weighs in at about 145 kg( dry or as stated) with the Rally version around 153 kg, and the seat height is cited at approximately 880 mm. These numbers place the Kanguro 300 firmly in the lightweight adventure segment— reachable for many riders yet with enough off-road capability to be meaningful.
Markets will need to wait a little longer: Moto Morini anticipates that the Kanguro 300( in both standard and Rally trims) will reach dealerships in the second half of 2026. Pricing hasn’ t been disclosed yet, which leaves room for speculation regarding its position against rivals in the compact adventure space.
From a broader perspective the launch of the Kanguro 300 is significant for Moto Morini. It underscores the company ' s strategy of revitalising its legacy names while addressing growing demand for smallercapacity adventure bikes— machines that bridge the gap between urban mobility and off-road exploration. Riders who might have previously been intimidated by large displacement machines now have a credible, lightweight dual-sport option bearing a strong Italian identity.
For riders in Australia( or considering the Australian market) this model could be particularly appealing. The terrain diversity around Victoria and other states often sees roads turn to gravel very quickly, and a sub- 300 cc adventure machine makes sense for those seeking fun, flexibility and manageable running costs. However, until official Australian specification, pricing and local support are confirmed, it’ s worth keeping an eye on how Moto Morini’ s local network shapes up. TRAVERSE
