- Additional features include a semi-digital console (analogue tachometer, LCD display without smartphone connectivity), MRF tyres, 785 mm seat height, 140 mm ground clearance, and a 179 kg kerb weight.
Kawasaki Ninja 300 returns for 2026 with a familiar formula: subtle visual refreshes to keep the design in line with modern buyers’ expectations while retaining the strong mechanics that the sports bike already has.

2026 Kawasaki Ninja 300: Exterior Changes
While the bike retains its sharp looks and aggressive stance, with a broad, chunky profile, the 2026 facelift adds a few cosmetic changes. The core theme remains green, but the graphics have been updated for the newer model to differentiate it from the older one.
The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 300 is available in two variants: Lime Green (the classic look) and Candy Lime Green (with Ebony), which features more blacked-out elements for a slightly less flashy, more stealthy look.
Apart from the variants and graphics, the bike retains the dual-projector LED headlamps (inspired by the ZX-6R) and the larger floating windscreen introduced in recent updates. Other key design elements include a sculpted 17-liter fuel tank, a prominent exhaust system, a streamlined tail cowl, and an LED taillight.
