The 2026 Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is currently one of the most affordable 300 cc twin-cylinder adventure motorcycles in India
Kawasaki has introduced the 2026 Versys-X 300 in India. It’s the smallest member of the Versys family and has its price reduced big time by Rs. 31,000 compared to its launch back in May. Now costing Rs. 3.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the motorcycle looks to appeal to riders stepping into the twin-cylinder adv space for the first time and is one of the most affordable in its class too.
Unlike the larger Versys 650 or the flagship Versys 1100, the new X 300 has a minimalist appearance and is light too. Powering the Versys-X 300 is the brand’s tried-and-tested 296 cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. It’s a rev-happy unit that produces 40 PS maximum power at 11,500 rpm and 25.7 Nm of peak torque at 10,000 rpm.
The motor is paired to a 6-speed gearbox which is equipped with an assist and slipper clutch. Built on a backbone frame, the Versys-X 300 comes with 41 mm telescopic forks at the front with 130 mm of travel while the rear features Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak gas-charged monoshock offering 148 mm of movement.

Spoke wheels – 19-inch at the front and 17-inch at the rear – are wrapped in multipurpose tyres while the ground clearance stands at a healthy 180 mm. The upright riding posture, slim tank design and wide handlebars are accompanied by the tall windscreen that keeps buffeting low on highways and a 17-litre fuel tank.
Instrumentation combines an analog tachometer with a digital display showing gear position, fuel range and trip data. The rear seat is wide and well-padded, complemented by sturdy grab rails and an integrated luggage rack that doubles as a mount for panniers or tail bags.
