Kawasaki has updated the Ninja ZX-10R for the Indian market. The new iteration of the supersport has been launched at a starting price of Rs 19.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This reflects a hike of Rs 99,000 over the previous model year sold in the country. This iteration of the bike remains unchanged in its design. However, the Japanese automaker has altered the power output of the machine.
Diving into the details, the 2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R features the same 998cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a six-speed transmission. However, the power output is now rated at 193 hp at 13,000 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 11,400 rpm. This is a drop of 7 hp and 2.9 Nm compared to the MY25 model. Meanwhile, the rest of the mechanical elements continue to be the same.
