Motorcycle specifications KawasakiZ H2 2020 High-pressure Hyperfighter

Kawasaki has finally released a roadster version of its H2. And what a version it is! Joining the Z family, this almost surreal machine will be the stuff of emotions and engineering enthusiasts. Using the same technology as the H2 and H2 SX, the Z H2 will be the only roadster on the market to be equipped with a compressor. Enough to send you to Mars.

200 horsepower. Something crazy. Akashi's hyperfighter spits out the same power as the H2 when it comes out. Power equivalent to that of an R1 or GSX-R 1000. With the famous compressor blowing in its guts, the Z H2 promises huge racket kicks in the back with every acceleration. There's horsepower... and then there's the way the boiler distributes it. With H2s, it's the big heart that lifts the rider's heart with every twist of the throttle.
This block has been reworked to deliver more low- and mid-range torque. The maximum torque is a staggering 14 mkg.

While the Z H2 benefits from the compressor and trellis frame of its pressurized cousins, it has other technical attributes. No single-sided swingarm, but a ZX-10R-type unit. Brembo M4.32 calipers are used for braking.
Anti-lock braking system and shifter are present, as are a host of buttons on the commodos, obviously borrowed from the Versys SE. All you need to control the numerous electronic assistants to prevent the Z from sending you flying out of every bend. There's KIBS intelligent braking, an IMU inertial unit, stop-start assist, 3-mode KTRC traction control, 2 power modes, cruise control, and a handsome TFT color display with smartphone connectivity.

Based on H2 technology, the meanest Z in the family skims over one of its faults: weight. With an all-up total of 239 kilos, the power-to-weight ratio is less frightening than the total power displayed. It's the heaviest of the hyper-roadsters, but its technology and the character of its presurized powertrain make it a furious fighter.
The price tag will also appease many, but this is no ordinary roadster. A blend of aggression, fury and madness reserved for those who just can't get enough of it.
