Begins with the release of a sketch and a video ‘teaser’ approach to the presentation – which will probably in late summer – the new Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja 2011 model year. The timetable for the new superbike House Akashi are indeed “ripe” because the life cycle of the current model ends, the canons being spent four years of stay on the market.
Last summer, having “found” technical drawings of a new engine “flat” (with horizontal cylinder bank) secured by Kawasaki at the international patent office, we assumed the technical exploration of new horizons by Japanese engineers, the research, perhaps a higher level of drivability, as occurred in off-road by Husaberg Yamaha first and then with their latest single cylinder.
The little information that can be inferred from the material released today seem to instead define a completely new design but not too far from the typical layout of a 4-cylinder superbike. The frame of the movie where the bike without keels is set on the dyno you can see the frame is aluminum perimeter double girder, the swing-arm differentiated section of generous, light-alloy wheels with three spokes and a codon in style Z1000 ” (thin and not too fired up).
The shock should be much inclined with progressive linkage and positioned above the central part of the swing arm, probably to make room for the exhaust system, with pre-chamber located below the pivot element oscillating and low muffler on the right side. As for the fork, it is almost taken for granted the intriduzione Showa BPF, as has already been done on the “sister” ZX-6R.
The sketch shows taut lines and multifaceted, with the big mouth air intake located centrally on the windshield to maximize the pressure of fluid intake. Extreme is also the quest for better aerodynamics, with a plexiglass much inclined, and perhaps an area to “double layer” for the sides of the fairing.
As for the technical data is not known but obviously nothing in our opinion it is conceivable to achieve a given declared 200 bhp tree (without direct air induction), in the wake of last trend launched by BMW with S1000RR, capable of 193 hp, the most powerful superbike series currently marketed. Among the advantages of the new Ninja superbike will certainly also a level of highly advanced electronic control of power, with multiple mapping and traction control.
The site dedicated to the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2011 (www.kawasaki-challenge.com) will gradually proposals all the updates on the launch of the final model: we constantly keep an eye on … so stay tuned!
