COLORS AND BADGES
The ZX-10RR will come
only in the sexy matte
black color scheme the
Kawasaki Racing Team
uses exclusively in the
winter testing program.
This color option was also
available for the standard
2016 model but has since
been replaced by a white
and light green color,
ensuring the winter test
color remains only for the
highest-spec Ninja. You'll
also get a special RR logo
embossed on the right
side engine cover and an
RR engraved key.
long-distance engine break-in and
also reduces mechanical power
losses. The use of DLC makes it
easier to get higher horsepower
numbers when combined with the
race cams. The crankcase has been
reinforced to better sustain the high
revs and horsepower of a race-tuned
engine. The connecting passageways
between the cylinders are narrower
and the wall thickness has been
increased for extra rigidity.
MARCHESINI
FORGED
ALUMINUM
WHEELS
Kawasaki has fitted these
glorious seven-spoke
forged alloy wheels
to the RR, reducing
the gyroscopic mass
and increasing side-to-
side agility, as well as
decreasing the mass that
must be accelerated.
The moment of inertia is
significantly reduced with
these wheels thanks to
the design that centralizes
the mass in the center of
the hubs. These gorgeous
wheels can be fitted to
a standard ZX-10R if you
like, but you'll need new
front brake discs and ABS
speed sensor ring. The ZX-
10RR comes standard with
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa
SP rubber (although we
tested the bike with Pirelli
SuperCorsa SC1 soft race
DOT tires fitted for the
Aragon circuit), whereas
the standard ZX-10R
comes with Bridgestone
RS10s.
