When it involves riding position and seating comfort, Ninja 300 is far almost like its younger sibling. The rear set foot-pegs give a sporty riding posture alongside the handlebar which allows elbows to possess an aerodynamic position.

2. Slipper Clutch

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 comes with the choice of a slipper clutch. This slipper clutch comes into action when there’s a sudden downshift of the gears which frequently throws the wheel into a spin, catching the rider off-guard. The slipper clutch feature provides the rider with greater control and helps in changing the gears quickly.

General Specification:

Kawasaki Ninja 300 Design

The Ninja 300 is based on the Ninja 250R, a lightweight and inexpensive sportbike in production for over three decades. Like the Ninja 250R, it has a full fairing, but a wider rear tire, 140/70, instead of the 130/70 on the 250R.

The Ninja 300 also has 5 spoke wheels, a neutral finder, and an optional antilock braking system (ABS).

By comparison with the 250R, the Ninja 300 also has a slightly smaller fuel tank, taller gearing, and a back-torque-limiting slipper clutch with an assist mechanism that decreases clutch lever effort.

Despite being a sportbike, it has comfortable ergonomics (such as a windscreen effectively protecting from windblast) which promotes commuting.
