Kawasaki Launches 2026 Updated Ninja 300 at ₹3.17 Lakh

Kawasaki has updated the Ninja 300 for 2026, keeping it as an affordable entry into sport biking. This model sticks to its roots with minor tweaks to stay fresh in the market. It appeals to new riders who want performance without high costs.

On the design front, the bike retains its full fairing, twin headlamps, and sharp tail design, maintaining the sporty look. Changes are minimal, with two new colour options - Lime Green and Candy Lime Green, paired with Ebony. Fresh graphics add a modern touch. It carries over last year's updates like projector headlamps and a bigger windshield for better aerodynamics and protection.

There are no major feature additions. It continues with dual-channel ABS for safe braking and an analogue tachometer for easy reading. The suspension setup uses telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear for sporty handling, while disc brakes on both wheels provide strong stopping power. Electronics remain basic, without extras like traction control.

Power comes from a 296cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, churning out 39 hp at 11,000 rpm and 26.1 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. A six-speed gearbox offers smooth shifts for ease of use in both city and highway rides.

The 2026 Ninja 300 has been priced from ₹3.17 lakh (ex-showroom), keeping it competitive against rivals in the 300cc segment.
