Engine & Chassis: More Power, More Control
At the heart of the Z900 sits a 948cc in-line four-cylinder engine, known for its high-revving character and strong mid-range punch. Kawasaki has updated the electronic throttle valves, reducing CO₂ emissions to 117g/km and improving fuel efficiency by 16%.
The lightweight trellis frame has been fine-tuned for better rigidity, while the revised suspension settings and new Dunlop tyres enhance stability, especially while cornering. The radial-mounted 4-piston calipers up front and updated rear disc further boost braking confidence.
Sugomi Styling Gets Sharper
Staying true to Kawasaki’s Sugomi design philosophy, the MY25 Z900 gets a more aggressive stance with a new triple-LED headlight setup, metallic shrouds engraved with the Z logo, and a 3D-effect LED taillight that appears to float. The revised tail cowl and reduced plastic use add to its premium feel.
Electronics: Fully Loaded with Rider Aids
This update brings a full suite of tech upgrades:
- 5-inch TFT Display: Switchable layouts with smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP
- KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter): Clutchless upshifts and downshifts for smoother city and sport riding
- KTRC & KCMF: Traction and cornering management with IMU feedback
- Cruise Control: For fatigue-free highway rides
- Turn-by-Turn Navigation: A first for any Kawasaki motorcycle in India
All this tech not only enhances the riding experience but brings the Z900 closer to litre-class territory in terms of features.
