India Kawasaki Motors has launched the 2022 Vulcan S with an asking price of Rs. 6.10 lakhs (ex-showroom) in India.
Now, the middleweight cruiser bike is available in a single color option called Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray.
As the name of the paint scheme states, the predominant color of the bike is Gray. However, there are Silver contrasting sections on the fuel tank, which complement the brushed metal finish given to the engine and other bike parts.
Further, tasteful Green highlights have also been added to the tank, radiator shrouds, and wheel rims. However, the cruiser’s styling has not been subjected to any changes.
It still comes with a 14-liter fuel tank, a muffler under the engine (with a black-colored protector), and a semi-digital instrument cluster.
Power comes from a 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin motor that makes 61 PS at 7500 RPM and 62.4 Nm of torque at 6600 RPM. A gearbox is a 6-speed unit.
Kawasaki has retained the paint scheme of the 2021 model and has only switched the colors. The power figure does not seem modest until one factor in the motorcycle’s weight figure is 235 kg. However, it does have a 1575 mm wheelbase, which should keep the bike stable at high speeds.
A 41 mm telescopic fork up front (130 mm travel) and a rear mono-shock with preload adjustment (80 mm travel) are present to soak up road imperfections, while the stopping power comes from a 300 mm front disc and 250 mm rear disc (with ABS assist, of course).
When it comes to the wheels, the 2022 Kawasaki Vulcan S has an 18-inch rim upfront with 120-section rubber and a 17-inch rear wheel wrapped with the 160-section tire.
