Info Photos Specifications

With the Ninja® 500 ABS, legendary Ninja® sportbike looks and performance come in an approachable, lightweight package. Power from its 451cc parallel-twin engine is strong but manageable, and anti-lock brakes give new and experienced riders alike added confidence.

• 451cc parallel-twin engine: A liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC design producing 51 hp at 10,000 rpm along with 31.7 lb-ft of torque.
• Assist & slipper clutch: Lightens the pull at the lever and takes the harshness out of aggressive downshifts, and works with a 6-speed transmission.
• Brakes with ABS: Up front, a 310mm semi-floating disc gripped by a 2-piston caliper; out back, a 220mm disc.
• Light trellis frame: A chassis of high-tensile steel paired with a 41mm telescopic fork and a horizontal back-link rear shock that offers preload adjustment.
• Accommodating ergonomics: A 30.9-inch seat height plus ERGO-FIT® adjustability help riders of many sizes find their fit on the bike.
• Connected gauges: An LCD dash links to smartphones through RIDEOLOGY THE APP and includes an Economical Riding Indicator.
• Aggressive Ninja® looks: Sharp-edged bodywork paired with LED lighting, 17-inch wheels and Dunlop Sportmax tires.
