New Kawasaki KLE 500 Teased Ahead of Expected EICMA 2025 Debut

Kawasaki has teased the KLE 500 ahead of EICMA 2025, expected to feature a 451cc twin engine and off-road setup to rival the Honda NX500 and BMW F 450 GS.

<p>Kawasaki has introduced the all-new Z1100, a successor to the discontinued Z1000, marking a new chapter for its iconic supernaked lineup. The Z1100 continues the Z legacy while offering significant mechanical and electronic upgrades. At the core is a 1,099cc inline-four engine, a larger displacement, updated version derived from the Ninja 1100SX sport tourer. This engine produces a maximum of 134bhp at 9,000rpm and a peak torque of 113Nm at 7,600rpm. To improve real-world performance, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/">Kawasaki </a>has refined the Z1100’s engine with new camshaft profiles, reshaped intake ports, and a heavier flywheel, boosting response in the low-and mid-rpm ranges.

However, most of the bike's parts and components are new and improved. While the standard Z1100 is&nbsp;equipped with fully adjustable Showa SFF-BP&nbsp;forks and strong Tokico braking components, the higher-spec Z1100 SE&nbsp;has an Ohlins&nbsp;S46 rear shock with a remote preload adjuster, Brembo Monobloc M4.32 callipers,&nbsp;and discs with steel-braided lines.&nbsp;Moreover, the SE&nbsp;visually sets itself apart with an exclusive&nbsp;colour scheme, including distinctive green wheels. Having said that,&nbsp;the handlebars are wider and positioned&nbsp;further forward for improved control on both models.&nbsp;</p><h2>2026 Kawasaki&nbsp;Z1100: Electronics</h2><p>Compared to its predecessor, the new Z1100 offers a big upgrade in electronics. It features a 5-inch colour display, which offers turn-by-turn navigation&nbsp;and smartphone connectivity, including voice command&nbsp;via Kawasaki’s Rideology App.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-eliminator-ninja-650-versys-1100-prices-increased-by-up-to-rs-234-lakh-post-gst-20-121811/">Kawasaki Eliminator, Ninja 650, Versys 1100 Prices Increased by up to Rs 2.34 Lakh Post-GST 2.0</a></p><p>Other highlights include Electronic Throttle Valves (which enable cruise control and a dual-direction quick shifter), and a six-axis IMU (which manages lean-sensitive traction control,&nbsp;integrated braking (KIBS), and four selectable&nbsp;riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Manual).</p><h2>2026 Kawasaki&nbsp;Z1100: Will it Come to India?</h2><p>Kawasaki India hasn’t officially announced the Z1100 or Z1100 SE,&nbsp;but their launch is widely expected here.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-klx230-w175-ninja-300-more-prices-drop-by-to-rs-30900-after-gst-20-121815/">Kawasaki KLX230, W175, Ninja 300 &amp; More Prices Drop by to Rs 30,900 After GST 2.0</a></p><p>With features like a 5-inch TFT display, cruise control,&nbsp;a quickshifter, and IMU-based electronics,&nbsp;the Z1100 will sit above the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/kawasaki/z900-rs-cafe-racer/"> Z900</a>&nbsp;as a premium offering.&nbsp;It is most likely to hit the Indian&nbsp;market as a CBU and serve as a direct rival to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/cb1000-hornet/">Honda CB1000 Hornet SP</a>.</p>

2026 Kawasaki Z1100 Unveiled Globally, India Launch Likely Soon

Kawasaki hasn’t officially announced, but the Z1100 is expected to arrive in India as a CBU (Completely Built Unit). It will directly compete against the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP.

<p>Kawasaki India has launched the MY26 KLX230R S, a purpose-built off-road motorcycle priced at Rs 1.94 lakh (ex-showroom). Designed for riders who love exploring dirt trails but prefer a more approachable ride, this version gets a slightly lower seat height, making it easier to handle on tricky terrains. Under the minimal bodywork sits a 233cc, air‑cooled, fuel‑injected single-cylinder engine producing 19bhp at 7,800 rpm and 19.1 Nm at 6,200 rpm. Paired with a 6‑speed gearbox and electric start, the motor is tuned for steady torque delivery, just what you need for steep climbs, muddy paths, and tight forest tracks. Low-maintenance engineering means less time in the workshop and more time out in the wild.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-klx230-vs-hero-xpulse-210-spec-comparison-whats-different-120579/">Kawasaki KLX230 vs Hero XPulse 210 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Built around a steel perimeter frame, the bike tips the scales at just 129 kg. Suspension duties are handled by a 37 mm telescopic fork (220 mm travel) up front and New Uni‑Trak preload-adjustable rear suspension (223 mm travel) at the back. With 270 mm of ground clearance and a 900 mm seat height, it strikes a balance between capability and accessibility.</p><p>

