India Kawasaki Motors has officially launched the MY25 Versys-X 300, a lightweight, adventure-ready touring motorcycle that slots into the brand’s popular Versys family. With a starting price of ₹3.79 lakh (ex-showroom), this all-new 296cc machine is built to be beginner-friendly yet adventure-capable — making it perfect for both city commutes and weekend explorations.
Versys Lineup Grows: Adventure, Now More Accessible
For nearly two decades, the Kawasaki Versys name has been trusted globally by riders who love touring, whether on smooth tarmac or less-traveled paths. With the Versys 650 and the recently launched Versys 1100 already turning heads in India, the new Versys-X 300 adds a compact, approachable option for new and seasoned adventurers alike. Kawasaki’s goal with the Versys-X 300? To offer the adventure DNA the brand is known for — in a lighter, more nimble, and wallet-friendly package.
Built for Real Roads, Real Adventures
Designed to handle both urban traffic and rough country roads, the Versys-X 300 is all about comfort and versatility. It’s powered by a 296cc parallel-twin engine that delivers a healthy 40PS at 11,500 RPM and 25.7 Nm of torque at 10,000 RPM — great for riders who want smooth, usable performance across the rev range.
The 6-speed gearbox comes with an assist and slipper clutch, making shifting light and precise, especially helpful for city use and spirited riding.
Adventure-Ready Features That Matter
What makes the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 special is its long list of touring-friendly features packed into a compact frame:
- Long-travel suspension: 41mm telescopic forks up front and Uni-Trak mono-shock at the rear soak up potholes and uneven roads with ease.
- Spoked wheels (19” front / 17” rear) with multi-purpose tubed tyres provide extra grip on loose or unpaved roads.
- 180mm ground clearance gives it added confidence for tackling rough patches.
- Large 17-litre fuel tank ensures fewer fuel stops during long rides.
- Tall windscreen and adventure-style fairing offer wind protection and that classic ADV look.
Comfortable, Connected, and Customizable
Kawasaki has designed the Versys-X 300 with everyday practicality in mind:
- Upright riding posture with wide handlebars offers great visibility and control.
- A low, narrow seat makes it easier for riders of all sizes to plant their feet firmly on the ground.
- Wide pillion seat and ergonomic grab rails keep passengers comfy too.
- Riders get a premium instrument cluster with a large analog tachometer, gear position indicator, and multi-function LCD display.
Want more touring capability? Kawasaki offers a wide range of genuine accessories — including panniers, fog lamps, hand guards, and a center stand — so you can tailor the bike for long-distance rides or weekend adventures.

Priced at ₹3,79,900 (ex-showroom), it’s an attractive proposition for those looking to enter the adventure motorcycle segment without breaking the bank. Deliveries are set to begin from June 2025 via Kawasaki dealerships across India.
A Beginner-Friendly ADV That Doesn’t Compromise

Lightweight, approachable, and packed with practical features, the Versys-X 300 brings the adventure-touring experience to a broader audience in India.
