The Kawasaki Racing Team-inspired dog-ring transmission provides high performance shifting that offers light operation and crisp, rapid shifts for quick acceleration.

The assist cam reduces the clutch spring load for lighter clutch lever operation, which helps reduce rider fatigue in city riding situations like stop & go traffic or traffic jams. The slipper cam relieves pressure from back-torque to help prevent the rear tire from hopping and skidding when downshifting.

The intake duct features a fine-tuned shape that highlights the operating sound of the supercharger for a unique and emotional engine sound unlike anything you've heard before.

Enhanced handling care of the adjustable Showa SFF-BP front fork is complemented by the New Uni Trak rear suspension featuring a Showa shock absorber with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload for personalised performance.

Radially-mounted Brembo M4.32 monobloc calipers grip large ø320 mm discs to produce powerful braking. On the Z H2 SE, a higher-spec Brembo front brake package includes Stylema monobloc calipers and a Brembo front master cylinder, offering stronger braking performance and enhanced control.

An upright handlebar and seat with an optimised base plate and cushion thickness create a relaxed riding position that offers ample freedom of movement. The wide, Fat-type (large-diameter) handlebar facilitates rider input, while compact control switches contribute to a sophisticated fit and finish.

The significance of the Kawasaki River Mark emblem displayed on the headlamp cowl should not be forgotten. Its use, an honour permitted only for very special models, confirms the Z H2 as a flagship model.

Headlight and taillight are equipped with LED bulbs for vivid illumination. Modern LED lighting delivers excellent visibility and adds a high-tech accent to the aggressive styling.

All-digital TFT (thin-film transistor) colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance and visibility. The screen’s background colour is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light.

Three modes cover a wide range of riding conditions, offering either enhanced sport riding performance or the peace of mind under certain conditions to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence.

Designed to assist the rider by optimising acceleration from a stop, KLCM electronically manages engine output to minimise wheelspin and wheel lift when launching. KLCM should only be used under closed-course conditions; do not use KLCM during everyday riding.

KIBS, Kawasaki's original brake management system, uses high-precision control to regulate hydraulic brake pressure. During sport riding, it provides linear braking characteristics, enabling effective and stable braking with minimal intervention. When the brakes are applied while turning, KIBS’ highly advanced hydraulic control is used to modulate brake force to assist riders trace their intended line through the corner.

On the Z H2 SE, KECS adapts to road and riding conditions in real time, providing the ideal amount of damping in real time. KECS delivers both the suppleness to offer riding comfort in a wide range of riding situations, as well as the firm damping to facilitate sport riding. The tyres feel planted, delivering confidence when cornering. In Rain Mode, Showa’s Skyhook technology offers an even more composed ride.

For added convenience, Electronic Cruise Control allows a desired speed to be maintained with the press of a button, contributing to comfort for longer, relaxed rides.

Dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter allows both clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and smooth deceleration.

Bluetooth Smartphone Connectivity (using RIDEOLOGY THE APP*) connects riders to their motorcycles wirelessly like never before, allowing you to view vehicle info, riding log, phone notifications, and general settings.
