How do you build the best-handling litre-class bike in the world? First, develop a lightweight, track-oriented chassis.
Then design a super-compact, ultra-powerful engine to fit it. This ‘chassis first’ design philosophy eliminates the “weight” from the ZX-10R’s impressive power-to-weight ratio and gives it the flickable handling characteristics of a 600.
The new Ninja ZX-10R — Top Qualifier.
Aerodynamics
Put a blindfold on and swing a leg over the Ninja ZX-10R and you’ll swear you’re sitting on a ZX-6R. That’s how incredibly compact the 10R is. In fact, the front cowl has a smaller frontal area than the 600. And any wind that tries to resist the 10R’s relentless forward acceleration gets sucked into the central Ram Air duct, making the bike quicker still. Add a few wind-tunnel designed tricks like integrated turn signals and a flush surface LED tail light and the result is a machine that moves through the air as easily as it moves

Aesthetics
The difference between good bikes and great bikes, like the difference between finishing 1 st or 3 rd , is in the details. Details like a 3-piece front fender instead of a cheaper 1-piece unit. Details like a high-quality seamless fuel tank. Or a flush-surface LED tail light that curves slightly over the top of the seat cowl to make the bike more visible.
Chassis
You’re looking at the latest in all-alloy frame technology. This perfect combination of thin-walled alloy castings and lightweight aluminium pressings results in optimal lightness and
high rigidity. Unlike most twin-beam frames, the ZX-10R’s main beams arch over the engine, not around it, so the bike is very narrow. Race-developed technology includes a long stabiliserequipped swingarm and forward-mounted swingarm pivot for brilliant handling performance. The first time you flick the ZX- 10R into your favourite turn you won’t believe you’re on a litrebike — until you roll on the throttle.

Ergonomics
You can’t ride quickly if you’re not comfortable. The Ninja ZX-10R’s ergonomics are specially designed to keep your body happy during the cut and thrust of high-performance riding. The concave tank top makes it easy to tuck in and mould yourself to the bike. And the perfect seat/pegs/handlebar relationship was developed after exhaustive research and intense racer feedback. Like that perfect fitting racing glove that makes you lust for a throttle to twist, the 10R’s perfect ergonomics put you in the mood for slashing seconds off your best lap time. The ZX-10R is quite simply the most rider-friendly hypersports bike on the market today.

Brakes
Class-leading performance demands class-leading velocity control. The ZX-10R runs powerful 4-piston, 4-pad radial-mounted callipers gripping large-diameter 300 mm petal discs, with a compact 220 mm petal disc at the rear. Even pad wear, superb feel and impressive performance are the result.
