Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R: What’s new?

636cc engine produces 124hp and 69Nm

Priced from Rs 12.49 lakh, ex-showroom, the MY26 Ninja ZX-6R continues to be powered by a 636cc inline four-cylinder engine producing 124hp at 13,000rpm and 69Nm at 11,000rpm, with output rising to 129hp with ram-air effect. The ZX-6R remains one of the few inline-four supersport offerings currently on sale in India.

The addition of the Ohlins steering damper should aid high-speed stability and front-end composure, especially during aggressive riding and track use. Steering dampers are typically associated with larger-capacity superbikes, making this a notable addition in the segment.
