New Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 40th Anniversary Edition Performance

Over the last 40 years, Ninja motorcycles have captured the hearts of sportbike enthusiasts around the world. We’ve never strayed from our roots, but we’ve always been revolutionary in development. We lead the industry in heart-pounding performance, engineering, technology, and handling. Ninja isn’t just a recognizable name, it’s a way of life. The Ninja ZX-6R Performance edition is completed with a Carbon Akrapovic silencer, a colour coded seat cover, a smoke windscreen, a tank pad, knee pads and a screen protector.

Large Brake Discs, Monobloc Calipers
Highly rigid, radial-mount monobloc calipers deliver a firm feel at the lever for superb control. Large ø310 mm disc brakes and a radialpump front brake master cylinder complete the front brake package, ensuring powerful braking with excellent feel. A ø220 mm disc brake and lightweight caliper slows the rear wheel. New round discs similar in style to those of the Ninja ZX-10R contribute to the strong Ninja ZX family image.

Sporty Windshield
Short windshield contributes to the Ninja ZX-6R’s supersport image. Like the Ninja ZX-10R, the front cowl supports the sides of windshield. Holes in the windshield relieve pressure build-up behind the screen to help reduce buffeting when riding at elevated speeds.

636 cm3 Liquid- Cooled, 4-Stroke In-Line Four
The advantage offered by the Ninja ZX- 6R’s 37 cm3 greater displacement is significant for real world riding exhilaration. Greater performance across the rpm range is welcome when sport riding, both on back roads and on the racetrack. But stronger low and mid-range torque compared to “ordinary” mid-size supersport models also offers increased usability in everyday streetriding situations, like riding in stop-and-go city traffic or accelerating to pass another vehicle on the highway. Updates for 2024 include emissions-related adjustments.

Smooth, Flowing Ninja ZX Styling
All-new styling is inspired by the Ninja ZX-10R while embodying the ideal supersport image. New front and side cowls create a design that flows smoothly from head to tail. Compact new headlights and an intricately layered front cowl give the Ninja ZX-6R its new “face,” while blacked out engine covers and silencer add to the supersport image and LED turn signals complete an all-LED lighting package.

Definitive Ninja Face
Compact new hybrid projector/reflector headlights are a key element of the Ninja ZX-6R’s new face. Mono-focus LED technology is supplemented by deep-set reflectorsthat make the unlit parts of the headlight appear dark, creating a fierce expression. The front cowl’s intricately layered design is complemented by winglet-style inlets and angled chin spoilers to form a highly distinctive image.

3D Interwoven Bodywork
Like the design of the tail cowl, the front and side cowls use interwoven layers to create a 3D effect, with the multiple layers adding to the high-class design. The bodywork’s smooth, flowing design draws the eye from head to tail and hints at the Ninja ZX-6R’s street-focused supersport performance.

Integrated Riding Modes
Four integrated riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain or Rider (manual)) make it simple to select a level of traction control and power mode to suit the current riding conditions.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Traction control, supersport-grade brake management, selectable power modes and quick shifter are now complemented by fullcolour TFT instrumentation with a number of new features including smartphone connectivity and integrated Riding Modes.

TFT Colour Instrumentation
The new 4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. In addition to smartphone connectivity, the new meter also offers a number of meter features unavailable on the previous model.

PERFORMANCE OPTIMISED FOR ADVANTAGE STREET-RIDING EXHILARATION
With race-based engine and chassis performance optimised for the street, the Ninja ZX-6R offers riding exhilaration in a wide range of riding situations. While its roots give it a high potential for track-riding fun, its street-riding focus makes it the 600ccclass supersport of choice for a day of riding in the canyons or over mountain passes.
