Coming to the engine and performance, the bike is equipped with updated 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine. The upcoming model will produce similar 200bhp of power, but the torque has been increased marginally to 113.5Nm. The cylinder heads in the bike now allow more direct access for air due to new angles of intake ports. The polished exhaust ports, titanium exhaust valves and a new cam profile helps the 2016 Ninja ZX-10R to generate more power at high speeds.
