India Kawasaki Motors commenced deliveries of the
all-new 2019 Yamaha Ninja ZX-6R Supersport from the first week of this month. India Kawasaki Motors announced
the pre-bookings of the Ninja ZX-6R in November 2018 and launched it on 15
January 2019. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R has been introduced at an introductory
price of INR 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom India). The motorcycle features an updated
design and electronics suite.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is brought to the country
via the CKD route and is locally assembled at the company’s facility in Chakan,
Pune. The motorcycle has been aggressively priced in the ‘Supersport’ category
and comes equipped with LED headlights as standard. The Ninja ZX-6R features
the company’s latest Sugomi design philosophy, which can be seen on bikes like
the Ninja H2, ZX-10R, Ninja 400 and others.
Powering the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is a 636 cc inline
four-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that produces 130 PS of maximum power
at 13,500 rpm and 70.8 Nm of peak torque at 11,000 rpm. The motor transfers
control to the wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. The Ninja ZX-6R drops anchors with
the help of twin semi-floating 310 mm petal discs up front with
radially-mounted 4-piston monobloc callipers and a single 220 mm petal disc
with a single-bore pin-slide aluminium calliper at the back.
Electronics wizardry on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
includes Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), 3-mode Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC),
Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) and Power Mode selection.
The motorcycle features Showa SFF-BP upside-down front forks and a
fully-adjustable rear mono-shock. Its six-spoke lightweight alloy wheels are
wrapped in Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tyres.
