Introduction: A Legend, Evolved
India Kawasaki Motors has unleashed the all-new MY26 Z900, carrying forward the 50-year legacy of the iconic Z-Series that began with the legendary Kawasaki Z1 in 1972. Priced from ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the latest iteration blends the raw “Sugomi” design philosophy with cutting-edge electronics, refined ride dynamics, and everyday practicality — making it one of the most exciting supernakeds in its class.
Design and Styling: The Sugomi Stance, Sharpened
True to Kawasaki’s “Sugomi” DNA, the MY26 Z900’s design feels more aggressive and compact than ever.
- New triple LED headlight setup with metal accents and a sleek, light-guiding LED taillight enhances its visual aggression.
- The revised tail section creates a “floating” effect, while sharper body panels add an unmistakably premium feel.
- With two striking colour options — Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray/Flat Spark Black and Candy Lime Green/Carbon Gray — the Z900 looks every bit the urban predator it’s meant to be.
Performance and Handling: Power Meets Precision
The MY26 Z900’s 948cc inline-four engine offers smoother throttle, 125 PS power, and 98.6 Nm torque. With a 6-speed gearbox, Assist & Slipper Clutch, and Quick Shifter, it delivers seamless city and twisty-road performance.
Other mechanical highlights include:
- Revised suspension settings for better composure through corners.
