Kawasaki Versys X-300 Price
Kawasaki Versys X-300 is priced at ₹3.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This price makes it premium in this segment, as the KTM 390 Adventure starts at ₹3.68 lakh and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 starts at ₹2.85 lakh. However, Kawasaki has launched this bike in India with local manufacturing, which has reduced its price compared to earlier (₹4.60 lakh).
Attractive colors and design
The Kawasaki Versys X-300 2025 is available in two color options:
- Candy Lime Green / Metallic Flat Spark Black
- Metallic Ocean Blue / Pearl Robotic White
Its design reflects Kawasaki’s Versys family. It has a single-pod headlamp, tall windscreen, side fairing and raised exhaust. The bike has a sharp and sporty look, making it good for both city riding and long touring. The seat height is 815mm and the ground clearance is 180mm, which makes it good for light off-road riding as well.
Engine and Performance
The Versys X-300 is powered by a 296cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that is borrowed from the Kawasaki Ninja 300. This engine produces 40 bhp of power and 25.7 Nm of torque. It is compliant with OBD-2B emission norms. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch. This engine is refined and performs well at high revs, making it fun for both highway cruising and city riding. Its fuel tank capacity is 17 liters, which is suitable for long journeys.
Suspension and Braking
The Kawasaki adventure bike has 41mm telescopic front forks (130mm travel) and rear monoshock (148mm travel). The bike comes with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, but these are tubed tyres, which can be considered a drawback in this segment, as the KTM 390 and Himalayan 450 have the option of tubeless tyres. For braking, it has dual-channel ABS with front and rear disc brakes. It weighs 184kg, which makes it lighter in this segment.
Features and Technology
The Kawasaki Versys X-300 lags behind in terms of features. It has halogen headlights and halogen turn indicators, while its rivals offer LED lights. Its digi-analogue instrument cluster comes with a gear position indicator, but it looks old compared to the TFT display. The bike has dual-channel ABS, but it does not have advanced features like traction control or riding modes, which are available in the KTM 390 Adventure. Despite this, its tall windscreen and ergonomic seating keep the rider comfortable on long journeys.
Safety and Riding Experience
The Kawasaki Versys X-300 comes with dual-channel ABS as standard for safety. Its parallel-twin engine is more refined than a single-cylinder engine, especially on highways. The bike performs well in both city and highways, but is not as powerful for off-roading as its suspension travel is less than 150mm. Its 180mm ground clearance is good for light off-road riding. This bike is for riders who want a refined and stylish adventure bike.
Rivals and Comparison
The Versys X-300 competes with the KTM 390 Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. The KTM 390 has a 43.5 bhp single-cylinder engine and more features (like TFT display, traction control), and is priced at ₹3.68 lakh. The Himalayan 450 starts at ₹2.85 lakh and is better at off-roading. The Kawasaki’s parallel-twin engine gives it an edge in refinement, but features and tubed tyres hold it back.
Kawasaki Versys X-300 Features
This bike is for those who want a stylish and refined adventure tourer. Its 296cc parallel-twin engine offers smooth riding on the highway. However, it is more expensive than the KTM 390 and lags behind in features. Still, Kawasaki’s brand value and the bike’s premium look make it special. This bike is good for both city commuting and weekend touring.

Conclusion
The Kawasaki Versys X-300 2025 is a great adventure tourer that blends style, refinement and Kawasaki reliability. Its price of ₹ 3.80 lakh makes it premium, but the tubed tyres and fewer features put it slightly behind the KTM 390 and Himalayan 450.
