    It doesnt really mean its a downgrade. Need to ride and see how the brakes actually perform .The rotor also now is made by Endurance which should reduce the rotor price by atleast 10-15k. There would be a positive and a negative at the same time in this update, but its a good one in my books. Pads cost should come down from 2.5k to some 100’s, rotor from 18k to some 2k or 3k which is actually really good considering the maintenance costs. Even the WP forks on the dukes are made by endurance, just telling.
    Ride, ride and ride.. But always do it responsibly..

      But at least they should have gone for the bybre!!... I really have my doubts on this. Breaks are one the most essential parts of a motorcycle!!. Never Heard of any manufacturer who used the endurance Breaks on there bikes

        Pulsars up to 150cc and discovers use endurance brakes. They are basically a rip-off of kbx

            I have seen weird things on a bike but have to admit that's the most bizarre and eyesore design on a bike. Seriously I feel some retard from Kawasaki designed the grab rail.

              Hope it won't have those wooden breaks as the pulsar 150s! Have to wait for TD

                Rip-off of kbx ? where did you get that info?
                did you know kbx (kalyani brakes) was a subsidiary of bosch, later merged with brembo to from what we know today as bybre ?

                So what's wrong with endurance brakes ? They do make some very good stuff for various oem's including the wp suspension here in India for the ktm's.
                some of you might want to do some more research on a company before writing it off with a mindset that 'desi is poor quality' or maybe because you haven't heard about the company.
                I've ridden enough pulsars and the discover a few times.. their brakes are sufficient for the bike. A lot of braking performance depends on the rider and his skills/adaptability.. it's not like you push a button and the bike stops on a dime.

                that similar grab rail has been around for sometime now, not new to this model. and yes it seems to an afterthought for the desi market due to weird laws out here. most just remove it after getting the bike and hence you might not see this outside the showroom

                you are right, most indians judge before even riding the bike.. all arm chair quality gurus we have who are easily influenced by 'imported' stuff with the mindset that desi is poor quality, when they actually have no idea where most automotive parts for different oem's come from!
                we really need to go with an open mind when test riding a bike and then form an opinion.. not based on some chum with a gopro on the internet 'reviewing'.

                      Z250 is available at ex-showroom price of 3.08 lakhs without ABS. If Kawasaki can include this bike to their local list, add ABS and drop the price closer to D390, ah what a battle between heart and mind!! wishful thinking [emoji56]

                            This price tag may not last for long as India Kawasaki Motor has clarified that it's an introductory offer meant for a specific number of motorcycles for a limited period. However, Kawasaki has not revealed details about how many Ninja 300s will be sold at the 'introductory' price and for how long this pricing will hold.


                            "India Kawasaki Motor has clarified that it’s an introductory offer meant for a specific number of motorcycles for a limited period."

                            Besides this isnt all that exciting. Ninja300 will get discontinued in 2020 due to BS6 (thats why the introductory price). Its already discontinued in the European market due to Euro6. So anyone thinking about getting the Ninja300, think about this real hard.
