Unlike any other cruiser, the Vulcan® S is geared to fit a wide range of riders. Never taking away from its stylish features, this bike takes comfort, adjustability, and Ninja®-derived power and performance to the next level.

The Vulcan S is not your average cruiser. It stands apart, with its Parallel Twin engine, unique frame and suspension layout, and its very non-traditional looks. Unlike any other cruiser, the Vulcan S is geared to fit a wide range of riders. Never taking away from its stylish features, this bike takes comfort, adjustability, and Ninja®-derived power and performance to the next level.

KAWASAKI RETURNS WITH THE VULCAN S PLATFORM, THE MODERN CRUISER WITH CUSTOMIZABLE ERGO-FIT™ COMPONENETS AND A SMOOTH RIDE

The comfortable, sporty, smooth and easy-to-ride cruiser, the Kawasaki Vulcan S motorcycle. Designed to rethink cruisers, with a low-seat height, sporty suspension, comfortable and adjustable ergonomics, the Vulcan S line of bikes is back with added features.

The Vulcan S has the same low silhouette of a bigger-bore Vulcan® cruiser, mixed with Kawasaki sportbike-derived power and handling, as well as its popular ERGO-FIT components, designed to comfortably fit a wide range of riders.

The Kawasaki Vulcan S returns with the smooth ride and cruiser-good looks, but with a new added feature. First, all Vulcan S models will feature a gear-position indicator; knowing what gear you’re in is a major plus for riders.

Vulcan S, not your average cruiser. Standing apart, with its Parallel Twin engine, unique frame and suspension layout and designed for independent minded riders, Vulcan S does not require the rider to conform to some “herd-mentality”, outdated fashion or lifestyle. Accessible in all senses of the word, the accommodating new Vulcan S encourages you to go Your Way!
