Kawasaki India has introduced the 2025 edition of its iconic Eliminator cruiser motorcycle, priced at INR 5.76 lakh (ex-showroom). While the bike sees a INR 14,000 price hike compared to its predecessor, it retains the same design, features, and mechanical specifications, making it a familiar yet appealing option for cruiser enthusiasts. 2025 Kawasaki Eliminator - what's changed? The Eliminator continues to embody Kawasaki’s retro-modern design philosophy. It features a low-slung profile with a round LED headlamp, sleek turn indicators, and a curvy fuel tank. The Metallic Flat Spark Black color scheme adds a touch of sophistication, complemented by burnished copper exhaust pipes and brushed metallic silver accents on the heat shield. Powering the Eliminator is a 451cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering 45 PS at 9,000 rpm and 42.6 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and comes equipped with an assist and slipper clutch for smoother gear shifts. The trellis frame, combined with telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers, ensures a comfortable and stable ride. 2025 Kawasaki Eliminator - ergonomics and wheels The bike’s ergonomics are designed for long-distance comfort, featuring a wide handlebar, forward-set footpegs, and a scooped rider seat. With a seat height of just 735 mm, the Eliminator is accessible to riders of varying heights. The cruiser rides on 18-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels, wrapped in 130/70 and 150/80 tyres, respectively. Braking duties are handled by 310 mm and 240 mm single discs at the front and rear, supported by dual-channel ABS. Features Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the Eliminator’s round LCD instrument cluster, which displays essential information such as the tachometer, gear position indicator, fuel gauge, and trip meter. Smartphone connectivity via Kawasaki’s Rideology app adds convenience, allowing riders to access call alerts, maintenance schedules, and riding logs. However, the bike lacks navigation, traction control, and riding modes, offering a more analog riding experience. While the Eliminator faces no direct rivals in India, it competes indirectly with models like the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, which offers similar cruiser vibes at a more affordable price point. Kawasaki’s premium pricing reflects its focus on delivering Japanese engineering and build quality. Also read: Race-spec TVS Apache RR 310 revealed for the ARRC 2025
