Kawasaki is creating a buzz in the motorcycle world with a sneak peek at its upcoming Versys Hybrid.
After unveiling the Z 7 Hybrid internationally, the Japanese motorcycle giant seems ready to shake up the adventure touring scene with a hybrid powertrain for the Versys as reported by Bikewale.
According to the leaked patent file, the Versys Hybrid might share its powertrain with the Z 7 Hybrid. This hybrid system is expected to feature a 9kW electric motor, a 1.4kWh battery, and a 451cc parallel-twin engine.
The combination of electric and traditional power could let riders seamlessly switch between fully electric mode and the conventional ICE when the battery runs low.
This hybrid setup could significantly boost the bike’s touring capacity. The ability to switch from electric to ICE mode means riders get an extended range, addressing worries about battery life during long journeys. This move aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives that still deliver the excitement and practicality of traditional motorcycles.
While the Versys Hybrid is still in the early stages, speculations are flying about potential features. Enthusiasts can dream about manual or automatic gear shift options, full LED lights, a digital dashboard, multiple riding modes, and more.
The leaked patent design has sparked excitement among enthusiasts, and we can only imagine what’s in store for the global debut after rigorous testing and development.
