2023 Kawasaki ZX-10R launched

Kawasaki has launched the 2023 ZX-10R superbike in the Indian market at ₹15.99 lakh, making it ₹85,000 dearer than the outgoing model whilst remaining mechanically identical.

The bike is powered by the 998cc, inline-four liquid-cooled engine making 203hp and 114.9Nm. Additionally, it also gets fully adjustable Showa front forks and a monoshock at the rear. In terms of braking, the ZX-10R gets dual 330mm discs at the front and a 220mm disc at the rear. 

A full suite of electronic rider aids are also on offer, including cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control and four riding modes — Sport, Road, Rain and Rider. Additionally, riders can also pair their smartphones to the 4.3-inch TFT display via the Rideology app, which enables you to get notification alerts as well as turn-by-turn navigation.
