With a power unit that combines a 451cc internal combustion engine and a compact electric traction motor, the world's first¹ strong hybrid² motorcycle offers riders a number of new riding experiences: a mid-size package with the instant acceleration of a 1,000cc-class supersport model from a standing start (with e-boost), fuel economy on par with smaller displacement models, and button-shift sport riding. Following on the heels of Kawasaki's game-changing Ninja® 7 Hybrid, the Z7 Hybrid, with three different drive modes each offering a distinct riding character and numerous innovative features for riders to explore, is truly part of a new era in riding experience.

STRONG HYBRID POWERThe world's first¹ strong hybrid² motorcycle is taking the streets by storm, combining a 451cc internal combustion engine and a compact electric traction motor. This supernaked offers plenty of new riding experiences with the instant acceleration of a 1,000cc-class supersport model from a standing start (with e-boost), fuel economy similar to smaller displacement models, and button-shift sport riding.
HANDLINGInspired by conventional sport motorcycle chassis design, all the components of the hybrid power unit (ICE, traction motor, battery pack, ISG) are carefully arranged in a lightweight trellis frame to achieve the light, nimble handling that Kawasaki sport motorcycles are known for.
STYLINGBlending the sharp, aggressive looks of a Z supernaked with the clean, high-class image of a hybrid machine, the Z7 Hybrid ABS motorcycle's strong, muscular design highlights its street riding potential while leaving a powerful impression.
