Kawasaki has launched the 2026 Ninja 500 at Rs 5,76,000 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The 2026 model is Rs 10,000 costlier than the previous model.

The major update this year is the new Lime Green paint scheme with refreshed graphics.

Apart from the new look, the bike remains mechanically unchanged.

It continues to be powered by a 451cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine producing 45.4PS at 9,000rpm and 42.6Nm at 6,000rpm.

The 2026 model is E20-compliant.

It retains the trellis frame used on previous models.

Suspension duties are handled by a 41mm telescopic fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock.

Braking hardware includes a 310mm front and 220mm rear disc setup with dual-channel ABS.

It has an LCD instrument console and all-LED lights.
