Designed to offer both power and fuel efficiency, the Balanced Supercharged Engine delivers a maximum power of 200 PS. But a mission to offer everyday usability in street-riding situations rather than outright performance meant that tuning could focus on the low-mid range, helping to achieve the engine’s superb fuel efficiency.

• Base mechanical components are essential to suspension feel. KECS on the Ninja H2 SX SE+ uses a sporty ø43 mm Showa cartridge fork and a high-spec BFRC lite rear shock – the same rear suspension used on the Ninja ZX-10R SE except it also features electronically adjustable preload.
• Base damping character is set according to the integrated Riding Mode (Sport, Road, Rain, Rider (manual)) selected. KECS then adjusts to the road surface environment in real time to provide the ideal damping, taking into account vehicle speed, stroke speed and deceleration.
• With KECS, the rear preload is also electronically adjustable – a first for Kawasaki. Riders can choose from three payload modes (each with +5/-5 adjustment).

• Compared to the previous M50 units, the new calipers have less volume around the pistons and brake pads. This reduces the internal space taken up by brake fluid, enabling a more direct response.
• The new calipers are also lighter, with smaller external dimensions that also enable shorter mounting bolts. A redesign of key sections allows stiffness to be maintained while enabling a more direct connection to the piston area.
• Stylema calipers cool very rapidly thanks to increased airflow around the brake pads, increased space around the pistons, and an opening that allows air to exit from the central bridge.
