Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid: A Revolutionary Hybrid Motorcycle
Kawasaki has recently introduced the world to its latest innovation, the Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid. This groundbreaking motorcycle model is the first of its kind, boasting a petrol-electric hybrid engine designed specifically for large-displacement bikes.
The Ninja 7 Hybrid comes in a striking silver and black color scheme, with the iconic green lower part that has become synonymous with Kawasaki.
While the Ninja 7 Hybrid shares a design resemblance with the Ninja 650, several elements have been fine-tuned to accommodate the hybrid drivetrain. Notably, it features a TFT digital screen that seamlessly connects to smartphones.
This remarkable motorcycle utilizes tires similar to the Ninja 400, potentially employing the Dunlop Sportmax Q5A variant with a size of 120/70ZR17 for the front wheel and 160/60ZR17 for the rear. The front brake consists of a dual disc with Nissin 2-piston calipers, akin to the Ninja 650. In contrast, the rear brake integrates a single disc with Nissin 2-piston calipers, deviating from the 1-piston type found in the Ninja 650.
Powering the Ninja 7 Hybrid is a formidable 451cc liquid-cooled 2-cylinder petrol engine combined with an electric motor, resulting in an overall output of 69 horsepower.
To ensure optimal weight distribution, both the electric motor and the 48V lithium-ion battery are centrally positioned within the motorcycle.
According to Kawasaki, the Ninja 7 Hybrid offers “instant acceleration on par with 1000cc supersport models” when leveraging the electric motor’s power-assist function. Yet, it remains fuel-efficient, akin to 250cc bikes.
This exceptional hybrid motorcycle model presents three distinct riding modes: Sport-Hybrid, Eco-Hybrid, and EV2. Furthermore, the engine incorporates Start/Stop technology, enabling riders to choose between automatic AT or manual MT selection.
The anticipated release date for the Ninja 7 Hybrid is in early 2024. Stay tuned for the official price announcement of this extraordinary motorcycle.
