The braking system comprises dual semi-floating 310mm discs with 4-piston calipers at the front and a single 220mm disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear, accompanied by Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-Lock Brake System for enhanced safety. Additional rider aids include traction control, a slipper clutch, and a quick shifter.
