Kawasaki India is wrapping up the year with solid discounts on the Versys-X 300, its entry-level adventure tourer. If you've been eyeing this bike, now might be the time to move. The offers apply to both 2025 and 2026 models and run through the end of December while supplies last.
What You Get With the 2026 Model
Buyers going for the latest 2026 Versys-X 300 get a Rs. 15,000 cash discount right off the bat. On top of that, Kawasaki's throwing in one free accessory, and you get to choose between two options.
The first is a side pannier kit. It includes the mounting hardware and Kawasaki's one-key system, so your ignition key works the luggage too. Each pannier holds 17 liters and can carry up to 3 kg per side. That's enough for a weekend trip or some light touring, though you'll want to pack smart.
The other option is a center stand. Less flashy than panniers, sure, but if you're the type who does your own chain maintenance or ends up fixing things on the side of the road during longer rides, it's genuinely useful. Pick what fits how you actually ride.
Better Deal on the 2025 Model

The outgoing 2025 Versys-X 300 comes with a bigger flat discount of Rs. 25,000. No accessories included, but if you're just looking for the best price and don't mind last year's stock, that's a substantial chunk of savings. Worth considering if the year badge doesn't matter much to you.
It's also worth noting that when Kawasaki brought in the 2026 model back in October, they dropped the price by Rs. 31,000 compared to what it was selling for in May. So even before this year-end offer, the bike got more affordable.
What You're Actually Getting
The Versys-X 300 sits at the bottom of Kawasaki's Versys lineup, and it's noticeably simpler than the 650 or 1100 versions. It's powered by a 296 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin that makes 40 horsepower at 11,500 rpm and 25.7 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. That engine's paired with a six-speed gearbox that includes an assist and slipper clutch, which helps during aggressive downshifts or if you accidentally drop a gear too early.
Suspension duties fall to 41 mm telescopic forks up front with 130 mm of travel and a Uni-Trak gas-charged monoshock out back with 148 mm of travel. You get a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, both with spokes. Ground clearance sits at 180 mm, which is decent for tackling rough roads or light off-pavement stuff, though this isn't a hardcore dirt bike.
Other practical touches include upright ergonomics that keep you comfortable over longer distances, a tall windscreen to cut down wind blast, and a 17-liter fuel tank. The 2026 model comes in Candy Lime Green and Metallic Flat Spark Black.
Who Should Consider This

The Versys-X 300 makes sense if you want something capable of handling varied terrain without the weight, complexity, or cost of a bigger adventure bike. It's approachable for newer riders but still fun enough for experienced ones who don't need massive power. The twin-cylinder engine has more character than a single, and the bike's light enough to manage in tight spots or tricky situations.
With these discounts, you're looking at better value than a few months ago. The accessory choice on the 2026 model adds flexibility depending on whether you're more into weekend touring or just want easier maintenance. And if you're willing to go with last year's model, that extra Rs. 10,000 off might seal the deal.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to grab an entry-level adventure tourer, this year-end push is worth a look. We'll keep tracking how these offers land and whether Kawasaki adjusts pricing heading into 2026.
