Delhi : Traction control has been added to the 2023 Z650RS upgrade, which Kawasaki worldwide taken the wraps off of. The Japanese motorcycle manufacturer has been upgrading its whole lineup of 650cc mid-range models this year, beginning with the Ninja 650, moving on to the Z650, Versys 650, and now the retro-styled Z650 RS. 

What's new with the 2024 Kawasaki Z650 RS?

Traction control has been added to Kawasaki's 650cc lineup of bikes, with the Z650RS being the most recent model to do so. There are two modes available for the traction control system, also known as the KTRC System by Kawasaki, which aids in safe motorcycle riding. Because the traction control level is less invasive in Mode 1, the rider may attack turns with greater aggression. Contrarily, Mode 2 is centered on handling difficult and rainy riding conditions. As a result, it works better and prevents wheelspin. Turning off the traction control is another option.
