Green Team fans are in for a treat in 2024, with Kawasaki presenting its revamped line-up for 2024. This time, it’s the top-of-the-range models that get an update. 2024 marks the tenth year of the Kawasaki Ninja H2, one of the few current production bikes that comes with a supercharger straight from the factory. In addition, Kawasaki has also updated its naked sister, the Z H2 SE, for the 2024 model year.

To start with the Z H2 SE, this bike is one of the most powerful hyper-naked bikes on the market, as it features a 998 cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected in-line four-cylinder engine with a patented supercharger. This results in a maximum power of 197 hp and 136.9 Nm of torque. All this power is kept in check by a sophisticated set of electronics that includes various driving modes, as well as a set of IMU electronics that offer safety features such as cornering ABS and inclination-sensitive traction control.

On top of all this, the Kawasaki Z H2 SE is further enhanced with Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension (KECS) with Skyhook EERA Technology. This gives the suspension the ability to adapt instantly to different road and riding conditions. Of course, with such impressive performance, the Z H2 SE also has to brake well, and it does so with the help of Brembo Stylema Monobloc brake calipers. Other features include a quickshift system, launch control, cornering management, electronic cruise control and smartphone connectivity.

Next, let’s focus our attention on the Ninja H2. For 2024, Kawasaki is launching two versions, as before, in the form of the Ninja H2 ABS and the Ninja H2R. The Ninja H2 is further divided into two versions: the Ninja H2 ABS and the Ninja H2 Carbon, which, as the name suggests, has a higher price tag due to the extensive use of carbon fiber.

In terms of performance, we’re looking at an engine similar to that of the Z H2 SE, although tuned to produce even more power – 228 hp and 142.2 Nm of torque. The engine is installed in a lightweight steel trellis frame and the bike features compact superbike dimensions characterized by the same aggressive fairing found on previous versions. The Ninja H2 and H2 Carbon 2024 come equipped with high-quality Brembo Stylema calipers as standard, as well as the Kawsaki Quick Shift (KQS) system and nine Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) modes. Both models feature a TFT color display with smartphone connectivity via the Rideology mobile app.

Last but certainly not least, the Kawasaki Ninja H2R is designed for the most demanding riders with a desire for power. Designed exclusively for track use, this bike takes everything the standard Ninja H2 has to offer in terms of performance and takes it to the next level. As such, its liquid-cooled, fuel-injected and supercharged 998 cc in-line four engine produces an impressive 326 hp of power and 164.7 Nm of torque. All this power is controlled by a set of sophisticated electronics, as well as carbon fiber aerodynamic components.

The Kawasaki Ninja H2R 2024 has launch control, Brembo Stylema calipers, an Öhlins rear shock absorber and fully adjustable front suspension. Like the Ninja H2, it has all the details you could ask for from a technological point of view, although only for use on closed courses.
