Kawasaki’s Mid-capacity Cruiser Just Got Snazzier

If you like how the Kawasaki Vulcan S looks, we have good news for you, as it has gotten snazzier for 2021. Unveiled in the USA, the 2022 Vulcan S comes in two new colours: Pearl Robotic White and Metallic Matte Graphite Grey. Along with this, there’s also a new Cafe variant.

Taking up the colours first, the Pearl Robotic White, as its name suggests, gets a breezy white finish with cool blue graphics on the tank, radiator shrouds and blue/white pinstripes on the alloys. As for the Metallic Matte Graphite Grey, it’s more ‘Kawasaki’ in its ways thanks to its black/green paint scheme. 

Coming to the highlight for the 2021 model, for the first time, the Vulcan S now gets a Cafe variant. The Vulcan S Cafe gets its exclusive three-tone paint scheme and gets a short, smoked visor just above the headlight, helping it stand out from the standard variant.

Apart from this, all other aspects remain unchanged. The Vulcan S still employs the same Euro-5 compliant engine pumping out 61PS and 64Nm, along with the same underpinnings including a telescopic fork and a 7-step preload adjustable off-set monoshock.

What helps the Vulcan S stand out among its rivals is Kawasaki’s Ergo-Fit feature which allows riders to position the footpegs, seat and levers to their liking. 

The 2021 Vulcan S retails at $7,299 (Rs 5.5 lakh) while the Cafe variant comes at $7,899 (Rs 5.9 lakh). In India, the Vulcan S is available for Rs 6.04 lakh and we expect Kawasaki to roll out the new colours and variants here by the end of 2021, probably at a nominal price hike.