This significant price decrease is mainly because the bike is now made locally, reducing production and import expenses.&nbsp;While the core design is&nbsp;intact,&nbsp;the updated model has some mechanical adjustments.&nbsp;These are reduced suspension travel&nbsp;at both ends and the switch&nbsp;from a dual-channel&nbsp;to a single-channel one.&nbsp;Other elements of the bike remain unchanged,&nbsp;and it continues to be offered&nbsp;in two colour choices: Lime Green and Battle Grey.</p><h2>2026 Kawasaki KLX 230: Engine and Hardware</h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2024/11/Kawasaki-KLX-230-engine.jpg" alt="Kawasaki KLX 230 Engine" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The KLX 230 packs&nbsp;a 233cc air-cooled, single-cylinder&nbsp;engine that puts out 18.73bhp and 19Nm,&nbsp;and is paired with a 6-speed transmission. It is equipped with a 37mm telescopic fork at the front with 220mm&nbsp;of travel and a Uni-Trak-linked&nbsp;rear monoshock with 223mm of travel. Stopping power comes from&nbsp;disc brakes at both ends, supported by a single-channel ABS. The bike rolls on&nbsp;21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. The&nbsp;KLX 230 remains lightweight&nbsp;at 139 kg and offers an 880mm&nbsp;seat height.</p><h2>2026 Kawasaki KLX 230: Design and Features</h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2024/11/Kawasaki-KLX-230-instrument-cluster.jpg" alt="Kawasaki KLX 230 instrument cluster jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The KLX 230 marks Kawasaki’s entry into the road-legal dual-sport segment in India. It features a narrow frame and wire-spoke wheels, all pointing to its off-road capability. The front fender is tall, and the headlamp&nbsp;is housed in a plastic cowl. The upswept exhaust and compact seat give the KLX 230 a rugged yet clean look.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/kawasaki-ninja-zx-6r-recalled-globally-over-engine-defect-121260/">Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Recalled Globally Over Engine Defect</a></p><p>As for the features,&nbsp;the bike features&nbsp;an LCD instrument console&nbsp;with smartphone connectivity through&nbsp;the Kawasaki Rideology app,&nbsp;enabling riders to receive calls and SMS alerts.</p><h2>2026 Kawasaki KLX 230: Price and Rivals </h2><p>With the significant price cut, the Kawasaki KLX 230 is now positioned&nbsp;much closer to bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210(Rs 1.86 lakh) and the Xpulse 200 4V (Rs 1.52 lakh), making it&nbsp;a strong contender in the entry-level off-road segment.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-kawasaki-z900-launched-in-india-at-rs-952-lakh-120889/"> 2025 Kawasaki Z900 Launched in India at Rs 9.52 Lakh</a></p><p>It is also an affordable alternative&nbsp;to the more road-biased KTM 250 Adventure&nbsp;( Rs 2.60 lakh). </p>

2026 Kawasaki KLX 230 Gets Price Cut of Nearly Rs 1.31 Lakh in India

Kawasaki has introduced the 2026 KLX 230 at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.99 lakh in India, making it affordable by Rs 1.31 lakh. 

<p>Kawasaki has issued a recall for certain 2024 and 2025 Ninja ZX-6R motorcycles. This step is being taken due to an issue found in the engine. The problem involves crankshaft bolts that may have been tightened more than necessary during the manufacturing process. This can affect how the engine functions and may create safety risks for riders. The issue with the over-torqued bolts is that it can reduce the gap needed for oil flow around the crankshaft bearing. If this happens, the bearing can wear out or fail. In some cases, the engine could seize suddenly while the motorcycle is in use. This may lead to a loss of control or mechanical failure.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-kawasaki-z900-launched-in-india-at-rs-952-lakh-120889/">2025 Kawasaki Z900 Launched in India at Rs 9.52 Lakh</a></p><p>The recall includes several variants of the Ninja ZX-6R, such as the KRT Edition and the 40th Anniversary model. Similar recalls are expected to be issued in Europe and the United Kingdom. Kawasaki has asked owners in these regions to stop riding their motorcycles until they can be checked and repaired by authorised service centres.</p><p>
