The 2015 ZX-10R ABS was Kawasaki's top road superbike of the period, built on a World Superbike-proven engine and an aluminium twin-spar chassis. Its electronics include S-KTRC traction control, the Bosch-built KIBS anti-lock brakes and an Ohlins electronic steering damper. The standard finish was Metallic Matte Carbon Grey with Flat Ebony, and a 30th Anniversary edition was offered alongside it.
