With 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650, the company is offering two colours in the palette. One is Lime Green, which is a more traditional Kawasaki shade.
      2026 Kawasaki Ninja 650
      The second new colour has a rather long name. Called Metallic Matte White Tissue Silver X Metallic Flat Spark Black, this new colourway is slightly unusual in Kawasaki’s otherwise traditional palette.

      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 vs Xpulse 210 – New Price, New Perspective

      by

      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 vs Xpulse 210Kawasaki India is making a lot of buzz and generating headlines for the right reasons this time around. We’re talking about the price revision of KLX230 ADV, which is now available for a price tag of Rs 1.99 lakh (Ex-sh), slashing the prices by Rs 1.3 lakh. This makes it a better contender to Hero Xpulse 210, which starts from Rs 1.76 lakh (Ex-sh).
      Last time we compared these two motorcycles, Kawasaki KLX230 was almost twice as expensive than Xpulse 210, making it a hard pill to swallow. With 2026 model, Kawasaki KLX230 is a striking proposition and it calls for a second round of comparison with Xpulse 210. Let’s see what’s what.
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 vs Xpulse 210
      When launched, KLX230 was Kawasaki’s third localized motorcycle in India after Ninja 300 and W175. Despite that, prices were on the higher side at Rs 3.3 lakh (Ex-sh). Now, Kawasaki has had a change of heart and has dropped Rs 1.3 lakh off the price tag of KLX230, making it a much more potent contender against Hero’s Xpulse 210.
      Both motorcycles are set up to go off-roading right off the bat following a similar format. Differences lie in the way they achieve it. Starting with the powertrain, Xpulse 210 packs a more modern 210cc liquid-cooled engine with a DOHC 4V/cyl head. It cranks out 24.26 bhp and 20.7 Nm. In comparison, KLX230 has an old-school engine with less performance on paper.
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 vs Xpulse 210
      Despite the fact that KLX230 is around 30 kg lighter, Xpulse 210 has a higher power-to-weight ratio. Xpulse is more of a multi-purpose vehicle fit to be the only bike in your garage as it has laudable touring capabilities in the form of a semi-fairing, larger 13L fuel tank, longer 1,446 mm wheelbase, LED projector headlights, 4.2-inch TFT screen with navigation features and more.
      In comparison, Kawasaki KLX230 is more off-road-focussed in the way it is specced. For starters, it has a higher ground clearance, longer suspension travel at both front and rear and lighter weight, making it more formidable off-road. That said, both bikes can do serious off-roading as they both get 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels wrapped with dual-purpose tyres.
      Is Xpulse 210 still the VFM champ?
      As it is now, Xpulse 210 is more accessible for shorter riders as it has an 830 mm seat height. Things might change soon if Hero offers a Pro variant with Xpulse 210 with higher ground clearance, longer suspension travel, knobby off-road tyres and most importantly, fully adjustable front and rear suspension, something which KLX230 lacks completely.
      Even with a Pro variant, Hero will probably undercut 2026 Kawasaki KLX230’s revised prices. KLX230 emerges as the potent off-roader that is light and agile. A stellar choice for a 2nd motorcycle. However, Xpulse 210 aims to be much more than just an off-roader as it boasts touring-friendly attributes to be that one motorcycle in your garage that will do everything. More

      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 Launch Price Rs 1.94 Lakh – Massive Price Cut

