Kawasaki W175: Specs & Features

Powering the W175 is a 177cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. The India-spec version employs fuel injection as opposed to the carbureted setup offered in some international markets. This engine produces 12.8 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 13.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, and is paired with a five-speed gearbox.

The performance figures are modest, keeping in line with its role as an everyday commuter with retro styling. Despite its relatively larger displacement, the output is comparable to rivals such as the Yamaha FZ-X, which falls in a slightly lower capacity segment.

The W175 maintains a traditional design with minimalistic bodywork in line with its retro-classic inspiration. The lighting setup comprises halogen headlamps and tail lamps, along with conventional bulb-type turn indicators. Instrumentation is handled by a semi-digital console that features an analogue speedometer and a digital inset. The digital display provides basic information such as fuel level, clock, odometer, and trip meter.

Alloy wheels are exclusive to the Street variant, while the standard variant uses wire-spoke wheels to align with the classic aesthetic. The overall design approach remains unchanged across variants aside from paint schemes and wheel types.
