2022 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX could get adaptive cruise control

The Ducati Multistrada V4 is the world’s first motorcycle to feature a front and rear radar assistance system.

As per the information available, the 2022 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX could come equipped with adaptive cruise control. The updated model of the supercharged sports tourer is also expected to feature blind-spot monitoring.

Kawasaki had joined hands with Bosch in 2019 for implementing radar-based safety features in its motorcycles. It is being said that the 2022 Ninja H2 SX would be the Japanese brand’s first model to come equipped with such systems including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.

Also, as per the new type approval documents that Kawasaki has filed in Europe, the 2022 Ninja H2 SX would have a revised exhaust system and muffler for quieter operation. The upcoming model would also be wider and longer.

The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX is likely to gain some weight as a result of the addition of radar-based safety equipment. As for the engine, the 998cc, supercharged, 4-cylinder engine will be carried forward. It is expected to produce the same amount of power - 197 BHP.
