Kawasaki Z1100 2026

Description

“Sugomi” describes the fundamental concept behind the design and riding sensation of Z
Supernakeds first introduced on the 2014 Z1000. This design ethos has been passed to
subsequent Z models. The new Z1100, as example, includes fierce looking LED
headlights and a new under-cowl shape with fins adding to the aggressive Z Sugomi
image.
For the Z1100 models, a highly rigid aluminium twin-tube frame, SFF-BP forks and
horizontal back-link suspension are at the core of both machines, while, in addition
monobloc calipers are paired with large ø310 mm brake discs on the Z1100 to create a
sharp, direct response to rider inputs, making every twist of the throttle a visceral
experience.
The SE model of Z1100 features Brembo brakes with radial-mount monobloc calipers and
Brembo discs plus steel braided brake lines and an Öhlins S46 rear shock absorber
providing a plush feel and tuning via the remote pre-load adjuster.
The rider view on both machines is dominated by the 5” all-digital TFT colour
instrumentation that also features turn by turn navigation and integrated Smartphone
connectivity facilitating functions via Kawasaki’s Rideology the App Motorcycle including
voice command technology.
Electronic rider aids abound on the Z1100 and Z1100 SE. New Electronic Throttle Valves
(ETV) deliver more precise and responsive engine control, enabling cruise control plus the
latest dual-direction KQS quick shifter. An IMU – with 6 DOF (degrees of freedom) -
facilitates other rider support technology such as KCMF Cornering Management, KTRC
Traction Control, KIBS Integrated Braking, selectable Power Modes plus Integrated Riding
Modes that include Sport, Road, Rain, Rider (Manual)
At the heart of these new Z machines is a powerhouse 1,099 cm3 in-line four-cylinder
100.0 kW {136 PS} engine with optimised intake ports utilising increased displacement for
better Low-Mid Range response delivering a maximum of 11.5 kgm of torque while
achieving impressive fuel economy. Camshaft profiles, valve springs and even pistons
have all been revised and each final gear ratio has been optimised with 5th and 6th gears
even longer than previous litre class Z models.
The flywheel mass is greater allied to a 3 mm longer stroke than the previous Z1000
model. From mid- to high-rpm, riders will enjoy the strong performance and sharp throttle
response characteristic of a Z family member. The exhaust system has a 4-2-1-into pre
chamber-into-1 arrangement, contributing to the Z1100’s aggressive looks and light
weight.
Additionally, a new ergonomic package encompasses an updated handlebar position, now
22mm wider and 13mm further forward bringing better response to rider inputs, making the
handling feel lighter and sharper in every speed range for a controllable machine
character.
