Design and Features
The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 300 retains its sporty appeal but now features a ZX-6R-inspired projector headlight and a larger floating windscreen similar to the ZX-10R. These enhancements not only improve aesthetics but also contribute to better aerodynamics and visibility. Additionally, Kawasaki has introduced three new color schemes for the Ninja 300:R-inspired Lime Green, Candy Lime Green, and Metallic Moondust Grey.
The motorcycle is built on a tubular diamond-type frame, with the engine serving as a stressed member for enhanced stability. It features 37 mm telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock suspension at the rear, providing 120 mm and 132 mm of travel, respectively.
For braking, Kawasaki equips the Ninja 300 with a 290 mm front and 220 mm rear petal disc setup, supported by a dual-channel ABS for superior control and safety. The updated model also introduces revised tyre tread patterns, promising improved road grip and stability.
