Are you a fan of powerful naked bikes? Then better prepare yourself for the arrival of the 2022 Kawasaki Z H2. This is the most radial, technically advanced and strongest Z ever. It is the new flagship model of Kawasaki.

The strong 998cc four in line engine with supercharger provides a whopping 200 hp and a solid 137 Nm torque. That’s way more than enough to treat you with sensational accelerations every time you get on that super machine. The Z H2 is controllable and an all road force of strength thanks to the consistent delivery of torque.

The Kawasaki Z-range has been legendary for over 50 years. The Z1 900 was introduced in 1971 and was the first four stroke motorcycle that Kawasaki build. The Kawasaki Z1 was an immediate succes. The machina had a four cilinder DOHC engine and produced a solid 83 hp on paper. In reality, it produces even more. The Z 1 got the nickname “King of the Road”. In 1976, the original Z1 was succeeded by the Z900 and later by the Kawasaki Z1000.

In 2014, Kawasaki released the Ninja H2R with a supercharger. This hyper sports bike, named after the 750 cc Kawasaki H2 Mach IV from 1972, turned out to be a real game changer for the image of Kawasaki. The H2R became a powerful eye catcher. It often got presented by the media between luxurious cars and exclusive motorcycles. The looks and the performance of the H2R went beyond limits. The supercharger turned out to be a bull’s eye in the further development of the brand.

So three years later in 2017, Kawasaki released the H2 SX which was basically the touring version of the H2R. This H2 SX formed the foundation for the Kawasaki Z H2 that was launched in 2020 as the most badass naked bike ever. A new era begins within the Z-legacy with the arrival of the revolutionary 2022 supercharged Z H2.

The innovative 2022 Z H2 brings all the fancy and high tech features and know how of Kawasaki to the table. The new Z H2 comes equipped with different assistance systems like electronic cruise control, traction control, multiple riding modes, an up and down quick shifter, a cornering management system, launch control and intelligent ABS. These systems can all be adjusted to one another through the multiple riding modes.

It is a compressor that is used to put air under pressure in the cilinders of an engine. The supercharger’s function is to deliver more power, kind of similar to a turbo. A supercharger is mechanically driven by the crankshaft with a belt or chain. A turbo on the other hand is powered by exhaust gasses. This way, a supercharger is able to provide consistent pressure, also when riding at low revs. So no more ‘turbo gap’.

A turbo gap is the moment on which the turbo isn’t able to deliver enough pressure. As a result, the engine doesn’t deliver the optimum efficiency. The turbo gap occurs because insufficient energy from the exhaust gasses is supplied to the turbo to activate it.

###The Z H2 SE, the ultimate edition

The SE version it the ultimate edition of the Kawasaki Z H2. The SE had electronic suspension with integrated technology which adapts real time to your riding style, riding situation and the surface of the road. This leads to an unmatched ride-ability that’s incredibly stable, comfortable and controllable in all situations. For the real fanatics; the electronic suspension can be personalized in every detail. The Z H2 SE also comes with the high quality Brembo braking system for an even better performance while braking and more respons.

To get even more out of the Z H2 (SE), Kawasaki introduced the Performance Edition accessory package. This package consists of a titanium Akrapovič exhaust, a buddy seat cover, tank pad and a TFT display protector.

The 2022 Z H2 is directly available once it launches officially. It will be available in the new Metallic Graphite Gray / Metallic Diablo Black colour combination. The Z H2 and the Z H2 SE will both also be available in the Golden Blazed Green / Metallic Diablo Black colourway.

Prices will be released shortly.
