1/9th Scale
Available in: October 2025
The Subject: The Ninja ZX10R 
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR is a race-honed superbike engineered for elite performance and precision. Designed with input from the Kawasaki Racing Team’s World Superbike efforts, the ZX-10RR is a limited-production variant of the ZX-10R, built to meet homologation requirements for competition. It features a 998cc inline-four engine with lightweight Pankl titanium connecting rods and pistons, allowing for a higher rev limit and improved throttle response. The Variable Air Intake (VAI) system—available only with the race-kit ECU—further enhances power delivery across the rev range.
Visually, the ZX-10RR exudes aggression and aerodynamic efficiency. Its sharp fairings incorporate integrated winglets for downforce at high speeds, while the compact LED headlights and TFT display add modern flair. The 2025 edition comes in a striking Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Grey, emphasising its stealthy, track-focused persona. Marchesini forged wheels reduce rotational inertia, improving handling and agility through corners, and Brembo M50 monobloc callipers deliver uncompromising braking performance.
Mechanically, the ZX-10RR is tailored for circuit dominance. RR-specific camshafts and a close-ratio transmission with revised gearing (including a larger rear sprocket) provide explosive acceleration out of corners and off the line. The suspension setup includes a Showa Balance Free Fork and BFRC Lite rear shock, both fully adjustable for race conditions. Every component is selected to maximise performance, durability, and rider feedback under extreme loads.
This machine isn’t just fast—it’s focused. Kawasaki limits production of the ZX-10RR to ensure exclusivity and compliance with racing regulations. It’s not a bike for casual Sunday rides; it’s a precision instrument for riders who demand championship-level capability. Whether carving through Phillip Island or dominating a private track day, the ZX-10RR is built to face the fiercest competition—and win.
