DESIGN & FEATURES
Coming to the design the all-new beginner’s bike does not look like a beginner bike at all. However, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 is more striking when compared to the KTM RC 390 or the Kawasaki Ninja 400 itself. Apart from this, the design and the features of the BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 will remain the same as offered on the outgoing model.
Earlier, Kawasaki started the localisation of body parts including brakes, tyres, headlights, etc. However, this time the company will come up with an engine that is assembled using local components which might help Kawasaki to regulate its price to a greater extent.
SUSPENSION AND BRAKING
The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 will feature telescopic forks at the front. Meanwhile, at the rear end, it will get a preloaded-adjustable monoshock suspension unit. Further, the braking duties on the BS6 Ninja 300 works under a 290mm disc at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear. Further, for enhanced safety, Kawasaki will also offer dual-channel ABS on the Ninja 300 as standard.
