VOLUME 57 ISSUE 48 DECEMBER 1, 2020 P45 S eeing as the Kawasaki Z H2 came out at the start of this year, we weren't expecting anything new on the model for 2021. How- ever, Kawasaki has still given the utterly mental supercharged Z H2 a few new goodies by fitting the new Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) and Brembo Stylema four-piston calipers matched to a new Brembo master-cylinder. The suspension is the Showa Skyhook EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) that alters suspension damping every millisecond for the 43mm fork and Showa BFRC Lite shock. You'll get four modes of Sport, Road, Rain and Rider, which work together with the suspension to provide optimized handling. With the fitment of the Styelma calipers, the Z H2 SE now has higher grade stopping power than even the new ZX-10R, which is slightly odd given the Z H2 SE is less about overall perfor- mance compared to the ZX-10R superbike. The rest of the machine is as-you-were, with the same uber-powerful supercharged 998cc inline four motor, TFT dash and a full suite of rider aids like traction control, Cornering ABS and cruise control. The 2021 Kawasaki Z H2 SE will set you back $19,700 and will be available in Golden Blazed Green or Metallic Diablo Black colors. CN KAWASAKI Z H2 SE 2021
