Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Gets a ₹30,000 Price Cut, Now at ₹3.49 Lakh!
Good news for adventure motorcycle enthusiasts! The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 has received a significant price reduction of ₹30,000, bringing its ex-showroom price down from ₹3.79 lakh to ₹3.49 lakh. This attractive new pricing is a direct result of the new GST 2.0 tax structure coming into effect, making the versatile ADV bike more accessible to Indian riders. The price cut instantly makes the Versys-X 300 a stronger contender in the competitive sub-400cc adventure touring segment.
Purposeful Design and Performance
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 embodies a purposeful design, clearly drawing inspiration from its larger Versys siblings. Its high-mounted fairing, sharp lines, and chunky fuel tank give it an unmistakable adventure-ready aesthetic.
Underneath its rugged bodywork, the Versys-X 300 is powered by a reliable 296cc parallel-twin engine. This motor churns out 38.5bhp at 11,500rpm and 26.1Nm of torque at 10,000rpm, paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox. This ensures a responsive and engaging ride, whether on highways or challenging terrains.
For its chassis, the bike utilizes a sturdy steel frame, suspended by a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, which contribute to its off-road capability. However, it’s worth noting that the use of tube-type tyres remains a point of contention for some, given the convenience offered by tubeless setups in modern adventure bikes.
