Kawasaki has launched the 2022 Vulcan S in India. It carries the same price tag as per the recent price hike. Here’s what’s new on the bike. The Kawasaki Vulcan S employs a BS6-compliant 649cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor that belts out 61PS and 62.4Nm. It’s mated with a 6-speed gearbox. The suspension setup for the Vulcan S consists of a 41mm telescopic fork and offset-linked mono-shock. Meanwhile, the braking hardware includes 300mm front and 250mm rear discs. The Vulcan S has no direct rivals in the segment, but you can also opt for the Benelli 502C priced at Rs 4.98 lakh. You can also get the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 or the Continental GT 650 at a much more affordable price.
