Kawasaki Launches 2026 Ninja ZX-10R in India With Price Hike, Lower Output

A discounted 2025 ZX-10R with higher output presents a stronger value proposition versus the costlier 2026 update.

Overview

  • Priced at Rs 19.49 lakh ex-showroom, the 2026 ZX-10R costs about Rs 99,000 more than the 2025 model.
  • The new bike is rated at roughly 193 bhp and 112 Nm, down from the earlier model’s about 200 bhp and 114.9 Nm, with no official explanation for the drop.
  • Core hardware and electronics carry over, including Showa BFF forks, a Showa BFRC rear monoshock, dual 330 mm front discs with Brembo calipers, TFT display, riding modes, cruise control, launch control, traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
  • Kawasaki continues to list the 2025 ZX-10R, with media-reported dealer discounts of up to Rs 1.5 lakh for a limited period.
  • Reports also note the possibility of price increases after September 22 due to tax changes, adding urgency to dealer offers on remaining 2025 stock.
