The 2018 ZX-10R is the road-legal version of Kawasaki's World Superbike-derived superbike, built around a 998 cc inline four with ram-air intake. It adds electronic rider aids such as S-KTRC traction control and launch control to a six-speed cassette gearbox and aluminium perimeter chassis. It is the base model of the 2018 range, below the SE with semi-active suspension and the ZX-10RR.
