As Kawasaki gears up for EICMA 2025, the popular Z900 naked bike gets an exciting overhaul with sharper styling, advanced technology, and performance updates. With the new Kawasaki Z900 SE variant also receiving these changes, fans can expect an even better riding experience in the coming year. Here’s a look at everything Kawasaki has packed into the updated Z900.
All about 2025 Kawasaki Z900
Sleek New Design and Aggressive Styling
The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 flaunts a bold new design, following the brand’s latest “Z” design philosophy. The headlight design is shared with models like the Z500 and Z7 Hybrid, giving the bike a sharper and more angular appearance. Kawasaki has also swapped out the iconic Z-shaped tail-light for a more modern, angular unit, complemented by brushed metal accents on the side panels and the bold Z logo, enhancing the bike’s street appeal.
Advanced Electronics and Rider Aids
For 2025, Kawasaki has significantly upgraded the Z900’s electronics package to elevate the riding experience:
- Ride-by-Wire Technology: Enabling smoother and more precise throttle control.
- Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU): Improves safety and stability by adding intelligent traction control and power modes.
- Power Modes: Choose between Full and Low power modes to adapt to road conditions and riding styles.
- Traction Control: Three levels of traction control, with the option to disable for more advanced riders.
- Bidirectional Quickshifter: Effortlessly shift up and down for smoother gear changes.
- Cruise Control: For comfortable, relaxed highway cruising.
- 5-Inch TFT Display: A new color TFT dash provides critical ride information and can connect to smartphones and headsets for voice commands.
These new features make the 2025 Z900 a versatile bike that adapts seamlessly to different riding environments.
Mechanical Upgrades and Performance Specs of 2025 Kawasaki Z900
The 2025 Kawasaki Z900 keeps its smooth 948cc inline-four engine, known for delivering balanced power. However, to meet stricter Euro 5+ emission standards, the engine output has seen a slight reduction:
- Power Output: 123hp at 9,500 rpm (down from 125hp)
- Torque: 97.4Nm at 7,700 rpm (slightly reduced from 98.6Nm)
The new Z900 weighs in at 213kg, which is 1kg more than the previous model, and its seat height has increased to 830mm (+10mm). The bike also boasts upgraded Nissin brakes with twin 4-piston radially mounted calipers for improved stopping power. Tires have been upgraded to Dunlop Sportmax Q5A for better grip and handling, replacing the previous Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires.
Premium Features on the Z900 SE Variant
Kawasaki continues to offer the Z900 SE variant, which now includes premium components:
- High-Spec Suspension: KYB 41mm front fork and Öhlins S46 monoshock, fully adjustable for a more refined ride.
- Braking: Brembo M4.32 calipers for improved stopping precision.
- Weight: The SE variant weighs 214kg due to the enhanced components.
Expected India Launch and Pricing of 2025 Kawasaki Z900
The Kawasaki Z900 has a solid following in India, and the 2025 model is expected to launch here in the coming year. Currently priced at Rs 9.38 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2025 model will likely see a slight price increase due to the added features. However, the Z900 SE variant may not make it to India, as it hasn’t been previously available. The Z900 will continue to compete with models like the Triumph Street Triple R and Ducati Monster.
