2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Launched in India With INR 99,000 Price Hike, Lower Performance Than 2025 Model; Check Specifications, Features and Price

By admin On Sep 14, 2025

New Delhi, September 14: Kawasaki has introduced its latest model, the 2026 Ninja ZX-10R, with a price hike of INR 99,000 over the 2025 model, which was launched at INR 18.50 lakh (ex-showroom). With the Indian government bringing in new GST 2.0 norms, the sudden price increase may cause confusion among customers. However, the company has clarified that the hike is not related to the upcoming GST implementation in India.

The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R not only comes with a higher price but also reduced performance compared to its predecessor. Kawasaki India will offer this new motorcycle in Lime Green / Ebony / Pearl White Biizzard White and Metallic Graphite Gray/Metallic Diablo Black shades.

2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Specifications and Features

The new Ninja ZX-10R delivers slightly lower performance, producing 204–205 hp and 112 Nm torque, compared to the 2025 version’s 213 hp and 114.9 Nm. This decrease in output may push buyers to prefer the older version, which is both more powerful and less expensive.

Besides, Kawasaki India is offering an INR 1.50 lakh discount on the 2025 model, available until September 30, 2025. As a result, many customers may find the older model more appealing than the new 2026 version. Overall, the bike remains unchanged, apart from a reduction of 7 hp and 2.9 Nm torque.

Braking duties are handled by dual 330mm front discs and a single 220mm rear disc, while an Öhlins electronic steering damper further enhances stability.
