Introduction
When
passion and technology merge, great literbikes
are born — including the 2012 Ninja®
ZX™-10R. Overhauled just last year, the ZX-10R
bristles with the newest technology, including
Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control, elevating it
above all others in its class. Kawasaki
engineers created an engine that produces an
astounding amount of horsepower, yet maintains
the realibility Kawasaki is known for. All of
this technology only enhances the already
incredible speed and intense feeling a rider
gets while aboard a ZX-10R.
The highly
advanced and customizable Sport-Kawsaki Traction
Control lets riders harness and capitalize on
the ZX-10R’s amazing blend of power and
responsive handling. The system is called
Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control, or S-KTRC.
Exclusive to the ZX-10R, it offers a level of
performance that raises the ZX above the rest of
the open sport bike class.
