Kawasaki Versys Hibrid Akan Tiba Tak Lama Lagi

Motosikal hibrid Kawasaki yang bakal dilancarkan telah terdedah melalui ilustrasi paten terkini. Gambar dibawah, dikongsikan oleh penerbitan Itali Motociclismo, menunjukkan motosikal berasaskan model touring Kawasaki Versys, tetapi dibezakan dengan penambahan unit hibrid.

Pembangunan ini sejajar dengan tawaran hibrid sedia ada Kawasaki, iaitu full-fairing Ninja 7 Hybrid dan naked Z 7 Hybrid. Sistem hibrid ini terdiri daripada motor elektrik 9kW yang beroperasi bersama dengan enjin 451cc yang bersilinder-kembar.

‘Versys Hybrid’ yang bakal muncul berbeza daripada model hibrid Kawasaki yang bakal masuk pasaran dunia pada tahun 2024 – Ninja 7 Hybrid dan Z 7 Hybrid, yang berkategori sportbike dan naked. Kategori-kategori ini memberi tumpuan kepada prestasi berbanding perjalanan jauh, dan amat berbeza dengan segmen touring.

Kelebihan hibrid dalam konteks touring melampaui pertimbangan jarak dan efficiency minyak sahaja. Motosikal hibrid memastikan operasi berterusan selepas bateri habis, kelebihannya terletak dalam keupayaannya untuk mengekalkan prestasi yang mantap semasa perjalanan yang panjang — sesuatu yang enjin tradisional yang bergantung pada satu punca kuasa untuk roda belakang tidak dapat tawarkan.

Walaupun bateri 1.4kWh yang kelihatan sederhana digunakan dalam Ninja 7 Hybrid dan Z 7 Hybrid, Kawasaki menggabungkannya dengan enjin konvensional, memberikan 69bhp ke roda belakang dalam kedua-dua model. Output ini, yang melebihi sedikit daripada 66bhp Versys 650, menekankan potensi prestasi yang berterusan untuk jarak yang panjang.

Walaupun Kawasaki belum membuat keputusan untuk beralih sepenuhnya dari model biasa kepada hibrid dengan prestasi yang setaraf, keberkesanan Versys hibrid untuk perjalanan jauh, bersama dengan penekanan Kawasaki terhadap penggunaan bahan api seperti motosikal 250cc pada motosikal hibrid sedia ada, menunjukkan kemungkinan Versys 650 dipertimbangkan untuk transformasi inovatif seumpama itu.

Kawasaki Versys Hybrid Under Development

An upcoming Kawasaki hybrid motorcycle has been uncovered through new patent illustrations. The images, disclosed by the Italian publication Motociclismo, depict a bike based on the Kawasaki Versys touring model, yet distinguished by the integration of a hybrid power unit, departing from the conventional internal combustion engine.

This development aligns with Kawasaki’s existing hybrid offerings, namely the faired Ninja 7 Hybrid and the naked Z 7 Hybrid. The hybrid system comprises a 9kW electric motor working in tandem with a 451cc parallel twin-cylinder combustion engine.

The prospective ‘Versys Hybrid’ signifies a departure from Kawasaki’s current partially electric models, the Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z 7 Hybrid, which cater to the sports and naked categories, respectively. These categories prioritize performance over extended journeys, unlike the touring segment.

The significance of a hybrid in the touring context goes beyond mere range considerations. While a hybrid ensures continued operation once the battery is depleted, its advantage lies in maintaining robust performance during lengthy rides—an assurance that traditional power units, relying on a single power source for the rear wheel, offer.

Despite the seemingly modest 1.4kWh battery employed in the Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z 7 Hybrid, Kawasaki couples it with the 451cc parallel twin, delivering 69bhp to the rear wheel in both models. This output, slightly surpassing the Versys 650’s 66bhp, emphasizes the potential for sustained performance over extended distances.

While Kawasaki has yet to commit to a complete transition from combustion models to hybrids with comparable performance, the efficacy of a hybrid Versys over extended distances, coupled with Kawasaki’s assertion of 250cc-like fuel consumption from its existing hybrid bikes, suggests the possibility of the Versys 650 being considered for such an innovative transformation.

This resulted in a Euro5-compliant engine that produces 200hp and 115Nm of maximum torque, which is not that far off from the previous-gen model.

Mounted to the same chassis as the previous-gen, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R does come with a new and slightly longer swingarm for improved high-speed stability. This is further enhanced with Showa BPF front forks and Showa BFRC (Balance Free Rear Cushion) monoshock, all fully-adjustable.

Kawasaki Lancar Ninja 1000SX Baharu 15 Julai Ini

Kawasaki bakal memperkenalkan generasi baharu Ninja 1000SX untuk pasaran global bulan ini.

Generasi terbaru Ninja 1000SX itu merupakan jawapan Kawasaki bagi menandingi GSX-S1000GT yang diperkenalkan Suzuki hujung tahun lalu.

Selama ini, motosikal ‘sports tourer’ itu sering diposisikan di antara ZX-10R dan Versys 1000 kerana menawarkan ciri jentera touring namun dengan kuasa seperti sebuah superbike.

Bagaimanapun, menurut laporan di Jepun, rekaan Ninja 1000SX akan datang itu akan lebih mengikut acuan ZX-10R baharu namun masih lagi mengekalkan tempat duduk yang selesa dan ergonomik tempat duduk yang lebih menegak sesuai untuk kegunaan jarak jauh.

Sementara itu, Ninja 1000SX itu akan dikuasakan enjin empat-silinder 1043cc yang telah ditala bagi menghasilkan kuasa lebih lancar pada rev rendah dan pertengahan.

Meskipun info sahih belum dikongsikan ketika ini namun media Jepun, Bike News mendedahkan bahawa Kawasaki akan melancarkan Ninja 1000SX itu pada 15 Julai ini.

Persoalannya, adakah Ninja 1000SX baharu itu akan turut dipertimbang pihak MODENAS untuk pelancaran di pasaran tempatan sebagai model CBU? Apa pun, nantikan pelancaran global Ninja 1000SX di Jepun pada 15 Julai ini.
