Power on the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS comes from the same 296 cc parallel-twin cylinder, 8 Valve, DOHC engine tuned for 38 bhp at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 10,000 rpm. The motor comes paired with a 6-speed transmission. The Ninja 300 also comes with assist and slipper clutch that makes for lighter clutch action and faster gear changes. The bike is underpinned by the high-tensile strength diamond frame, while suspension duties are handled by 37 mm telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking performance comes from 290 mm petal disc brakes up front with dual piston calipers, while the rear gets a 220 mm petal disc brake. Dual-channel ABS is now standard.
Bookings for the updated Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS are now open and the bike maker is also offering a limited period offer of 3 years and unlimited kilometres warranty for the initial customers. The Ninja 300 is currently the most affordable twin-cylinder motorcycle in the country.
The more affordable Kawasaki Ninja 300 comes just two days after the BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS were launched. The G 310 R is priced at Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which makes it substantially more expensive considering it as a naked and a single-cylinder offering. The directly competitive Yamaha YZF-R3 that received ABS earlier this year is also more expensive priced at Rs 3.48 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
