Kawasaki Push the Limit
POSTED: 04/11/2025
First up is the sharp new look and ‘Face’ of the iconic model. An aggressive front end with new headlamps and of course the most obvious change, the new aero package. Setting the wings’ angle of attack, Kawasaki engineers worked tirelessly in both the wind tunnel and on the test track to achieve the optimal balance of downforce and drag. The new aero increases downforce by approx. 25%.
The latest Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R combines a Euro5+ powerful, responsive engine performance with refined control designed for maximum track efficiency. Chassis and Suspension components derived from WorldSBK racing - the Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) and Balance Free Rear Cushion lite (BFRC lite) - provide precise handling, smooth front-rear weight transfer, and light, agile maneuverability. Revised chassis geometry with new rear pivot and link are tuned to complement the new aerodynamic package, enhances rear-wheel traction and cornering stability. Completing the package, high-spec Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, large 330mm discs, and a radial-pump master cylinder deliver next-level braking performance and control.
In the cockpit, a larger 5” all-digital TFT colour meter creates a high-tech, high-grade appearance and offers additional features unavailable on the previous model, while the Rideology App allows the rider to link their machine via wireless connection to their Smartphone. Turn by Turn navigation is also a new feature for 2026 showing just how practical Ninja ZX-10R ownership is, while Voice Command technology makes its debut.
Moving to the next level, the track-focused Ninja ZX-10RR for 2026 continues to feature Pankl connecting rods and pistons plus braided front brake hoses. Adjustable Öhlins steering damper with twin-tube design is fitted as standard equipment to both the ZX-10RR and ZX-10R.

Fiveways Motorcycle Centre LTD is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Fiveways Motorcycle Centre LTD to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
