In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ninja 300 ABS KRT Edition, a motorcycle that packed many of the same performance features as larger Ninja models, such as a digital fuel injection system and an F.C.C. slipper assist clutch that reduced lever effort of up to 25 percent.
The bike was propelled by a lightweight, compact, and potent engine matched by a chassis with nimble handling and balanced suspension that offered a smooth ride but also fitted with the latest available technology.
Also, the bike rolled on a set of 10-spoke wheels with a sleek appearance, a six-speed manual transmission with a roller-type shift drum for smooth operation and strong gears for durability, and a Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) that featured a special deflector in the back of the radiator to direct the air underneath the motorcycle instead of blowing it to the rider.
The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja ABS KRT Edition took its thrust from a 296cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 39 hp with a peak at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
For braking performance, the bike packed a single 290 mm petal disc with a two-piston caliper on the front and a 220 mm petal disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the rear, coupled to a Nissin ABS unit that came in a small and compact package.
