Drawing inspiration from its elder siblings like the ZX-6R or ZX-10R, the Ninja 500 showcases a familiar and dynamic design, highlighted by an aggressive fascia with a signature split headlamp setup. Moreover, it gets a compact windscreen, sharp contours on the front fender and fairing, a raised tail section, split seating, and a clip-on handlebar.
The liquid-cooled 451cc parallel-twin engine belts out 44.38 bhp and 42.6 Nm of torque.
While retaining the steel trellis frame and fuel tank from the Ninja 400, the Ninja 500 houses a more potent engine.

Featuring a 58.6 mm stroke and a retained 70 mm bore, the engine pairs with a 6-speed gearbox.

On the mechanical front, the full-faired motorcycle maintains a 41 mm telescopic front fork setup with 121 mm travel and a gas-charged monoshock at the rear with 130 mm wheel travel. Braking is facilitated by 310 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes. With a wheelbase of 1375 mm and a seat height of 785 mm, the bike weighs 171 kg and measures 1995 mm in length, 730 mm in width, and 1120 mm in height, with a fuel tank capacity of 14 litres.
