The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is powered by a 296cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, DOHC engine producing 38.88 bhp at 11,000 rpm and 26.1 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. It's paired to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch - a feature that makes downshifts noticeably smoother, especially when hustling through corners. The engine's character is its defining trait: smooth, linear, and genuinely fun to rev all the way to the redline.

In terms of chassis, the Ninja 300 uses a steel diamond frame with a right-way-up telescopic front fork and a single rear shock. It's not the most adjustable setup, and the rear monoshock is on the softer side, but the overall handling balance is predictable and friendly - exactly what a sports bike of this size should feel like. Ground clearance stands at 140 mm, which means you'll want to be careful over tall speed bumps but won't bottom out on typical Indian roads.

The braking setup is a highlight: 290mm petal disc up front with a 2-piston caliper and a 220mm petal disc at the rear, both backed by dual-channel ABS. That's full ABS on both wheels - something not all bikes in this segment offered as standard until recently. Tyres are 110/70-17 front and 140/70-17 rear, both from MRF, which are adequate but most performance-focused owners upgrade to Michelin Pilot Street 2 or Metzeler Sportec within the first few months.

Kerb weight is 179 kg - the heaviest in its segment - and the 17-litre fuel tank is the largest, giving it a real-world range of around 450 km between fills. Seat height is 780 mm, which is accessible for most Indian riders of average height. The semi-digital instrument console displays speed, rpm, gear position, fuel level, and a trip computer, but there's no TFT screen, no Bluetooth, and no riding mode selector.

On paper, some of the Ninja 300's specs look dated against rivals like the KTM RC 390 or Aprilia RS 457. But specs rarely tell the full story. The 296cc parallel-twin is tuned for rideability, not peak numbers, and that shows in everyday use - it pulls cleanly from low rpm, doesn't vibrate, and sounds genuinely good. For riders who prioritise engine character and long-term durability over the latest electronics, the Ninja 300's specifications still hold up well in 2026.
