Bookings for the new Z300 open on 19 October, and the full spec sheet drops 20 October—so you’re not left guessing what’s under the hood.
The engine is a 296‑cc, liquid‑cooled, parallel‑twin that puts out 39 hp and 26.1 Nm of torque, paired with a slick six‑speed gearbox. In plain terms, that’s roughly 29 kW of power, enough to feel punchy after a quick lane change without breaking the bank.
Its street‑naked look strips away the faired Ninja 300 hood, but keeps the Z900’s wide, upright single‑piece handlebar. The result is a more relaxed stance that lets you take the road at a casual pace, yet still feel in command.
Under the dash, Kawasaki swaps the Ninja’s semi‑digital console for a full‑color TFT cluster that hooks up to your smartphone. Bluetooth, navigation prompts and even a quick‑look fuel gauge make the cockpit feel modern without shouting.
Price wise, the Ninja 300 sits at ₹3.34 lakh ex‑showroom, so the Z300 will probably land in the same ballpark—maybe a touch higher for its naked styling. That puts it right up against the Pulsar 220 at ₹2.78 lakh and the KTM 200 Duke at ₹3.1 lakh, giving buyers three solid options in the entry‑level segment.
The bike was unveiled in Bengaluru, will hit Mumbai and Pune on 18 October, and the official launch is slated for 19 October. Keep an eye on dealer sites for booking forms and variant details—once the price drops, you’ll know if it’s the right fit for your daily commute or weekend escapades.
