2026 Kawasaki Z1100: Power, Tech, Terror

Hey riders, the 2026 Kawasaki Z1100 just landed in India for ₹12.79 lakh! This beast packs a 1,099cc engine with 136 bhp and 113 Nm of raw pull. Its Sugomi looks – sharp twin LEDs, muscular tank, and angry tail – make heads turn on every ride. You get a 5-inch colour screen, quickshifter, smart IMU, and cruise control to rule the road. Showa suspension and Dunlop Q5A tyres keep it glued on bends or in rain. It beats the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP (₹13.29 lakh) on price and value. Pure power, tech, and terror – the Z1100 changes the game!

Kawasaki Z1100 136hp Engine

The Z1100 runs the same 1,099cc four-cylinder from the Ninja 1100SX. It’s liquid-cooled, makes 136 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 113 Nm at 7,800 rpm. The engine revs to 11,500 rpm, feels calm in traffic but roars past 7,000 rpm. Smooth throttle comes from ride-by-wire and big 40 mm fuel injectors.

Kawasaki Z1100 Quickshifter TFT Display

A bright 5-inch TFT screen sits in front of you. It auto-adjusts light, works with gloves, and shows everything clearly. The quickshifter lets you change gears without clutch above 2,500 rpm – up or down. Connect your phone via Bluetooth for maps, calls, and ride data. Pick Full or Low power, and set traction control with easy left-hand buttons.

Kawasaki Z1100 Sugomi Design

The Sugomi style stays fierce – low body, angry LED eyes, 17-litre tank, and sharp tail. New LED blinkers hide neatly. Choose from four colours: Matte Graphene Gray, Emerald Blazed Green, Pearl Storm Gray, or Ebony. Top RS model gets lime-green wheel stripes on matte-black rims.

Kawasaki Z1100 Showa Suspension India

You pull up at a twisty ghat, hop off, and tune the 41 mm Showa USD forks in seconds. Just turn the hand knobs for preload, bounce, or damping – no tools, no fuss. The rear gas-charged Showa shock works the same way. With 135 mm ground clearance, you clear speed bumps easily. The 815 mm seat fits most Indian riders comfortably. At 210 kg, the Z1100 feels light and playful – dart through traffic or carve corners like a pro. Every road feels like your playground!

Kawasaki Z1100 Dunlop Tyres

Rain or shine, the Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres (120/70 front, 190/50 rear) keep you planted. Soft edges bite hard on wet roads – no slips in the monsoon. The tough middle lasts thousands of kilometres. Deep channels throw water away fast, so puddles don’t scare you. Pump 42 psi cold in both tyres (front and rear) for sharp steering and long life. Ride worry-free – these tyres love Indian weather as much as you love the throttle!
