2026 Kawasaki Z900 launched at ₹10L: Check top features
What's the story
Kawasaki has launched the 2026 iteration of its popular streetfighter, the Z900, in India. The new model comes with two new color options but doesn't offer any major mechanical changes from its predecessor. It comes in two new color schemes: Candy Lime Green with Metallic Carbon Grey and Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Grey with Metallic Flat Spark Black.
Performance details
It is powered by a 948cc inline-four engine
The 2026 Kawasaki Z900 retains the same engine as its predecessor, a 948cc inline-four unit. It produces 125hp and 98.6Nm of torque. The bike also comes with a six-speed gearbox and bidirectional quickshifter. Other features include a five-inch TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, IMU-based traction and wheelie control, and four riding modes, all introduced with the 2025 update.
Cost implications
Price hike is likely due to revised GST structure
The 2026 Kawasaki Z900 is priced at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), which is around ₹47,000 more than the previous model. This price hike is likely due to the revised GST structure that has increased costs for motorcycles over 350cc. Despite this increase, the new model remains under the psychological barrier of ₹10 lakh, making it an attractive option for buyers in India.
