The Z300 is based on the Ninja 300, but is designed as a naked motorcycle with a more upright riding position.
It is expected to use the Ninja’s 296cc parallel-twin engine, which produces 39 bhp and 26.1 Nm in that model.

It would add a more accessible model to the company’s Z supernaked range in India and compete with bikes such as the KTM 390 Duke and TVS Apache RTR 310.
