India Kawasaki Motor has introduced the 2024 Ninja 300 with new colour options. The motorcycle now comes in Candy Lime Green and Metallic Moondust Gray, with fresh body graphics. The Lime Green option remains unchanged. Pricing for the 2024 model is Rs 3.43 lakh (ex-showroom). Also, the Ninja 300 has been localised in India more than other Kawasaki motorcycles.

While the Ninja 400 replaced it globally in 2018, the 300 continues to be sold in India. The Ninja 300 and Ninja 400 were sold side by side in India until the Ninja 500 replaced the 400 earlier this year.

Mechanicals & Design

Mechanically, the 2024 Ninja 300 remains the same, powered by a 296cc parallel-twin engine producing 38.8bhp and 26.1Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and features an assist and slipper clutch.

Introduced in 2013, the Ninja 300 has remained largely the same, receiving only a few regulatory updates. The bike retains its twin headlamps and sharply styled fairing. Recent additions include a pillion grab rail and a saree guard. Its price point continues to attract first-time buyers.

Specifications & Features

The Ninja 300 features a tubular diamond-type chassis, with telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear handling suspension duties. Braking is managed by single discs at both ends, with dual-channel ABS as standard. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels.

The entry-level performance motorcycle segment has seen many launches, offering buyers options like the KTM RC 390, Yamaha R3, Aprilia RS457, TVS Apache RR 310, and BMW G310 RR. Despite the competition, the Ninja 300 remains the most affordable twin-cylinder motorcycle in its category.
