OVERVIEW

The Assist & Slipper Clutch offers light clutch pull and helps smooth out engine performance and improve overall riding comfort. This race-inspired clutch technology works by limiting back torque to minimize rear-wheel chatter caused by excessive engine braking due to quick downshifting. Less rear-tire hopping during aggressive downshifts amounts to superior control and smoother sport performance.

The highly rigid aluminum twin-tube frame is constructed to prioritize mass centralization for a strong chassis platform. The fine-tuned design ensures that firm comfort and stability are strategically balanced with light, agile handling for a premium sport-touring experience.

Whether you're looking for sporty riding or comfortable touring, the Ninja® 1100SX ABS motorcycle's suspension is fine-tuned to make the most of sport touring. The 41mm inverted front fork features adjustable compression and rebound damping, and spring preload adjustability for a wide range of versatility. The horizontal back-link rear suspension features rebound and preload adjustability, with a remote preload adjuster facilitating quick and convenient setting changes (without tools) to suit tandem riding, luggage, or rider preference.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS features new round brake discs (compared to petal-shape on the 2024 Ninja® 1000SX), and a larger diameter 260mm rear brake rotor, offering exceptional stopping power.

New Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tires provide ideal grip in dry and wet conditions for a smooth ride and confident control.

A compact Bosch IMU enables inertia along 6 Degrees of Freedom to be monitored: acceleration along longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes plus roll rate and pitch rate. The 6th degree—yaw rate—is calculated by the ECU, and together with input from the IMU, chassis orientation information is fed to Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software. This technology, developed for the WorldSBK Championship-winning Kawasaki Racing Team, has evolved into several rider aids fine-tuned to enhance Ninja® sport-touring performance.

The IMU-enhanced feedback version of Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) predicts conditions and acts before slippage exceeds the range for optimal traction. Riders can choose from 3 modes of KTRC. Mode 1 is least intrusive and Mode 3 offers the greatest level of control, ideal for wet conditions or challenging road surfaces. Riders can also turn the KTRC system off.

Integrated riding modes link Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) and Power Modes to offer varying traction control and power delivery settings to suit different riding conditions.

- Sport mode enables sporty riding for backroads.
- Road mode offers comfortable riding over a wide range of conditions.
- Rain mode delivers reassurance over wet surfaces.
- Rider (manual) mode lets you set each system independently.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS utilizes advanced technology to deliver superior cornering performance. The Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF) uses input from the IMU to enable a control function—cornering management—which monitors engine and chassis parameters to assist riders in holding their intended line through corners.

Riders can set power delivery to suit conditions and/or preference. Low power mode limits power output to approximately 70% of full power and delivers a milder throttle. Full power mode utilizes 100% engine power.

The 5-position clutch lever can be adjusted to accommodate hand size or to suit preference.

Rider and passenger seats are contoured for comfort that will go the distance. Seat material offers superb elasticity and resistance to cold temperatures for optimal comfort. The rider seat features dense, springy urethane cushioning that helps retain its original shape.

The ergonomically sculpted passenger grips are easy to hold and naturally positioned.

Adaptable, relaxed upright riding position is comfortable and optimized to accommodate riders of varying sizes and a full range of riding situations.

An adjustable windshield offers four positions ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. Adjustments can be made by hand (no tools required) by depressing the release button below the instrument panel*.

A Bluetooth® chip built into the instrument panel lets you connect to your motorcycle wirelessly. Using smartphone connectivity (via RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE*) several instrument functions can be accessed allowing you to view vehicle info, riding log, phone notifications, tuning of general settings, Kawasaki Riding Management, and navigation.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS is available with new smartphone connectivity with voice control using RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE*. Experience even more freedom to focus on the ride while being totally connected.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS is equipped with Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), a supersport-grade high-precision multi-sensing ABS brake assistance system. Plus, an electric cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS features a clean-mount side case system that allows KQR™ side cases* to be attached and removed for added convenience.

A new USB-C outlet mounted to the left handlebar offers a convenient power source for personal electronics.

Chin spoilers similar to those on the Ninja H2® and Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycles strengthen the family resemblance.

The Ninja® 1100SX ABS motorcycle features modern and stylish all-LED lighting that includes:
- LED headlamps
- LED front and rear turn signals
- LED taillight with red LED bulbs and smoked lens
- LED license plate light

Adding to the already impressive touring and canyon carving abilities of the Ninja® 1100SX ABS is the upgraded suspension of the SE model trim. The Ninja® 1100SX SE features a premium Öhlins S46 shock absorber for enhanced grip and handling. The rear suspension is fitted with a remote preload adjuster, for quick settings adjustments without tools to suit tandem riding or luggage.

The Ninja® 1100SX SE is available in a striking Emerald Blazed Green and Metallic Diablo Black paint color scheme highlighted by gold accents in the graphics package.

When temperatures get too cold for comfort, the Ninja® 1100SX SE features grip heaters to keep your hands warm and ready for the road ahead*.
