As for braking, dual 310 mm petal discs with 4-piston calipers are employed at front, while a single 250 mm petal disc takes care of the rear. Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) comes as standard too.

“The bespoke Versys 1000 has a style of adventure model, but it is most suited for sport riding and long touring.  Technically, it is a crossover from the Ninja 1000 with a purpose of thrilling performance with everyday versatility. I hope our customers explore endless possibilities with the Versys 1000,” said Naoki Matsumoto, Managing Director – India Kawasaki Motors.
