2nd March 2019: India’s one of the largest premium motorcycle manufacturers Kawasaki will deliver, the most powerful production in the world, Ninja H2R in India on 3rd March 2019. The first four-stroke, supercharged motorcycle from a major manufacturer, the Kawasaki Ninja H2R produces once unheard of power for a factory-built motorcycle. It’s truly Built Beyond Belief.
Built with exquisite craftsmanship, the Ninja H2R has the combination of intense acceleration and supersport-level circuit handling. Created without compromise, the in-house-designed engine has highly efficient, motorcycle-specific supercharger which is the key to achieve maximum power and the intense acceleration. The supercharger’s high efficiency and minimal heat gain meant that an intercooler was unnecessary, which also greatly saves weight and space. The whole engine was designed to accommodate the higher air pressure from the supercharger as well as ensure a high reliability with the over 300 PS output. The total 13,000 mm2 area of dual ram air duct illustrates how much air is required to achieve the over 300 PS output.
Speaking on the rousing occasion, Mr. Naoki Matsumoto, Managing Director – India Kawasaki Motors Pvt. Ltd. said, “We are indeed happy to deliver our flagship model, the Ninja H2R, in India. Kawasaki has stunned the world with this model. The Ninja H2R is the world’s supercharged hypersport motorcycle and to deliver one unit in India is certainly a proud moment for Kawasaki India.”
With astonishing acceleration, mind-bending top speed suitable only for the track, the Ninja H2R delivers the most exhilarating experience on two wheels. For 2019, benefits from numerous updates, including Brembo’s new Stylema monobloc calipers, the new “Supercharged” emblem and Kawasaki’s Highly Durable paint. Kawasaki India will deliver the Ninja H2R to its customer on Sunday 03 March 2019. As only one unit will be sold in India in 2019, this will be the only delivery of Ninja H2R in India.
