2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R - New Generation Ninja

2011 Kawasaki ZX 10R Lead Shot

It is quite obvious technological era began with sport bikes. Electronic monitoring or assistance germination on a motorcycle in the range all the major manufacturers in any way or form, and the sophistication of these systems continues to increase at an alarming rate.

The system S-KTRC traction control is standard on 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, while KIBS is an additional $ 1000.

The 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R price is 13 799 USD.

First was the opening of the door with Ducati DTC (Ducati Traction Control) in the 1098R homologation model, the wheel speed sensors, the system used to measure the differences and respond through eight levels of control. BMW then took a new stage with its own DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) in the S 1000 RR, which uses gyroscopic sensors to increase the wheel speed sensor data and further customize the response of the measurement system. This allowed a much wider variation in how and when the traction control to intervene when the limit of tire grip has been achieved.

But the new 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R, it seems, a new threshold has been reached.

Control "intelligent" traction?

The current Ducati and BMW traction control set-up are excellent systems with a wide range of settings. The only problem is that - even adjusted for the level of intervention - the systems are based on a table set with parameters in the loss of traction at a certain point. In other words, not only when a specified threshold is reached, the system to activate and then it just pulls back power to the traction (or a predefined amount of tire slip) is restored.

This is where the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R and its new S-KTRC (Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control) system differs from previous TC software. Rather than just react to tire slip when it occurs, analyze the ZX-10R TC is on many factors, including the position of the gas (the higher the degree of openness), wheel speed, engine speed (the higher the rate of change), gear position and speed makes sense and begin to formulate a plan for mapping scenarios before tire slip occurs. And then once the tire slippage occurs, the system S-KTRC continue to analyze all the parameters every five milliseconds, and adjust its mapping strategy to optimize the acceleration (which often means a certain amount of slippage tire is ideal) - making it a true racing-developed TC system that can actually predict traction loss and proactively adapt its maps according to conditions.


The flexibility of the S-KTRC means that not only can adapt to the tire circumference and different profiles, you can change to meet the extra energy caused by modifications to the engine as well. ECU and its software are sophisticated enough not use S-KTRC gyroscopes (angle sensor) or accelerometers. In fact, the system is equipped with an anti-horse is able to distinguish between a horse power (limited) and a pilot-induced horse (which is ignored).

S-KTRC wheel speed sensors also allowed to develop at the same time it says the new KIBS Kawasaki (Kawasaki Intelligent braking) system from the world's smallest and lightest ABS, only six pounds - the weight of 2.3 pounds battery charge will be greater than ABS unit. KIBS not only controls the speed of the wheels, it also analyzes the pressure of the brake hydraulic system, and the first production motorcycle to receive location information the main ECU throttle, gear selection, engine speed and use move to decide how and when to intervene in each wheel. The system is claimed to be able to detect lifting of the rear wheel brake aggressively without the gyro sensors, and rates of cycling are much faster than conventional ABS, which increases the feeling of the brake and feedback when the system is in use (unfortunately, Kawasaki did not have ABS models available at the time of printing, so the review will have to wait until they get their hands on a full-test).
