Kawasaki has launched the 2026 iteration of the Versys-X 300 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.49 lakh, making it approximately Rs 31,000 more affordable than the previous model. With this, the Versys-X 300 is now among the most competitively priced twin-cylinder adventure bikes in India. Bookings have opened nationwide, and deliveries will commence in early November 2025. The motorcycle comes in a single variant, featuring the Candy Lime Green/Metallic Flat Spark Black finish. It also gets subtle cosmetic upgrades and refreshed graphics for the 2026 model year.

Commenting on the launch, Yutaka Yamashita, Managing Director of India Kawasaki Motors Pvt. Ltd., stated, 'The Versys series has always embodied the spirit of adventure, freedom, and exploration — Any Road, Any Time. From the newly launched MY26 Versys-X 300 to the versatile Versys 650 and the flagship Versys 1100, every model carries the same DNA of confidence, comfort, and control.

The Versys 1100 stands as the pinnacle of Kawasaki’s adventure-touring expertise, setting benchmarks in performance, technology, and long-distance comfort. It has directly inspired the development of the Versys-X 300, which translates the same touring philosophy into a lighter, more accessible package — delivering the thrill of exploration to a broader audience.'

He also added, 'Our association with the Tour de France perfectly aligns with this vision, as both celebrate endurance, precision, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Just as the Tour challenges riders to push beyond boundaries, the Versys series empowers our customers to explore every road with confidence and passion. For every Kawasaki rider, the Versys is more than a motorcycle — it’s a trusted companion for adventure, a symbol of freedom, and an invitation to Let the Good Times Roll.'
