Kawasaki has rolled out the 2026 Vulcan S cruiser in India, introducing E20 fuel compatibility and a new 'Metallic Flat Spark Black' paint scheme. Priced at ₹ 8.13 lakh (ex-showroom), this update ensures the mid-capacity cruiser meets evolving fuel standards while retaining its core mechanical package and ergonomic adjustability.
The Vulcan S continues to be powered by a 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, now optimized for E20 fuel. This engine delivers 61 hp at 7,500 rpm and 62.4 Nm of torque at 6,600 rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox featuring an assist-and-slipper clutch. The new Metallic Flat Spark Black finish replaces the previous Pearl Matte Sage Green, complementing the cruiser's minimalist and sporty character.
Designed for rider comfort and customization, the Vulcan S incorporates Kawasaki's Ergo-fit sizing system, allowing adjustments to the seat, footpegs, and handlebar to suit various body types and riding preferences. Suspension duties are handled by a 41mm telescopic fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock, with braking by front and rear disc brakes supported by dual-channel ABS.
