Sports bike has been an extremely popular segment in India but the only problem earlier was the non-availability of the entry-level models making it very difficult for buyers to afford them. Manufacturers might have realised the potential of this untouched market and later on, almost every one of them introduced an affordable alternative to rule the segment. Recently, the 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 300 has made its debut with a price tag starting at Rs.3.37 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) and if you are someone looking for an entry-level sports bike this might be your chance to go for it.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 300 has finally made its debut in India.

  • The updated bike is now available with three colour schemes.

2022 Kawasaki Ninja 300

Kawasaki has confirmed that the price tag of the new Ninja 300 remains untouched. This way, these updates won’t cost the upcoming buyers even a single extra penny. For starters, the 2022 Ninja 300 is being offered in three colour shades, namely – Ebony, Lime Green and Candy Lime Green. Now, some of these shades might sound familiar but according to Kawasaki, the graphics have been updated for a fresh look.

In terms of features, the all-new Ninja 300 is available with twin-pod headlamps, windscreen, rider-friendly footpegs, dual barrel exhaust and a semi-digital instrument cluster to name a few.

Stopping this powerful bike is a massive 290mm petal disc brake at the front and 220mm petal disc at the rear. To make this setup more reliable, it will also feature a dual-channel ABS as standard. The ride quality of this bike has always remained a centre of attraction. All thanks to the 37mm telescopic fork and Uni-Trak setup at the rear that feels well balanced.

Just like the outgoing model, the new one comes powered by a 296cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with overall output rated at 38 horsepower and 26.1Nm. Since riders will be pushing it hard and fast, it comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Also, looks like Kawasaki wants to emphasise more on convenience. As a result, the updated bike is also equipped with a slip and assist clutch as standard.

In India, Kawasaki Ninja 300 goes head-on against the TVS Apache 310 RR. In terms of price, the latter is available with a retail tag of Rs.2.60 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi).
