EICMA 2025 It has served, in addition to showing us all the news that is happening in the two-wheeled sector, to confirm to fans that nostalgic branch that the most leading brands in the world of two wheels go through. Moto Morini and his Kangaroo 300 is a good example of this. A model that is presented in two different variants and that brings together this amalgam of characteristics that the original model once offered.
Morini Kanguro 300 Motorcycle: What we know
Weeks before the start of the famous Milan Motor Show, some images of the patent registry were leaked, in the name of the parent company, related to two new 300 trail models for the A2. Let us remember that since Moto Morini passed into the hands of the Chinese group Zhejiang Morini Vehicle Co. Ltd in 2018, the range of the transalpine firm has not stopped growing.
Already then, the brand’s intention to fully enter the A2 segment with two essentially identical motorcycles was intuited, although with a marked differentiating character in each of them. Subsequently, they have become a reality, after the official presentation to the public attending EICMA 2025. Perhaps one of the aspects that followers of the Italian brand liked the most is that it has reissued the iconic Kanguro acronym.
The original version of the Kanguro 350 was presented in 1982, it was not until three years later when it began to be marketed in Spain after the first evolution of the model. In essence it was the same motorcycle equipped with a look similar to what the 501 XE Camel looked like at the time. Equipped with an air-cooled 72º V-twin engine, it offered a declared power of 35 hp at 8,000 rpm. With 25.7 Nm of maximum torque at 7,000 rpmMoto Morini declared a top speed of 145km/h.
Many years after that, the 2026 model focuses precisely on the key aspects with which in the eighties the Kanguro 350 asserted itself within the category where it was included. The engine is a 300 cc single-cylinder, it now offers 34 HP of power and 27 Nm of torqueseeking to position itself as an interesting option for those holders of the current A2 license.
In the cycle part we find a compact steel chassis, along with an aluminum swingarm and rear subframe. The suspension equipment includes a 41 mm fork and a shock absorber with progressive linkage, offering up to 250 mm of travel on both axles. The assembly rests on a pair of radial wheels, 21” inches at the front and 18” inches at the rear, shod in both versions with Offroad tires.
According to first information, the ABS system is disconnectable, confirming the approach given by the brand to its new Kanguro 300. Available in two versions, the standard variant with raised front fender, and the Rally version, with low fenders and compact windshield, in both cases they declare a very tight maximum weight.
Specifically, 145 kg for the basic version and 153 kg for the Rally while the seat height is 880 mm. Everything indicates that the new Kanguro 300 will reach dealerships in the second half of 2026.
