Complementing the lofty power offered by the standard WSB-inspired Ninja ZX-10R engine, the Ninja ZX-10RR features special high-performance titanium connecting rods and lightweight pistons designed by Pankl. These high-performance parts, which contribute approximately 500 g in weight savings, were developed specifically for the Ninja ZX-10RR and enable the the Ninja ZX-10RR’s rev limit to be increased from 14,300 min-1 to 14,700 min-1. Raising the rev limit not only moves the powerband 500 min-1 higher, it enables an even wider powerband, strengthening the Ninja ZX-10RR’s easy-to-use character. The changes also contribute to improved engine response.
