Kawasaki W175 Street Launched at IBW 2023 at the Price of 1.35 Lakhs

Kawasaki has launched the W175 Street during the India Bike Week. Known to be a new addition to their lineup. If we talk about the upgrade in W175, the motorcycle has many new features and updates compared to the previous model. 

Design and Features

Kawasaki W175 Street has the classic circular headlight, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, single-piece seat, and chunky exhaust from the regular W175. However, it differentiates itself with alloy wheels (17 inch) that sport tubeless tires. The bike is available in two colour options. One is Candy Emerald Green and the other is Metallic Moondust Grey. 

Performance

Powering the W175 Street is a 177cc, fuel-injected, air-cooled engine. It produces 12.8 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 13.2 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. 

Chassis and Suspension

The W175 Street features a steel, double-cradle frame similar to the regular W175. Suspension duties are handled by a conventional fork at the front and twin shocks at the rear. 

Wheels and Brakes

The new alloy wheels come with 80/100 (front) and 100/90 (rear) tubeless tires. Braking is managed by a 245mm front disc with two-piston floating calipers and 110mm rear drum brake. The bike is equipped with single-channel ABS for added safety. 

Dimensions and Weights

Verdict: The launch of the Kawasaki W175 Street introduces a street-oriented version with alloy wheels and tubeless tires. While the price drop is appreciated, some may still find it relatively expensive for the features offered.
