Compared with the 2026 model, the latest version gets an increase in torque, while peak power remains unchanged. The additional torque is aimed at improving the motorcycle's everyday acceleration and flexibility.
The Vulcan S retains its distinctive long-and-low cruiser styling with a modern appearance rather than a traditional chrome-heavy design. The motorcycle features a low 705mm seat height, making it easier for riders to reach the ground when stopping.
Kawasaki has also equipped the bike with adjustable footpegs, allowing three positions — standard, 25mm forward and 25mm backward. The clutch and brake levers are also adjustable.
The 2027 Vulcan S continues with a telescopic front fork and a linkage-equipped rear monoshock. The rear shock gets seven-position preload adjustment, allowing riders to tune the setup according to rider size and load.
The motorcycle rides on an 18-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel. Kawasaki also continues to offer dual-channel ABS for braking safety.
The latest model uses smaller brake discs than the outgoing version, with the front disc measuring 272mm and the rear disc measuring 216mm.
The 2027 Kawasaki Vulcan S gets a relatively simple equipment package focused on usability rather than an extensive electronics suite. Key features include:
For 2027, Kawasaki offers the Vulcan S in Metallic Carbon Gray with Metallic Bluish Green accents. The new colour gives the cruiser a more contemporary appearance while retaining its familiar design.
The 2027 Kawasaki Vulcan S is priced at Rs. 8.23 lakh ex-showroom in India, which is Rs. 10,000 higher than the 2026 model's Rs. 8.13 lakh price.
The Vulcan S continues to occupy a premium position in the middleweight cruiser segment, offering a 649cc parallel-twin engine, low seat height and distinctive styling.
