The new Kawasaki Z1100 (2026+)

The Kawasaki Z1100 is a genuine Supernaked that takes the raw character of the Z series to a new level. The heart of the machine is a completely new 1,099cc inline-four engine. Thanks to the longer stroke, this engine delivers more torque, especially in the low and mid-range – exactly where the rider wants to feel that brute power.

New throttle bodies, intake channels, and camshaft profiles ensure more efficient combustion, while a heavier flywheel and adjusted gear ratios improve rideability. The electronically controlled throttles enable a Quickshifter (Up/Down), Cruise Control, and an extensive Traction Control system. With selectable riding modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) and a configurable Rider mode, you decide how much electronics you want to use.

Safety is also next-level: a six-axis IMU enables lean angle-dependent ABS and the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF). This helps riders maintain their line optimally when cornering, at the apex, and accelerating out.

In terms of ergonomics, the Z1100 places you in an active yet comfortable riding position. A new handlebar – 22 mm wider and 13 mm further forward – provides more feel and better control. Right in front of you is a completely new 5” TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation and voice control via the Rideology App. Two display modes (classic or with lean angle indicator) make the display multifunctional, whether you ride sportily or tour.
