Supercharged Power

• IN-HOUSE-DESIGNED BALANCED SUPERCHARGER: Developed to go beyond the daily applications of today’s sportbike rider, the Ninja H2™ SX SE+ utilizes a balanced supercharged engine that offers optimal output performance in the low to mid rpm range while achieving excellent fuel efficiency.​ The centrifugal-type supercharger is incredibly efficient at compressing air while minimizing heat. As a result of the supercharger’s efficiency, no large, heavy intercooler is required to cool the compressed air. The supercharger was designed to match the engine, allowing high-efficiency operation over a wider range of conditions than could be provided by any other typical supercharger.
• RAM AIR INTAKE: Designed to deliver fresh air to the supercharger to increase efficiency and match the airflow requirements of the balanced supercharged engine. The Ram Air intake opening is 80% that of the Ninja H2™, matching airflow requirements of the balanced supercharged engine, to optimize flow (and response) at the low-mid engine speeds. Ram Air duct was designed to route fresh air to the supercharger in as straight a line as possible, contributing to the increased supercharger efficiency.
• SUPERCHARGER IMPELLER: The Ninja H2™ SX SE+ supercharger features an in-house designed impeller—the shape and angle of the blades are optimized for the high-efficiency engine. The complex impeller is formed from a forged aluminum block using a 5-axis CNC machining center for precision and durability. Grooves etched into the blade surfaces help direct the airflow.
• THE PLANETARY GEAR: Designed using technology from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, LTD (KHI) Aerospace Company, the planetary gear is incredibly compact and efficient at transferring power. The planetary gear train runs off the crankshaft—with speed stepped up by an intermediary gear—ultimately producing an impeller rotation of 9.2x the crank speed, reaching maximum speeds of nearly 130,000 rpm, to produce optimal airflow.
• 998cc INLINE 4-CYLINDER ENGINE: The balanced supercharged engine delivers both exhilarating acceleration and superb fuel efficiency. The key to achieving this balance was increasing the engine’s thermal efficiency by utilizing a high compression ratio. Cast (rather than forged) through a unique process, the high compression pistons of the Ninja H2™ SX SE+ are lightweight—yet strong—and able to withstand extremely high temperatures. A two-stage machining process for the cylinder head (race technology developed for the Ninja® ZX™-10R) is used to form the throat of the intake ports – resulting in smooth intake airflow for maximum efficiency and performance. Hydraulic Assist and Slipper clutch offers light clutch pull and minimizes wheel chatter caused by downshifting​.
