2026 Kawasaki Z1100 Launched in India at RS 12.79 Lakh

The 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 produces 134.14 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, making it more powerful than the Z900, which delivers 123.6 bhp and 98.6 Nm. In comparison to its rivals, like the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP, priced at Rs 13.29 lakh, the Z1100's output is competitive but slightly less than the ZX-10R's 193 bhp. This positions the Z1100 well within the Supernaked category.

The Z1100 features fully adjustable Showa suspension at both ends, while the SE variant upgrades the rear suspension to an Ohlins S46 monoshock with a remote preload adjuster. This enhancement in the SE variant is aimed at providing improved handling and ride comfort, particularly for more aggressive riding styles.

The Z1100 adopts Kawasaki's Sugomi design language, which presents a compact, crouched, and forward-leaning stance. It features updated sharp contours and a muscular tank, differentiating it from the Z1000's more aggressive look. The twin-pod LED headlamps and short tail section maintain the Z-series visual DNA while providing a more refined appearance.

The 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 is equipped with a comprehensive electronic rider-assist package that includes features such as two power modes, three levels of traction control, a bidirectional quickshifter, cruise control, dual-channel ABS, and a five-axis IMU for dynamic stability control. These features enhance rider safety and performance across various riding conditions.

The 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 is priced at Rs 12.79 lakh, positioning it as the flagship model in Kawasaki's Z Series in India, above the Z900 which is priced at Rs 9.99 lakh. This pricing strategy reflects its advanced features and performance, making it competitive against similar models like the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP at Rs 13.29 lakh.
