India Kawasaki Motors Pvt. Ltd. (IKM) announces the launch of all New BS-6 compliant Premium Supersport MY21 Ninja ZX-10R. All New Ninja ZX-10R will be available in 2 colours (“Lime green” and “Flat Ebony Type 2”) and price will be starting at launching price of INR 14,99,000/- (Ex-Showroom)



The challenges are always challenging, and with every Superbike World championship (WorldSBK) win the bar is raised to next level.

To match this next level Kawasaki Factory team, Kawasaki Racing Team has to check every possibility for the evolution of this iconic mean machines. The feedback from our team rider Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes has profoundly helped in identifying the keyword for the upgrades of Ninja ZX-10R and to add features truly developed for race.

The target keyword was identified as downforce, which is the main constituent of aerodynamics. To innovate in aerodynamics, we have used integrated winglets into the structure of cowling, resulting in creating additional downforce which is approximately 17% greater than previous Ninja ZX-10R.

The rear seat is also culminated to create a low-pressure area behind rider, to prevent the air drag during frequent manoeuvring.

To complement the 6-times consecutive win of Kawasaki Racing team on WorldSBK, the Ninja ZX-10R has been allowed to use Kawasaki’s prestigious river mark emblem.

To allow a wide range of riders to experience the thrill of exploring their limits on the circuit, the feedbacks of team riders are incorporated in mass production model.
