The 2013 Kawasaki ZX-14R ABS

The ZX-14 release at 2006 to replace ZX-12R. In 2012 Kawasaki remained relatively unchanged until this model, the "R" added to the name due to the increased performance. The 2012 ZX-14R received an increase in engine displacement from 1352cc to 1441 cc, and also Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), a slipper clutch, revamped suspension and brakes, and more aggressive body styling. 

In 2013 Kawasaki return with new model of ZX-14R, but for this edition completed with ABS. With technologically advanced engine, the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS is sure to continue its dominance in the hypersport class, providing riders with all-out power, handling and comfortable ergonomics, now with the added safety of ABS.

The engine arrived with 1.441cc, Four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, four valve per cylinder, inline-four, Ignition used TCBI with Digital Advance, Fuel injection used DFI with four 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies, and Six-speed of transmission. The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS engine addapted Chrome composite-plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and effectively transfer heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for maximum durability at high power outputs.

The some new feature for 2013 is ABS system. This compact and lightweight system helps increase rider confidence and helps provide additional security in slippery situations. Front brakes used dual semi-floating 310 mm petal discs with dual radial-mounted four-piston calipers and ABS and for rear used single 250mm petal disc with twin-piston caliper and ABS. This sysatem completed with petal-type brake rotors provide better cooling and enhanced warp resistance than traditional discs, radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting to improve brake feel and a separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer.

Kawasaki released 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS in three color option, Passion Red ($15,999), Pearl Stardust White ($15,999) and Metallic Spark Black/Golden Blazed Green (SE) ($16,299).
