2027 Kawasaki Z900 Launched in India at Rs 9.99 Lakh
Kawasaki has released the 2027 edition of the Z900 supernaked motorcycle in the Indian market with an unchanged ex-showroom price of Rs 9,99,000, or Rs 9.99 lakh. The latest model retains the brand's established 948cc liquid-cooled inline-four powertrain, which generates 124 PS of maximum power at 9,500 rpm alongside 98.6 Nm of peak torque at 7,700 rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox featuring an assist and slipper clutch mechanism.
The primary updates for the 2027 model year centre on revised Sugomi aesthetics and cosmetic paint schemes. Kawasaki introduced two visual options consisting of Ebony with Metallic Carbon Gray alongside Pearl Blizzard White with Plasma Lime Green, replacing the previous Candy Lime Green and metallic black colorways. Cycle equipment and chassis components carry over the major architectural updates established during the platform's comprehensive redesign.
Deliveries for the new 2027 Kawasaki Z900 have commenced.
Electronic Rider Aids and Cockpit Technology
The motorcycle features a comprehensive electronics suite governed by a compact Inertial Measurement Unit. Electronic throttle valves with 36 mm bores permit engine control unit management of air and fuel mixtures across selectable Full Power and Low Power modes, with the latter capping engine output at approximately 75 percent to assist low-traction riding.
Riders can toggle between four operating modes comprising Sport, Road, Rain, and a customizable Rider mode that integrates three-level Kawasaki Traction Control with power delivery maps. Additional rider assistance systems include the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function to modulate engine output and braking force mid-turn, alongside an electronic cruise control system and a dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter enabling clutchless gear transitions from 1,500 rpm.
Chassis Architecture and Hardware Specifications
Underpinning the motorcycle is a high-tensile steel trellis frame featuring reinforced head-pipe gusseting and revised pivot geometry accommodating the quickshifter assembly. Rear subframe rails maintain a flatter angle to support thicker seat cushioning, while suspension duties are handled by a 41 mm inverted front fork with 120 mm travel and a horizontal back-link gas-charged rear shock with 140 mm travel, both adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping.
The 2027 Kawasaki Z900 has suspension travel of 120 mm at the front and 140 mm at the rear, paired with Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres, according to carandbike.
Lighting equipment incorporates a triple LED headlight setup with dual upper low-beam lamps and a lower high-beam projector, paired with a light-guiding tube taillight design. Braking performance is delivered through dual 264 mm front discs engaged by radial-mounted four-piston calipers and a 216 mm rear disc, managed by the Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-lock Brake System. Instrument readings are displayed on a 5-inch color TFT screen supporting smartphone pairing via the Rideology application with integrated turn-by-turn navigation.
