Kawasaki India has commenced the deliveries of its most-affordable motorcycle in our market, the W175. The motorcycle was launched in the Indian market in September 2022.
This retro-style motorcycle is available in two variants. The base model, which features Ebony paint, is priced at 1,47,000. The premium version that is available in the bold Candy Persimmon Red colour can be had at Rs 1,49,000. The difference between the two options is limited to the paint themes. This pricing puts the Kawasaki W175 against the likes of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin.
The new W175 is the smallest-displacement, road-legal motorcycle in Kawasaki India’s portfolio. It is powered by a BS6-compliant 177cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that delivers a maximum output of 12.8bhp at 7,500rpm and a peak torque of 13.2Nm at 6,000rpm. This motor is linked to a five-speed gearbox.
The hardware on this motorcycle comprises a double-cradle chassis, telescopic front forks, twin rear springs, a single 270mm petal-type rotor at the front, and a 110mm drum brake at the back. The feature list is basic and this motorcycle packs a halogen-type headlight, a halogen taillight, conventional turn indicators, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and a single-channel ABS.
