The 2011 ZX-10R features Kawasaki’s sport traction control, the S-KTRC. This system comes straight from the race track (MotoGP), and the manufacturer released a video now, which explains the difference between a normal traction control and the S-KTRC. The ZX-10R’s system constantly monitors the separate speeds of the front and rear wheels, engine RPM, throttle position, acceleration and other factors. When the S-KTRC recognizes a small amount of slip, reacts in five milliseconds, altering engine ignition.
The system allows power wheelies while the machine continues to accelerate, but can cut slow wheelies that could cause crash. The S-KTRC has three modes, which allows the rider to alter power delivery. The system is standard on the 2011 ZX-10R which costs $13,800, but the anti-lock brake system costs you $1,000 extra.
