The ZX-10R has an aluminum twin-spar frame, Showa Balance Free Front Fork (BFF), and horizontal back-link rear suspension with a Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock. Riders can connect to the high-grade TFT (thin film transistor) color instrumentation with their smartphone via the Rideology app.

The 2024 model has integrated winglets in the bodywork for improved aerodynamics, offering improved drag resistance and an increase in downforce. A recently introduced air-cooled oil cooler increases cooling and boosts engine performance.
