Rumour: Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R to be launched by year-end

The 2024 Ninja ZX-6R is powered by the same 636cc in-line 4-cylinder engine as before.

According to a media report, Kawasaki is likely to launch the updated ZX-6R in India by the end of this year.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was discontinued after the BS6 emission norms came into effect. With the Euro5 version already on sale globally, Kawasaki is expected to bring the updated bike to India.

The 2024 Ninja ZX-6R is powered by the same 636cc in-line 4-cylinder engine as before. However, it now complies with the BS6.2 norms, with peak output rated at 127 BHP and 69 Nm, slightly lower than the old version. The engine gets revised cam profiles, re-tuned injectors, molybdenum-coated pistons, a revised intake system and a new header & collector pipe.

The new ZX-6R features an adjustable Showa front fork and an adjustable Showa mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by twin 320 mm discs paired with new Nissin 4-piston calipers at the front and a 220 mm rear disc.

The bike gets a quick-shifter, 4.3-inch digital instrument console with Bluetooth and three riding modes: Sport, Road and Rain, while safety features include traction control and Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-lock Brake System.
