The 2012 ZX-10R carried over the 2011 redesign without major mechanical change. Its chassis and electronics stayed the same, with S-KTRC traction control and an ABS option, and the engine used titanium valves and a one-piece upper crankcase and cylinder casting. The page highlights the bike's electronics and chassis rather than new features for the year.
