In the new Z1100, sugomi is evident both in its fiercely intense design and the exhilarating performance it delivers, radiating as a palpable energy. The look of a crouching predator, ready to strike, meets razor sharp handling to produce Kawasaki’s unique Supernaked riding experience.
The torquey engine delivers more power to riders where they need it most, in the low- to mid-speed range most commonly used around town, in addition to linear acceleration response in the mid- to high-speed range. Also, an updated riding position enhances control, improving the ride feeling in a wide variety of riding situations.
An updated handlebar position, now wider and further forward, brings better response to rider inputs, making the handling feel lighter and sharper in every speed range for a controllable machine character.
Kawasaki’s cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
5” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation lends the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. Smartphone connectivity lets the rider use several functions through RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE.
The addition of Electronic Throttle Valves (ETV) delivers more precise and responsive engine control, enabling cruise control and the latest dual-direction KQS, while a complement of rider support technology, enhanced by an IMU, helps riders enjoy their machine’s sport riding performance to the fullest.
The engine in Kawasaki’s top naturally aspirated Z Supernaked displaces 1,099 cm3 and delivers 11.5 kgƒ·m of torque. The liquid cooled, 4-stroke In-Line Four engine pulls even more strongly in the low-to-mid rpm range—which riders will notice immediately and use often. From mid- to high-rpm, riders will enjoy the strong performance and sharp throttle response of the large-displacement engine.
Kawasaki’s IMU-enhanced rider support technologies add even more convenience and peace of mind to the riding excitement of the Z1100, while an easy-to-read display with smartphone connectivity elevates the quality of the sugomi experience to new heights.
A highly rigid aluminium twin-tube frame, SFF-BP forks and Horizontal Back-link suspension, in addition to monobloc calipers paired with large ø310 mm brake discs create a sharp, direct response to rider inputs, making every twist of the throttle a visceral experience, connecting the rider directly to the road.
Complementing the Z1100’s exhilarating engine character, the contactless-type quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick and easy deceleration.
Looks befitting Kawasaki’s top-of-the-line naturally aspirated Supernaked machine feature sugomi styling elements. Even at rest, the Z1100 looks ready to pounce, tense with energy waiting to be released. This is expressed in the sharp lines and aggressively curved surfaces found throughout the bodywork, engine covers, and menacing front end.
