Updated Display and Design
Modern Styling and Enhanced Electronics
The core elements of the Z900 remain consistent, retaining the smooth 948cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 125hp and 98.6Nm of torque paired with a 6-speed gearbox. However, the bike features an all-new styling that includes a headlight design reminiscent of the smaller Z500.
Significant updates include a new 5-inch TFT display that is Bluetooth-compatible, along with revised switchgear adapted from the Ninja 1100SX. The bike now benefits from a ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control, and a bidirectional quickshifter. A 5-axis IMU has been added to enhance the range of riding aids available, such as power modes, riding modes, traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
Chassis components have also seen notable improvements, particularly in the braking and tire systems. The Z900 now features radially-mounted 4-piston Nissin calipers paired with dual 300mm discs at the front, replacing the previous axial calipers. The tires have transitioned from the Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 to the new Dunlop Sportmax Q5A, promising a substantial boost in performance while maintaining the same tire sizes.
Kawasaki Z900 Price Comparison
At a price point of Rs 9.52 lakh, the Kawasaki Z900 positions itself against competitors such as the Honda CB650R (priced between Rs 9.20 lakh and Rs 9.60 lakh), the Triumph Street Triple R (selling for Rs 10.17 lakh to Rs 10.43 lakh), and the Ducati Monster (available at Rs 12.95 lakh).
