The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX has been
launched in India at INR 10.79 lakh*. The new BS6-compliant premium sports
tourer replaces the BS4 Kawasaki Ninja 1000. The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX
comes with a plethora of new features. To begin with, unlike the Ninja 1000
which has a bulky dual exhaust set up, the new bike has a newly designed
single-sided exhaust. The litre-class sports tourer also comes equipped with
full-LED lighting, revised bodywork and belly pan which give it enhanced
styling.
The Team Green has also altered both the
rider as well as pillion seats for improved comfort. Speaking of comfort, the
2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX gets a new windscreen that provides better windblast
protection for high-speed highway touring. It has 4 levels of (manual)
adjustment. In terms of electronics, the
new Ninja 1000SX features 4 riding modes (sport, rain, road, rider), electronic
cruise control, KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) with 3 modes, 2 power modes,
KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter), KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) and
KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System).
The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX uses a
revised 1043 cc in-line 4-cylinder engine. This liquid-cooled mill has
electronic throttle valves for enhanced performance and smoother power
delivery. The BS6-compliant engine has been tuned to churn out 142 PS of
maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. The
transmission here is a 6-speed unit.
The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX is
available in two colour options including Metallic Graphite Grey/Metallic
Diablo Black and Emerald Blazed Green/Metallic Carbon Gray/Metallic Graphite
Grey. At INR 10.79 lakh*, the new Ninja 1000SX is INR 50,000 more expensive
than the outgoing Ninja 1000 that retailed at INR 10.29 lakh*.
