Kawasaki Z900RS upgrades and new market models

Entities: ARS Gear · Kawasaki Heavy Industries · Z900RS SE · Argentina · Bosch

Overview

Following the 2026 launch of the Z900RS retro model with electronic throttle, a six‑axis IMU, traction‑control, corner‑ABS, quick‑shifter, cruise‑control and Brembo brakes, Kawasaki expanded the range with several updates. In July, the company introduced the ARS Gear aftermarket parts line—exhaust muffler, riding step, sub‑frame and radiator guard—in black, orange‑gold and silver‑clear finishes. The same month, the Z900RS SE received a major refresh, adding a higher‑compression engine, revised cams, a lighter flywheel and a longer intake, raising output to 116 ps (85 kW) and integrating a Bosch 6‑axis IMU for quick‑shifter, cornering ABS and cruise control.

On 30 July 2026, Kawasaki, via Grupo Corven in Argentina, launched two new high‑displacement naked‑bike variants: the Z900RS ABS, a modern take on the classic Z1, and the Z900 ABS Black Edition, finished in exclusive Black Metallic Carbon Gray. Both retain the 948 cc inline‑four engine, now with electronic throttle, new cam profiles, higher compression and an assist‑and‑slipper clutch. They feature full LED lighting, a sportier exhaust, traction‑control and connectivity upgrades, and are priced at US$25,500 (Z900RS ABS) and US$20,900 (Black Edition) with a 12‑month unlimited‑kilometre warranty. The launch aims to bolster Kawasaki’s presence in the Argentine high‑displacement naked‑bike segment.
