Kawasaki Ninja 300 Launched in India: New Price, Features and Everything You Need to Know

New Delhi: Kawasaki has launched the 2027 model of Ninja 300. The price will be a little steep this time. The starting ex-showroom price of the new Ninja 300 has been kept at Rs 3.34 lakh. That means you will have to pay Rs 17 thousand more than before. But the interesting thing is that even after increasing the price so much, the company did not make any changes in the engine, chassis or performance. The same old reliable package has been given, due to which this bike has remained the choice of people for years.

Are the new colours and graphics the only biggest changes?

Looking at the new Ninja 300, not much difference is felt at first glance. The company has not changed its basic design language. The full fairing, sharp front profile and sporty stance have been kept the same. However, the new graphics theme and lime green paint scheme make it more attractive than before. A large windscreen has also been provided in the front, due to which less wind pressure will be felt at high speed. Kawasaki has clearly indicated that instead of changing the identity of this model, it is working on a strategy to make it better.

Is the twin-cylinder engine still its greatest strength today?

The strongest aspect of this bike is still considered to be its 296cc parallel-twin engine. The same engine was used earlier also and has been retained in the new model as well. This engine, which gives power of about 39 PS and torque of 26.1 Nm, is known for its smoothness and high-rev performance. The assist and slipper clutch provided with the six-speed gearbox makes the gear changing experience smooth even at high speeds. This is the reason why despite the lack of modern features, this bike still remains the choice of riding enthusiasts.

What has the company done to improve the riding experience?

Although the frame and suspension of the bike have remained the same, this time the tread pattern of the tires has been changed. The company claims that the new tires will grip the road better than before and the bike will feel more stable in different weather conditions. No changes have been made in the braking system also. Disc brakes and dual-channel ABS on both wheels are provided as standard as before. The 17 liter fuel tank and balanced weight make it suitable for long distance riding also.

Is Ninja 300 lagging behind in terms of features?

If we talk about modern technology, other bikes in this segment have gone ahead of the Ninja 300. Many rival models in the market offer features like TFT display, riding modes, traction control and upside-down forks. In comparison, the instrument cluster of the Ninja 300 is quite simple, consisting of a combination of an analog tachometer and an LCD display. Nevertheless, this package is still considered attractive for customers who want a reliable sports bike without too many electronic features.

Will buying be the right decision despite the increased price?

Experts believe that this bike is best for those who want to buy a twin-cylinder bike for the first time and keep the reliability of the engine at the top. But after increasing by Rs 17 thousand, now there are many options. KTM RC 390, Yamaha R3, Aprilia RS 457 all fall in this range. Therefore, do a comparison before buying. Still, due to Kawasaki's name, trust and proven performance, Ninja 300 has its own fan following. And it is not going to end yet.
