presentation of the ZX-10R 1000 Winter Edition 2016
In Superbike, the year draws to a close with winter testing. This is an opportunity for the teams to test their new equipment and sharpen their tools for the following season. During the test days, the bikes aren't decked out in any kind of deco, and display only a minimum of sponsorship. During the off-season, these machines revert to anonymity, looking like prototypes on their way to some exciting destiny.
for the first time, a manufacturer is offering this "deco without deco" as a special series. On this Kawasaki ZX-10 R Winter Edition, the only symbolic touch will be a large white snowflake lost on a black dress. Keep your eyes peeled! In the middle of this winter icon is a Japanese character: "fuyu", meaning winter.
The Akashi-based manufacturer has gone to great lengths to copy and paste the symbolic zest of white onto this dark fairing. A big Ninja on the flanks, a few tapered triangles and you're all set. Kawa is responding to a certain fan demand, and it's true that it's a change from the traditional shimmering Replica.
To get into the spirit of the Winter Test and the vocals of the white-hot engines, an Akrapovic muffler enchants the breath of the supercharged 4-cylinder. This racing touch goes hand in hand with a machine that has evolved quite a bit, housing a 200 hp engine refined with a slew of new parts, the adoption of an inverted cartridge fork, even more advanced electronics and an even more powerful engine.cartridge inverted fork, even more advanced electronics, a Bosch IMU inertial unit, Brembo M50 brake calipers and large 330 mm discs, a sharper chassis, and a few extra kilos.
With this Winter Edition, Kawasaki further asserts its dominance in Superbikes. The ZX-10R richly deserves it.