      by

      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 LaunchedWith KLX230 in India, Kawasaki opened a new chapter in the country as it was the brand’s first road legal mainstream off-road motorcycle. However, the rather high Rs 3.3 lakh launch price made it less mainstream and this motorcycle slipped through the cracks as more affordable off-roaders marched ahead.
      Now, Kawasaki India has had a change of heart and is trying to make KLX230 off-roader more accessible to mainstream buyers. Kawasaki is not offering a limited period discount or a festive offer. Instead, the company has straight up slashed price tag of Kawasaki KLX 230 by Rs 1.3 lakh. Let’s take a closer look.
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 Launched
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230
      Rs 1.99 lakh (Ex-sh). That’s the new prices of Kawasaki KLX 230, making it more affordable to mainstream buyers by Rs 1.3 lakh. Kawasaki is offering this new price point bundled as 2026 model year, whereas 2025 model was priced at Rs 3.3 lakh (Ex-sh), while immediate rival from Hero MotoCorp was available at almost half the price.
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230R S Launched
      The company has also launched a 2026 model year KLX230R S, which is a trail-only version of KLX230. This motorcycle cannot be registered to ride on the road as weight-saving measures ensure no ORVMs, headlights, turn indicators, grab rails and other elements. It even gets knobby off-road tyres and KLX230R S is priced at Rs 1.94 lakh (Ex-sh).
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 Launched
      Launched in December 2024, Kawasaki KLX230 was a highly anticipated motorcycle in India. However, the pricing was salt on the wound for many prospective buyers. Kawasaki is taking a similar approach as W175 with 2026 KLX230 and is reducing the price as damage control measures and to attract buyers.
      Better value for buyers?
      With these new prices, spotlight is back on the KLX230, which is now a very compelling product for buyers looking for a hard-core off-roader with better suspension travel, higher ground clearance and being 30 kg lighter than Hero MotoCorp’s Xpulse 210. For context, Xpulse 210 prices start from Rs 1.76 lakh and go till Rs 1.86 lakh (Ex-sh).
      2026 Kawasaki KLX230 Launched
      While Xpulse 210 comes off as a beginner friendly tourer and off-roader, KLX230 is more off-road focussed. Hero might change that with a Pro variant with fully adjustable suspension, higher ground clearance, more suspension travel, knobby off-road tyres and still undercut KLX230, but it cannot shed its higher weight, which is the core strength of the Kawa.
      Powering the 2026 Kawasaki KLX230 is the same 233cc single-cylinder SOHC 2V/cyl engine as before. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and is capable of generating 17.85 bhp of peak power and 18.3 Nm of peak torque. More

      by

      2025 Kawasaki Ninja 300
      Kawasaki has been updating its portfolio to MY25 versions. This move is to keep the lineup fresh and updated. Some of these updates come with new features, some come with new colourways and some with updated prices. In the case of 2025 Ninja 300, let’s see what Kawasaki is offering.
      2025 Kawasaki Ninja 300
      With 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 300, the company has updated two of its colourways for a fresher look. Updated colourways include Lime Green and Metallic Moondust Grey. While the overall colour template remains the same, Kawasaki has updated them subtly by replacing Red elements with Yellow.
      2025 Ninja 300 Lime Green
      The third colourway offered with 2025 Ninja 300 is Candy Lime Green and it has been carried over as is. Where pricing is concerned, Kawasaki has retained the same sticker price of Rs 3.43 lakh (Ex-sh) and it continues to be offered with the same equipment list along with the same features set as before.

      Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Launch Price Rs 3.8 L – Himalayan, 390 ADV Rival

      by

      Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Launched
      Kawasaki is paying close attention to the evolving demands of adventure bikers in India. In that regard, Kawasaki just launched Versys–X 300 in India with an ambition to take a significant chunk of 300cc to 500cc ADV segment where Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure have been partying all along.
      Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Launch
      Where pricing is concerned, Kawasaki Versys-X 300 costs Rs 3.8 lakh (Ex-sh). This is not bad pricing considering it packs a more sophisticated and revv-happy twin-cylinder engine. For context, 2025 KTM 390 Adventure costs Rs 3.68 lakh (Ex-sh) which is just a wee bit less than Versys-X 300.
      Kawasaki Versys-X 300
      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 emerges as a value proposition as it costs between Rs 2.85 lakh (Ex-sh) and Rs 2.98 lakh (Ex-sh). On the company’s official social media handles, Kawasaki has showcased two colours – Candy Lime Green / Metallic Flat Spark Black and then a rather interesting Pearl Horizon White.
      Versys-X 300 follows the same design as seen on its global spec model. It sports a tall windscreen, single pod halogen headlamp, long fuel tank with tank extensions and an upswept exhaust. We can see a chunky rear grab rail with a sturdy-looking luggage rack. There’s semi-fairing offered on this motorcycle to help reduce wind blasts.
      Kawasaki Versys-X 300
      Features and Equipment
      To aid its off-road performance, Kawasaki Versys-X 300 will ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoked wheels. Ground clearance is likely to be 180 mm and have an overall kerb weight of 185 kg. Ride posture is quite upright. There’s a single-piece stepped seat, mid-set footpegs and wide-set and raised handlebars, making it ideal for both touring and off-road adventures.
      Versys-X 300 shares its engine with Ninja 300. This 269cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine offers around PS of peak power and 26 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Component-wise, Versys-X 300 gets conventional RSU telescopic forks at the front and mono-shock at the rear while braking will be via petal disc brakes at the front and rear along with dual-channel ABS.
      New Versys-X 300
      Features-wise, there doesn’t seem to be a lot. There are no LED headlights or LED turn indicators. The instrumentation is still dated with its semi-digital cluster. The fog lights, knuckle guards, panniers and other elements are not part of standard equipment. More
