The Kawasaki 2020 Vulcan S ABS Cruisers was built to stand out with its exceptional engine, chassis, suspension, and unconventional cruiser shape. It was also intended to provide a high fit and comfort to help impress the rider’s confidence, making the Vulcan® S especially attractive for beginner riders.
But the S is not your typical cruiser. It is distinguished by its parallel-twin engines, unique chassis and suspension configuration, and exotic appearance. The Vulcan S, unlike any other cruiser, is designed to accommodate a wide range of riders. This bike takes comfort, adaptability and the power and performance gained from Ninja to the next level without sacrificing its aesthetic features.
The Vulcan S has the same low-slot as a large-bore Vulcan cruiser, but with the power and handling derived from the Ninja, as well as the famous ERGO-FITTM shaping system, aimed at comfort for a variety of riders. ۔. The Kawasaki 2020 Vulcan S ABS Cruisers returns to 2020 with Kawasaki’s user-friendly and customized ERGO-FIT, which allows for a total of 18 combination changes by modifying motorcycle seats, foot packs, and handlebars. It enables three seat options, three different foot peg placement options, and two variable reach handlebars for increased comfort and riding space.
Kawasaki 2020 Vulcan S ABS Cruisers – Features and Price
Engine
The new Kawasaki 2020 Vulcan S ABS Cruisers comes with DOHC, 8-valve, with liquid-cooled 649cc parallel-twin fuel injection produces smooth, responsive performance, especially at low and medium rpm. The engine based on the Ninja® 650 has been redesigned for power features for more riders, giving beginner riders more confidence. The Vulcan S provides smooth speed and a pleasant moment while being faster than paused. Helpful in merging and passing high-speed highways.
Intake ports, camshaft profiles, and long-type intake funnels contribute to smooth speed and pleasant moment sensation. The design of the under-engine muffler adds high torque in the low to medium RPM band, which helps handle the engine at low speeds. The parallel-twin engine is small, which helps keep the overall proportions of the motorbike modest and agile. The 180-degree crankshaft and balance shaft make the engine run smoothly.
The engine is tiny from front to rear due to the triangular crank and the transmission shaft configuration. A semi-dry sump (KP) oil system reduces the total height of the engine. And the slight pitch of the chrome composite (KP) plated aluminum cylinder helps to reduce the engine width.
Positive Neutral Finder (KP)
At one stop, shift pedals above the first gear to select neutral. It is just a Kawasaki item.
Digital Fuel Injection (KP)
Fuel injection settings contribute to the rapid recovery of the engine by providing a smooth low-end response. Sub-throttle valves (KP) are used in dual 38mm Keihin throttle bodies for maximum power output and smooth, sensitive throttle response. The ECU controls the sub-throttle behind the main throttle valves to ensure a smooth throttle response in the EFI system.
Emissions are significantly reduced when the exact fuel injection is combined with the exhaust catalyzer. For better speed, combustion, and fuel consumption, fine atomizing fuel injectors emit a fine fuel fog.
Suspension
Ride comfort is preferred in both front and rear suspension settings. Offset Le Down Single Shock Rear Suspension allows for a longer stroke and better riding comfort. The compact shape of the motorcycle is supported by the rear suspension configuration, which provides space for a large-volume silencer under the engine. The preload on the rear shock can be adjusted in seven different ways depending on the size and payload of the rider.
Brakes
A two-piston caliper grips a large 300mm front disc, while a single-piston caliper grabs a 250mm rear disc. The brakes have a lot of stopping power.
Customers wishing for a high level of reassurance in braking performance can opt for vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), which in some cases provide braking assistance. The lightweight ABS unit is hidden behind the rear shocks, ensuring a sleek structure under the seat.
Frame
Due to the small engine, a slim, minimal frame can be used, resulting in a tight design at the knees and ankles. The frame’s rigidity was improved using 3D analysis, resulting in better handling features. For strength and lightness, it is made of high tensile steel. Due to the design of the offset single-shock rear suspension, the battery can be placed side by side instead of under the shock. This attractive design allows for low seat height and slim shape. The exhaust is kept as close to the engine as possible, allowing a thin chassis and unlimited access to the ground.
The low weight and low center of gravity of the Vulcan S make it highly active, whether you are riding, pushing from the parking lot, or riding a motorcycle. Thanks to the thin backbone-style rear frame construction, all components can be placed close to the bike’s centerline. Instead of seat rails, a single beam made of intersecting C-section components is used. The sleek shape allows for a more comfortable setting.
