The 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R KRT comes with three-mode KTRC traction control and Kawasaki Intelligent ABS (KIBS), selectable full and low engine power modes, plus a cassette-type six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. Other features include a multi-function LCD instrument panel with an analog-type tachometer, Nissin monobloc radial-mount brake calipers, 310mm petal-type brake discs at the front, Showa big-piston front fork and bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension.
