Mr. Yutaka Yamashita, Managing Director of India Kawasaki Motors Pvt. Ltd., stated:
“The Versys series has always embodied the spirit of adventure, freedom, and
exploration — Any Road, Any Time. From the newly launched MY26 Versys-X 300 to the
versatile Versys 650 and the flagship Versys 1100, every model carries the same DNA of
confidence, comfort, and control. The Versys 1100 stands as the pinnacle of Kawasaki’s
adventure-touring expertise, setting benchmarks in performance, technology, and longdistance comfort. It has directly inspired the development of the Versys-X 300, which
translates the same touring philosophy into a lighter, more accessible package —
delivering the thrill of exploration to a broader audience. Our association with the Tour
de France perfectly aligns with this vision, as both celebrate endurance, precision, and the
relentless pursuit of excellence. Just as the Tour challenges riders to push beyond
boundaries, the Versys series empowers our customers to explore every road with
confidence and passion. For every Kawasaki rider, the Versys is more than a motorcycle
— it’s a trusted companion for adventure, a symbol of freedom, and an invitation to Let
the Good Times Roll.”
➢ Durable & Powerful Parallel Twin Engine
Smoothest in the segment 296cc Parallel Twin engine produces
smooth, torquey power at low and medium rpm and powerful
acceleration at high rpm. Smooth power delivery and strong low-end
torque facilitate slow-speed manoeuvres, offering both a high level of
control when making minute throttle adjustments and a gratifying
rush of acceleration in the lower rpm ranges, while low vibrations care
of a balancer, and ample top end offer comfortable highway cruising.
➢ Rugged Backbone Frame
The all-new highly rigid backbone
frame was designed to handle external
shocks, contributing to the Versys-X
300’s unpaved-road capability. The
sturdy frame is also able to support a
passenger and luggage, making the
Versys-X 300 a very capable touring
partner.
➢ Long-Travel Suspension
Using long-travel suspension enables the Versys-X 300 to deliver
riding excitement across a wide range of riding situations. Not all
streets in the real world are made of circuit-smooth pavement.Road
imperfections (bumps, potholes) are far from rare, and many streets
are not even paved. The long-travel suspension is designed to easily
soak up road imperfections, even when travelling on unpaved roads.
Excellent feedback from the front end contributes to rider confidence
and a high level of riding excitement, while the linked rear suspension
offers both riding stability and ride comfort
➢ 19”/17” Spoke Wheels with Multi-Purpose Tyres
While the Versys-X 300 was not designed for off-road use, 19” front and 17” rear spoke wheels
give it greater capability on unpaved roads than its larger, street-focused brothers. Multi-purpose
tubed tyres also contribute to capability on unpaved roads, while tyre tread pattern adds to the
Versys-X 300’s adventure- style image.
➢ Large-Volume Bodywork & Adventure-Style Design
The Versys-X 300’s large-volume Bodywork and impressive
adventure styling give it the imposing appearance of a much
larger-displacement machine. In contrast to the street-focused
Versys models, the rugged design of the Versys-X 300 looks very
much at home off the pavement.
➢ Large Windshield
The combination of a tall upper cowl design inspired by
adventure models, and a large-size windshield provides
superior wind protection, adding to long-distance riding
comfort and contributing to adventure-style looks.
➢ Slim, Upright Riding Position
The Versys-X 300’s slim, upright riding
position and a wide handlebar offer high
controllability as well as the comfort for longdistance riding. A relatively low seat height and
a seat design that is slim at the front make it
easy for a wide range of riders to easily reach
the ground with their feet
➢ Wide Rear Seat & Passenger Grips
Complementing the rider’s comfortable seat, a wide rear
seating area and ergonomically sculpted grab bars deliver
superior passenger comfort. The rear seat area is flat, and
together with the rear carrier offers an excellent platform for
securing luggage.
ELECTRONICS
➢ Stylish Multi-Functional Instrumentation:
Sophisticated instrument design features a large
analogue tachometer flanked by warning lamps on one side,
and a gear position indicator and multi-function LCD screen
on the other. In addition to outstanding convenience, the
instrumentation offers a premium feel on par with largerdisplacement models.
The All New MY26 Versys-X 300 price will start at INR 3,49,000/-(Ex-Showroom).
Deliveries will commence from start of Nov 2025.
