What are the changes in the 2022 Kawasaki 400?
1 Answers
Kawasaki's 2022 Ninja 400, compared to the current model, introduces two new color options: 'Twilight Blue' and 'Deep Gray,' but there are no changes in configuration. It continues to feature the unrestricted ECU, with a top speed of 187 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.99 seconds. It produces 46 horsepower and 37.2 Nm of torque, with standard ABS and a slipper clutch. The advantages of the Kawasaki Ninja 400 are as follows: 1. Excellent cornering performance: As a middleweight model in the Ninja series, the 400 offers outstanding cornering responsiveness. Whether navigating tight city corners or tackling continuous hairpins on mountain roads, it delivers agile reactions while maintaining stability. 2. Slipper clutch: The Ninja 400 is equipped with a slipper clutch, effectively reducing engine braking-induced jerks during downshifts, minimizing impact on vehicle dynamics, and making clutch operation easier. Even during long rides with frequent clutch use, fatigue is minimized. 3. Comfortable riding position: The Ninja 400's riding position is not as aggressive as a purebred sportbike but strikes a balance between daily commuting and sport riding. With an accessible 785mm seat height, slightly lowered footpegs, and higher handlebars, it remains comfortable even for pure commuting. 4. Ample power: The Ninja 400 is powered by a liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering 45 horsepower at 10,000 rpm. Combined with a 168 kg curb weight, it boasts an excellent power-to-weight ratio in its class, offering brisk acceleration. The power delivery is particularly smooth in the high rev range, and thanks to the twin-cylinder engine, it maintains solid torque performance at low revs.
