Recently, Kawasaki released the 2025 W175TR in Indonesia, which is a small displacement car that focuses on the style of retro old mountain bikes, which continues the classic shape of the W175 series in appearance, and creates a different feeling through the front soil removal and other techniques, but the appearance of the W175TR must have a familiar and unfamiliar "embarrassment" for Taiwan riders.
Compared to the classic models of other Japanese brands, such as Suzuki's TU, Yamaha's TW, and Honda's FTR, Kawasaki's TR series has been trying to stay competitive. However, this time, the W175TR is a little inadequate in terms of cost and design, and it is difficult to truly achieve the effect of paying tribute to the classics.
The 2025 Kawasaki W175TR maintains the retro elements of the W175 series on the outside, including rounded headlights, drop-shaped fuel tanks, caterpillar cushions, round watches, and a simple rear taillight cluster, all of which exude a strong classic atmosphere.
However, although the W175TR has a full range of retro elements, the overall proportions give people a slightly incongruous feeling, and some of the dimensions of the wheels, headlights and body lines are not small compared to Kawasaki's most classic "250TR", and the name TR seems a little unacceptable to old-school fans.
The 2025 W175TR is powered by a 177cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 13 HP @ 7,500RPM and a maximum torque of 13.6 Nm @ 6,000RPM. THE FRONT SUSPENSION USES A 30MM UPRIGHT FORK WITH A SUSPENSION STROKE OF 135MM, AND THE REAR SUSPENSION USES A DOUBLE-GUN REAR SHOCK WITH ADJUSTABLE PRELOAD AND A STROKE OF 80MM; THE FRONT BRAKES ARE PAIRED WITH 220MM ROTORS AND DUAL-PISTON CALIPERS, WHILE THE REAR BRAKES ARE SET WITH DRUM BRAKES.
The price of the 2025 W175TR in Indonesia is 34,300,000 rupiah, which is equivalent to about 15,000 yuan.
