Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX launched in India: Here’s what you get at Rs 13.49 lakh – Bike News

There are no direct rivals of Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX in India but it could go up against the Triumph Tiger 900 GT which is priced at Rs 13.95 lakh (ex-showroom).

Kawasaki has brought in another Ninja to the fold. This time it’s the Ninja 1100SX which carries forward the legacy of the sports touring range of the Japanese superbike brand. Priced at Rs 13.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ninja 1100SX is a direct successor to the outgoing Ninja SX1000.

As of now, Kawasaki has only listed the motorcycle on its official Indian website. There are no clear details regarding its bookings and deliveries but we expect dispatches to begin from January 2025. Available in only the standard trim, Kawasaki is offering the Ninja 1100SX in a sole dual-tone Metallic Carbon Grey/Metallic Diablo Black.

Visually, there’s nothing much to differentiate from its predecessor. The design cues have been taken from the rest of the Ninja lineup which include a sharp front fairing with the twin LED headlights, a muscular front fairing, an adjustable windscreen, and a floating tail section with split seats and split grab handles.

The biggest difference lies underneath with the new 1,099cc, inline-four replacing the 1,043cc motor from the 1000SX. The new motor makes 134 bhp at 9,000rpm and a peak torque of 113 Nm at 7,600rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. The torque has been bumped up by 2 Nm from the previous model. Additionally, Kawasaki has adjusted the gearing, lengthening 5th and 6th gears for enhanced comfort during long rides and improved fuel economy.

As for hardware, the chassis is the same as the 1000SX which sits on 41mm inverted forks with compression, rebound and preload adjustability, and a monoshock with rebound and preload adjustability. Braking duties are handled by dual 300mm front disc brakes and a 10mm larger 260mm rotor at the rear aided by dual-channel ABS. The sports bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels shod with new Bridgestone Battlax S23 tyres.
