Seeking to “Change the Game”, the all new Ninja 7 Hybrid offers a unique window into a world of
future motorcycles but in a contemporary time frame with the first models expected to be on
showroom floors in January 2024.
At the heart of the Ninja 7 Hybrid is the innovative combination of a brand new 451cc parallel twin,
water-cooled four stroke engine – complete with manual or automatically selected gears – and a
traction motor plus battery; a futuristic combination that offers a number of new riding experiences
plus an engine power of 43.5 kw rising to an impressive hybrid net power of 51.1kw thanks to “eboost”.
In terms of dimensions, the Ninja 7 Hybrid is a mid-size package offering 650cc to 700cc class
overall performance with the instant acceleration to rival that of a 1,000cc-class supersport model
from a standing start (with Kawasaki’s e-boost function already seen on their EV machines), fuel
economy on par with the 250cc-class and button-shift sport riding. In addition, riders can switch
between three riding modes (SPORT-HYBRID, ECO-HYBRID, EV**) that each offer a distinct
riding character as they accommodate a wide range of riding situations.
Other innovations include idling stop whereby the internal combustion engine stops at a halt to
save fuel and reduce emissions plus Automatic Launch Position Finder (ALPF) which – when
selected – automatically selects first gear at standstill plus a forward and reverse “walk mode” to
aid low speed manoeuvring and parking.
