First of all talk about its design, the new Versys-X 300 is lighter and compact than its older brothers - Versys 650 and Versys 1100 -. Its look is minimalistic but it has everything that an adventure bike should have. The front Tall Windscreen protects against wind gusts on the highway, while the slim tank design and wide handlebars give it a comfortable riding posture.
The same company has introduced it in two great color options - Candy Lime Green and Metallic Flat Spark Black. Both shades give the bike a premium and adventurous look.
Now let's talk about its engine, it has 296cc, Liquid-Cooled, Parallel-Twin Engine, which is famous for its smooth performance and Rev-Happy Nature. This engine generates power of 40 PS @ 11,500 rpm and torque of 25.7 Nm @ 10,000 rpm.
The same is added to the 6-Speed Gearbox, which gets Assist & Slipper Clutch - ie gear shifting is now even easier and smoother. The setup is also highly suited for new riders, who are riding Twin-Cylinder bikes for the first time.
Let me tell you that Kawasaki has built this bike on the Backbone Frame which is both strong and flexible. See 41mm Telescopic Forks at the front whose travel is 130mm, while at the rear is the Uni-Trak Gas-Charged Monoshock which offers a 148mm movement.
If it comes to ground clearance, it is 180mm, which is perfect for Indian roads and light off-roading. The front wheels are 19-inch Spoke Wheels and 17-inch Wheels at the rear, with the Multi-Purpose Tyres giving a great grip on all types of terrain.
The Versys-X 300 is specifically designed with long touring and comfort in mind. The 17-liter large fuel tank helps it travel long distances, so that there is no need to stop at the petrol pump again and again.
The same bike's instrument cluster is Analog-Digital Combo with a Tackometer analog while the digital screen shows essential infos such as Gear Position, Fuel Range and Trip Data.
