Kawasaki has introduced the Ninja 300 2027 in the Indian market at a range of ₹3.34 lakh ex-showroom. The all-new model year will feature a price hike of ₹17,000 compared to the previous year, but will share the same design, engine and mechanical package.
It is still a great bike in every way, with a modest increase in price, but no significant mechanical changes.
The 2027 Kawasaki Ninja 300 is aimed at those seeking entry-level twin-cylinder sport bikes. The bike has staged an increase in its value, but no major changes to its engine or performance have been made by Kawasaki.
The engine, a 6-speed gearbox and assist and slipper clutch are the same 296cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, clutch and gearbox arrangement used on the previous bike. It generates about 39 PS of power and 26.1 Nm of peak torque, which would make for smooth power in the city and on the freeway.
A family-friendly design with some cosmetic changes
The 2027 Ninja 300's styling is a continuation of the iconic super sport design. The motorcycle comes with the following features:
- Aggressive full-fairing design
- Dual projector headlamps for LED lights.
- Sporty windscreen
- Split-seat setup
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
- Sport-inspired riding posture
There are also reports of new graphics and new tyres for the new model year, but the overall design is otherwise unchanged.
