Kawasaki Ninja 300 (2017) BSIV Launched At 3.64 Lakhs
The Kawasaki Ninja 300 (2017) has been launched in India at a price of Rs 3.64 lakh. The new Ninja gets new decals inspired from the higher segment Ninja supersport models. It also gets a fatter 140 section rear tyre on the 2017 model and a gigantic grab rail is also added to meet the new regulations. Apart from these changes, the rest of the bike remains the same with same engine, suspension and braking. ABS a feature available in the international model is still absent in India.
The engine is a 296 cc liquid-cooled, four stroke, parallel-twin mill paired to a six-speed gearbox makes 38 bhp at 11,000 rpm with a peak torque of 27 Nm at 10,000 rpm. Dual throttle valves similar to the ZX-10R are said to give precise control of intake air, resulting in linear throttle response across the rev range.Suspension duties are handled by a 37 mm telescopic front fork with 120 mm of travel and a uni-trak gas charged shock with 5-way adjustable pre-load. Brakes include a single 290 mm petal disc at the front, and a 220 mm petal disc at the rear. Both discs are gripped by dual-piston calipers. The Kawasaki Ninja 300 (2017) will compete against the upcoming Benelli BN 302R, as well as the KTM RC 390.
