importance to sales, is a long overdue shot of topping the stock liter-bike shootouts.\r
As so often stated in the past by any given manufurer, Kawasaki says the goal of the project was to make the ZX-10R easier to ride fast. To this end, the electronics suite that has largely gone unchanged since first appearing on the 10R in new has seen major improvement. This includes a completely revamped Sport-Kawasaki Trion Control (S-KTRC), newly added engine-brake control, a launch-control mode, quick shifter, and smarter optional KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent Braking System) cornering ABS. The system now utilizes a Bosch five axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measuring longitudinal, transverse, and vertical acceleration along with roll and pitch rates. Kawasakis proprietary software calculates yaw rate, a sixth degree of freedom said to sense the rear end stepping out during a powerslide. Kawasaki touts this latest S-KTRC system as the most advanced of all current offerings due to its “predictive” rather than reive nature of maximizing cornering grip and exit drive.Today was a beautiful but windy day. It was necessary to test the new 2016 Kawasaki ZX10r can. In the video you can see the acceleration and especially TOP SPEED. Everything can be seen several times. Have fun and thank you for watching my channel Ninja gö. Thank you veru much for watching.
