Here are the top five highlights of Kawasaki’s latest offering in the cruiser segment.

 

Kawasaki Eliminator: Design

The Eliminator's design is that of a classic cruiser. However, there are many similarities to the Vulcan 650 as well. It gets a neo-retro design that incorporates elements such as the round LED headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a megaphone exhaust. The cruiser prioritises rider comfort with a wide one-piece handlebar, a neutral footpeg position, and a low seat height of 735 mm, making it convenient to manoeuvre for short riders as well.

In terms of features, it gets an all-LED treatment for headlights and taillights, an LCD instrument cluster that displays a digital speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature, maintenance reminder, gear position indicator, clock, odometer, two trip metres, range, and Bluetooth connectivity through the Rideology app for calls and notifications. Safety features include dual-channel ABS, smartphone connectivity, slip-and-assist clutch, and Kawasaki’s ergo-fit technology, allowing riders to customise seat height and footpeg placement.

In terms of its powertrain, the Eliminator houses a powertrain derived from the Z400, a 399 cc parallel-twin unit modified to achieve a 451 cc displacement by increasing the stroke length by 6.8mm. This motor produces 44 bhp at 9000 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed transmission and an assist-and-slipper clutch.

Keeping with the habitual long and low design, the Eliminator comes with 18-inch front and 16-inch rear 10-spoke alloy wheels. The tyre profile measures 130/70-18 up front and 150/80-16 at the rear and weighs 176 kg.
