In the video below, Kawasaki’s Kevin Allen explains an innovative new idea in the Ergo-Fit concept, seen on the 2015 Vulcan S. To accommodate a wide variety of rider sizes, the Ergo-Fit concept is a system in which participating Kawasaki dealers can tailor the Vulcan S to suit the individual’s body type, free of charge, at time of purchase. This is done by moving pegs, adjusting bars, and, in some cases, replacing the seat with a unit that either moves the rider closer or further away from the bars.

The Vulcan S is new in the cruiser category from Kawasaki. Aiming at a younger demographic, its styling is modern and fresh. Powered by the same parallel-Twin engine seen in the Ninja and Versys 650s, it provides manageable power both novices and experienced riders will appreciate. But perhaps its most noteworthy feature is the Ergo-Fit concept. Check it out below.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
