zx10r tft display brands

Naturally, like much of the 2021 Kawasaki Lineup, the electronics are top-notch engineering. The new IMU (Inertial Management Unit) allows next-generation Engine and Chassis management technology. Offering selectable rider modes, electronic corner management functions, and enhanced chassis orientation awareness, the 2021 ZX10R will have you looking like a champ on track days and the ride home.

The Next-generation Ninja Styling showcases an all-new aerodynamic body with integrated winglets, which redirect airflow and improve downforce by 17%. New features include LED headlights, TFT colour instrumentation, Smartphone connectivity, and even luxuries like Electronic Cruise control and optional Heated Grips.

Thanks to its high contrast 5’’ TFT display, reading data will always be crystal clear whatever the conditions. Lightweight by design, the MXK10 aluminium body adds to the awesome look of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, offering a better and more aggressive look.

The AiM MXK10 is a plug & play dash display and data logger specific to Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Generation 5. The dash is completely compatible with the original wiring and comes with a mounting bracket for hassle-free fitment.

The MXK10 features a high contrast 5"" display, allowing you to read your data on a crystal clear screen whatever the conditions. The dash has been designed to be lightweight and with added aluminium body parts it gives an awesome look.

The display is fully configurable and can show all the data you want to see. RPM, shift lights, high beams, direction arrows, engine problems, ABS, fuel flow level and alarms like water temperature, battery and oil pressure.

The MXK10 display is user-configurable and shows all the information you want to see. The dash is supplied with a GPS Module with a 50cm cable which provides accurate GPS lap timing and track mapping. With inbuilt track recognition software. When you switch your bike on near a track recorded in the database the GPS Module automatically recognises it, loads the start/finish coordinates and calculates lap times when those coordinates are crossed. If the tracks not on the database you can create and load them onto the database using Race Studio 3 software.

With Race Studio 3 you can create, modify, delete, import and export configurations with all channels, ECU drivers, Math channels, Display Pages, Digital outputs, Alarms, Shift Lights and all the expansions you need. You will also be able to manage the map of all your racing tracks and compare two laps watching the video recorded by SmartyCam HD cameras.

As a top-tier supersport, the Ninja ZX-10R comes equipped with Kawasaki’s full suite of electronic aids and niceties. The full colour TFT display can be poked and prodded to swap amongst pre-programmed rider modes or to customize one of your own. Once in the menus, you can tailor the power output (full, medium, low) and choose from 5 levels of traction control (or turn it off, should you wish).  Riding modes can be chosen on the fly and are activated by a closed throttle.

The new TFT screen is something the ZX-10 has needed. It features Bluetooth connectivity with rider modes and other features, like cruise control adjustable through the handlebars.

Kawasaki’s Zx10r is one of the most famous sportsbikes of all time, with riders all over the world loyal fans of Ninja power. 2021 sees the biggest revision to the model for a long time and it could be the biggest sportsbike release of next year!

It goes without saying that Kawasaki’s ZX10r is synonymous with the ultimate sportsbike, and certainly on the track day scene, they are everywhere! However, over the past few years, the 1000cc sportsbike sector has gone mad, v4r panigales, Honda’s CBR, BMWs new M1000rr, with more wings between them than a KFC Bargain bucket and more “r’s” heard than at a baby shower, the envelope is being well and truly pushed. It has to be said that in recent years and similar to the GSXR1000, the ZX10r has been pushed out of the limelight… well make way people, because the green just got mean!

There are 2 models for 2021, the ZX10r is the volume product most of us will be buying and the ZX10rr homologation special is for the super serious and well healed trackday guys and race teams. A lot of the features are applied to both models so Ill mainly refer to the standard ZX10r and cover the extras on the ZX10rr.

The biggest change the 2021 ZX10r is its visual one… but we’re not just talking a simple makeover, inline with the Kawasaki Sygomi philosophy, the way the bike looks is intrinsically connected to its purpose, it’s an aerodynamic missile!

The new zx10r has been given shorter gearing in 1-3 to counter that, and from experience, a gearing change can make a massive difference to how a bike spins up, and hopefully this should mean we’ll be able to experience the full power of the zx10r on the road without going double the speed limit before changing into 2nd gear.

The new ZX10r is fitted with a tft screen for the first time lifted from bikes such as the ZH2. This is a really nice unit, although on the ZH2, the menu system had me scratching my head more than Donald Trump after the US election. A full suite of electronics are on the bike, with a 6 axis IMU controlling all the interventions. Kawasaki’s electronics have really taken a step up with the latest incarnation featuring predictive measurements that work with the incoming data and then make assumptions on the immediate time in front, preventing slips and high sides before they even begin… clever stuff!

On the braking side, Brembo M50 callipers are fitted onto 330mm discs. This is a very premium set up. Although like all new braking systems, the ABS can be an Achilles heal no matter how good the components are. While ABS is fantastic on road and a real safety net, on track where speeds are much higher and braking is significantly harder, especially combined with a bit of rear wheel lift, it can be a horrible experience, constant chatter through the brake lever and it can knock your confidence. On the ZH2, braking hard from 150 the ABS was quite intrusive, so we’ll hope for a track setting on the ZX10r where it cuts in less, but the proof will be in the pudding on this. Failing that and for serious track riders, there should be an aftermarket ABS delete you can purchase.

With the new ZX10r, the fact that both Rea and Alex Lowes have literally jumped on that brand new bike at the Jerez winter test and had such incredible results is outstanding. Finishing 1st and 3rd respectively. Rea was 1’38.324, less than 1/10th off his own lap record. When riders like Bautista are complaining and saying things like “they’re treating it like Motogp”, you know you’re on a good thing and I think we can expect very strong results next year from Kawasaki.

So final conclusions; will this ZX10r beat all the other superbikes in the sector and claim victory? could it be ½ a second quicker than all the others around a racetrack? Maybe it will, maybe it won’t, the problem is, most of us don’t need to save a second a lap, we need 10… and that’s got nothing to do with the motorcycle.

But the reality is, this new ZX10r will be amazing, unbelievably fast, great handling and featuring better road going creature comforts than any ZX10r before it and of course have that brilliant Kawasaki reliability owners know and love. Not only do I hope to get the chance to ride one, my wallet is seriously twitching!
