The 2024 Kawasaki Z900 introduces some visual changes in two new color options: Candy Persimmon Red with Ebony and Metallic Spark Black with Metallic Matte Gray. Overall, the 2024 Kawasaki Z900 retains its design inspiration from the Kawasaki Z H2, with its sharp headlight design, muscular fuel tank, split-style seat, side-mounted exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The 2024 Kawasaki Z900 still maintains the “Sugomi” design language, which is a characteristic of the Z series. It has added several advanced features, including integrated riding modes that combine KTRC and new Power Control modes, a new TFT color display system, smartphone connectivity, a full LED lighting system, and a more environmentally friendly exhaust system.
The power of the 2024 Z900 comes from the liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder, 948cc engine. This engine produces a maximum power of 125 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and a peak torque of 98.6 Nm at 7,700 rpm, paired with a 6-speed transmission. The 2024 Z900 stands out with its new tire system, featuring a set of two Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires. Additionally, the “Z” shaped LED taillight adds to the sporty image and strong Z personality of the new Z900.
The design around the headlight area enhances the bike’s sharper and more streamlined image. The lines in this area have been adjusted to tilt forward and add sharp corners, emphasizing the design of the new headlight cluster. The fuel tank cover, lower fairings, and silver swingarm cap all contribute to a streamlined appearance for the new generation Kawasaki Z900.
The 2024 Z900 is equipped with KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control), an advanced traction control system that provides both improved sports performance and peace of mind on slippery surfaces. It offers three modes to suit different situations.
This naked bike also comes with 4 integrated riding modes: Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider (Manual). The new speedometer is a feature that has never been seen in the previous generation. Users can choose between white or black display screens, and the screen brightness can be adjusted to three different levels to accommodate various riding conditions.
Bluetooth technology is integrated into the control panel, enabling wireless connection to the bike. With the “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE” smartphone app, riders can access and adjust certain functions of the bike, enhancing the overall riding experience.
There is currently no detailed information available regarding the price of the 2024 Kawasaki Z900, but it is expected to be launched in late 2023 or early 2024. In the Vietnamese market, the new generation Z900 was introduced and launched in October 2024, with a starting price of 320 million VND.
