Intro

Kawasaki has launched the 2026 Ninja ZX-6R in India with a revised Lime Green graphic package and a new ex-showroom price of ₹11.69 lakh. The Ninja ZX-6R is the only inline-four supersport in its class on sale in India. For 2026, the bike remains mechanically unchanged, retaining its powerful performance while receiving a cosmetic update.

What’s new this year

The 2026 model’s key update is a new KRT-style Lime Green livery, featuring fresh white and blue stripes. For India, the model is sold in a single factory colourway. Priced at ₹11.69 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2026 Ninja ZX-6R gets a price increase of around ₹40,000 over the previous model.

Specs that still bite

Under the fairing, the ZX-6R’s 636cc inline-four engine still produces 127 bhp (129 PS) with ram air, and 69 Nm of torque at 11,000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch. You get the same high-rev zing this class is known for, with the top-end rush still the party piece. For chassis and feel, Showa SFF-BP suspension and dual discs up front are the track-day credentials.

Features riders actually use

The cockpit is anchored by a new 4.3-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. Electronic aids include selectable power modes, three‑level Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), dual‑channel ABS with KIBS brake management, plus a quickshifter for clutch‑free upshifts. Ride modes are Sport, Road, Rain and a configurable Rider mode to adjust power and intervention to conditions. It’s a clean, modern package for weekend canyon runs and the odd track day without overwhelming menus.

Price, rivals, and value

At Rs 11.69 lakh ex-showroom, the 2026 Ninja ZX-6R is still a great option as the only inline-four supersport in the segment, even if this update is largely cosmetic. Buyers looking at “Kawasaki supersport motorcycle” options will read the lack of mechanical changes as stability and the price hike as the trade for a new look and ongoing availability. Deliveries in India are slated to begin in the first week of September 2025.
