MY26 Kawasaki Z900: Top Things To Know

The 2026 Kawasaki Z900 has arrived in India, priced at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Following its major update in 2025, the new model carries forward the same aggressive styling and advanced features, with no significant mechanical changes. That said, here are the top highlights about the MY26 Kawasaki Z900.

Powertrain

At the heart of the Z900 is a 948cc inline-four, liquid-cooled engine that now produces 125hp and 98.6Nm of torque - a mild increase of 1hp and 1.2Nm over last year's model. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox and continues to deliver the familiar balance of smooth mid-range power and exhilarating top-end performance that the Z900 has long been known for.

Electronics Package

The 2026 Z900 retains its comprehensive electronics suite. Features include a ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control, a bidirectional quickshifter, dual power modes, traction control, and dual-channel ABS. These systems ensure a blend of everyday usability and sporty responsiveness, making the Z900 as versatile on highways as it is on twisty backroads.

Colours

For the new model year, Kawasaki has introduced two fresh paint schemes. The iconic Candy Green colourway makes a comeback after its absence from the 2025 lineup, joined by a striking black and gold variant that adds a premium, muscular touch to the bike's streetfighter stance.

Pricing Details

Last month, the Z900's price briefly climbed from Rs 9.52 lakh to Rs 10.18 lakh following the GST revision. With the 2026 model now launched at Rs 9.99 lakh, Kawasaki has smartly positioned it below the Rs 10 lakh mark once again - a move that strengthens the bike's appeal in India's competitive middleweight segment.

DriveSpark Thinks

The newly launched MY26 Kawasaki Z900 motorcycle continues to be a VFM 4-cylinder naked motorcycle in India. Also, at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kawasaki Z900 is a motorcycle worth considering if you crave for a proper "big bike".
