Features of Kawasaki Z1100

The Kawasaki Z1100 is equipped with a five-inch TFT color display. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, call and message alerts, and full digital instrumentation. Electronic rider aids are extensive, featuring:

• Five-axis IMU for rider assistance
• Two power modes
• Three levels of traction control
• Bidirectional quickshifter
• Cruise control
• Dual-channel ABS
• Full LED lighting system

These features keep the Z1100 up-to-date with competitors in the segment, focusing on safety and convenience for the rider.​

Borrowing its powertrain and chassis from the Ninja 1100SX, the Z1100 provides strong performance for both daily commutes and spirited weekend rides. Its aluminum twin-tube frame offers rigidity without excessive weight, ensuring balanced handling. The suspension is fully adjustable, catering to diverse road conditions and riding preferences. Brakes by Tokico and Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres offer dependable stopping and grip.​

With a claimed mileage of 17.85 km/l, the Z1100 offers reasonable fuel efficiency for a bike in this segment. The 17-liter tank supports longer rides without frequent stops. The 221 kg kerb weight, while substantial, is typical for a liter-class naked, balancing stability and performance on highways or twisty sections.​

The Kawasaki Z1100’s closest competitor in the Indian market is the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP, priced slightly higher. For buyers in the segment, the Z1100 stands out for its features, engine performance, and advanced electronics, packaged at a competitive price point. For loyal Kawasaki users looking to upgrade from the Z900 or Z1000, the new Z1100 delivers a logical next step with clear improvements in technology
