High-quality riding feel brought by the "KECS" electronic control suspension and Brembo brakes

The Z H2 SE is a flagship model that achieves a high-level balance between the overwhelming performance of Kawasaki's proud supercharged engine and a high-quality riding feel. While combining astonishing power with excellent controllability, it incorporates numerous advanced electronic control technologies. The suspension is equipped with KECS (Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension) featuring Skyhook technology at both the front and rear. By optimizing damping force in real-time according to road conditions, it provides a smooth ride and excellent stability, supporting a wide range of riding from sports riding to long-distance touring.

For the front brakes, Brembo "Stylema" monobloc calipers and a master cylinder have been adopted. This realizes powerful braking force and high controllability, offering the joy of safely and intuitively maneuvering a high-power machine. Furthermore, the 2026 model has undergone a model change that newly adopts voice command input. It is compatible with the smartphone connectivity feature "RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE," allowing for functions such as recording riding logs.

The 2027 model continues to be sold without changes to the colors, graphics, or main specifications from the previous model. The color is Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray × Metallic Matte Carbon Gray, and the price is 2,475,000 yen.
