Japanese automaker Kawasaki has launched the 2025 iteration of its Ninja 1100SX sports tourer bike in the Indian market. It carries an ex-showroom price of ₹13.49 lakh. The newest version brings a host of upgrades, including a bigger 1,099cc liquid-cooled engine. Dealerships have commenced bookings for this new model, and deliveries are likely to start early next year.
A look at the engine and performance
The 2025 Ninja 1100SX is the fifth generation of this sports tourer series. The new avatar is powered by a larger 1,099cc, inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, an upgrade over the previous model's 1,043cc motor. Despite the bump in displacement, power output has slightly decreased to 135hp from 142hp. However, torque has seen a marginal increase to 113Nm from the previous model's figure of 111Nm.
Gear ratios and quickshifter
Kawasaki has also fine-tuned the gear ratios on the new Ninja 1100SX to improve the overall power delivery and fuel efficiency. The bi-directional quickshifter has been updated to enable slower-speed gear changes. Other facilities include a handlebar-mounted USB Type-C outlet and voice commands with smartphone connectivity, further enhancing the riding experience.
The bike retains its design and chassis
The design of the 2025 Ninja 1100SX remains largely unchanged, retaining its iconic bodywork and chassis. However, it has been improved with a larger rear disk brake and Brembo Monobloc 4.32 calipers at the front. The suspension system comprises adjustable 41mm USD Showa front forks and an Ohlins S36 adjustable mono-shock at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride on all terrains.
It offers a 4.3-inch TFT display
The new Ninja 1100SX comes with a range of advanced features such as a 4.3-inch TFT screen, multiple power modes, traction control, ABS, and cruise control. The motorbike rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped with new Bridgestone Battlax S23 tires for maximum grip and performance. It will be available in a single Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Gray/Metallic Diablo Black color scheme, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
