This technology, based on the system Separate Function Fork-Big Pistonseeks to offer greater control of suspension movements and a more consistent response from the front axle.
The front braking also changes. The previous 2-piston axial calipers are replaced by radially anchored units and 4 opposed pistons, associated with two 2 300 mm semi-floating calipers. Behind it is a 220 mm disc with a 1-piston caliper.
The rear suspension continues to use the system Horizontal Back-link with preload regulation, although Kawasaki The spring setting has been increased to adapt it to the new operation of the front fork.
The whole is supported on a light multi-tubular chassis made of high-strength steel. The frame weighs only 15 kg and helps maintain the model’s characteristic agility. The Ninja 650 2027 It declares 194 kg in running order, 1,395 mm of wheelbase and a ground clearance of 125 mm.
The tire sizes are 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 160/60 ZR17 at the rear. The tank has capacity for 15 liters.
