KUALA LUMPUR: The energy level at the 2023 Malaysia Autoshow is quite high as automakers and motorcycle manufacturers are revealing/launching new models one after the other. Adding to the long list of local launches is the 2023 Kawasaki Z H2 SE hyper-naked sports bike.

Let us get to know the new Kawasaki in detail -

Powertrain

Powering the Z H2 SE is a supercharged 998 cc, inline four-cylinder unit generating a maximum power of 200 hp at 11,000 rpm along with a peak torque of 137 Nm at 8,500 rpm. The power is sent to the wheels via a 6-speed gearbox with an assist & slipper clutch and chain drive.

Braking & Handling

Braking is taken care of by a much-improved system which includes Brembo Stylema Monobloc callipers, a Brembo master cylinder, twin 320mm front discs, and a 260mm rear brake disc.
