Kawasaki's ZX-10R superbike family gets a Euro5+ update, including striking new winglets. The 2026 models feature a heavily revised aero package with large winglets at the front of the fairing, generating 25% more downforce than the previous model. The inline-four motor remains largely unchanged but meets Euro5+ standards with subtle tweaks, including a second O2 sensor. The ZX-10RR also boasts Pankl rods, Pankl pistons, and braided front brake hoses. The suspension, chassis geometry, and Öhlins steering damper have been slightly adjusted to enhance traction and handling. Braking power is enhanced by Brembo M50 monobloc calipers and 330mm discs. Electronics include a comprehensive suite of rider aids, such as cornering management, traction control, ABS, launch control, integrated braking, and integrated braking control. New features include cruise control and turn-by-turn navigation, with all information displayed on a larger, five-inch TFT dash that offers phone connectivity via Kawasaki's Rideology app. Pricing is yet to be announced, but the updated models will be available in Spring 2026.
