KAWASAKI RACING TEAM UNVEILED ITS OFFICIAL FIM SUPERBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RIDER LINE-UP AND NINJA ZX-10RR

Kawasaki Racing Team unveiled its official FIM Superbike World Championship rider line-up and Ninja ZX-10RR race machines for 2020 at the team launch yesterday in Granollers, near Barcelona – the final step before the season gets underway at Phillip Island at the end of the month.

Five-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea will be joined for this season by exciting new signing, Alex Lowes. Both will compete on the latest race specification Ninja ZX-10RR in a race livery that has inspired the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R KRT Replica and Ninja ZX-10R Peformance Edition road bikes that are now available to order at Kawasaki dealers.

The team now packs up for the first of the 13-rounds that will make up the 2020 season with the first official WorldSBK test taking place at Phillip Island, on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 February. The race weekend in Australia will start on Friday 28 February and finish on Sunday, the first day of March.
