Kawasaki W175 Special Edition

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

In India, Kawasaki has announced the launch of the all-new Kawasaki W175 MY 23. The W175 is available in two variants: standard and special edition. The standard variant has an Ebony colour that gives it a black dynamic appearance. The Special Edition has a Candy Persimmon Red base colour. The brand 3D emblem W on the fuel tank reminds you of the Kawasaki W1.

Kawasaki W175 is inspired by its bigger brother, the W800. The Kawasaki W series has been around for more than 50 years. Kawasaki W175 has a round headlamp, rearview mirrors, wire-spoke wheels, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, fork gaiters, and a quilted single-piece saddle. Special Edition Red is a red and black dual-tone colour option. The engine, headlight casing, front suspension, swingarm, and exhaust pipe are all black.

The instrumentation is simple, consisting of a speedometer, trip metre, odometer, and turn signals. Signature W branding can be found on the bottom section of the instrument console and the fuel tank.

A 177cc air-cooled engine powers the Kawasaki W175 with a 5-speed transmission system. It generates 13 HP at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 13.2 Nm at 6,000 rpm. It comes with a double cradle frame integrated with telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers. A 270mm front disc with single-channel ABS and a rear drum handle the braking duties. Both ends have 17-inch wheels with 80/100 front and 100/90 rear tyres.

A compact 177cc Single Cylinder FI engine, Semi-digital RetroStyle Speedometer, Semi double-cradle Frame, and Bright Multi-Reflector Headlamp, 270mm Front Disc with Single Channel ABS, Dual shock Rear Suspension, and Sharp Retro-Classic Style are key features.

The price of the Kawasaki W175 Special Edition Candy Persimmon Red is Rs 1,49,000. Kawasaki W175 will compete with Honda CB350, Jawa, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yamaha FZ-X, and Yezdi Roadster.
