Entry of Rs 14 lakh bike in Indian market, full of cool features, will you buy it?

New Delhi. Kawasaki India has started launching its updated 2026 model year motorcycles in the Indian market. After Ninja 650 and Versys 650, the company has now launched 2026 Ninja 1100SX in India. This sport-tourer bike is mechanically the same as before and its price has also been kept at Rs 14.42 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Only one change has been made in it for 2026, in which a new black and gold color scheme has been given, which will replace the earlier black and green design.

Engine, Power, Performance
Technically, the 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX has a 1,099cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, which generates 136 horsepower and 113 Nm torque. This engine is designed to deliver strong mid-range power rather than high-revving power, making it more suitable for real-life riding. Additionally, this engine is compliant with E20 fuel standards as per the current government emission regulations. The motorcycle has an aluminum frame with fully adjustable Showa suspension both front and rear. Tokico (Kawasaki-branded) callipers have been provided for braking, with dual-channel ABS available as standard.

These features are also present
Talking about electronics, the Ninja 1100SX gets all the rider assistance features of the 2025 model. It has four riding modes – Rain, Road, Sport and Rider. These modes adjust settings like power delivery, traction control and throttle response. Rider mode is completely customizable, allowing users to change settings as per their preference.

4.3 inch TFT display
It has a 4.3-inch TFT display, which acts as the main interface and its layout changes slightly in rider mode. For connectivity, it also has facilities like smartphone integration through Kawasaki’s Radiology app. Technical features include a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which supports functions like cornering ABS and traction control. It also has a bidirectional quickshifter, through which gears can be changed in both directions without clutch. This 2026 version bike will be available for sale along with MY25 Ninja 1100SX, in which Metallic Carbon Gray and Metallic Diablo Black color options were available. The company has adopted the same pattern with its other 2026 models also.
