Ninja 650 sits on a trellis frame that is suspended on 41mm telescopic front forks and a mono-shock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends accompanied by dual-channel ABS. The bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 120/70-section front and 160/60-section rear tubeless tyres.
