Jawa Forty Two Latest Update
Jawa launches the 42 2.1 Tawang edition, a limited edition bike for residents of Arunachal Pradesh and neighboring States only. Read the article to know what’s new on this special edition 42.
The Jawa Forty Two is the slightly more modern take on the iconic Jawa. It comes with sportier handlebars with bar-end mirrors, and a simpler headlight mounting with the single-pod instrument cluster perched up top.
Jawa Forty Two Price:
Jawa offers the BS6-compliant Forty Two in two variants -- single-channel ABS, and dual-channel ABS. The Starlight Blue and Haley’s Teal retail at Rs 1,67,487 (for the single-channel ABS variant) and Rs 1,76,429 (for dual-channel ABS). The Lumos Lime variant is priced at Rs 1,71,351 for single-channel ABS and Rs 1,80,293 for dual-channel ABS. The more premium-looking Comet Red, Galactic Green, and Nebula Blue cost Rs 1,72,415 and Rs 1,81,357 for single-channel and dual-channel ABS, respectively. All prices are ex-showroom Delhi. The 100 unit-limited Tawang Edition costs Rs 20,000 more than the standard variant.
Jawa Forty Two Features:
The Jawa Forty Two is a neo-retro motorcycle, packing an analogue speedometer and fuel gauge, along with a digital inset for odometer readings. There’s no tachometer or gear position indicator. Even the headlamp and indicators are bulbs. Jawa offers either a single-channel ABS with a rear drum or a front and rear disc brake-equipped dual-channel ABS as a separate variant.
Jawa Forty Two Engine:
The Jawa Forty Two is powered by the same 293cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 27.33PS and 27.02Nm -- 0.84PS and 0.95Nm less than the BS4-compliant version. The engine continues with the same six-speed transmission as before.
Jawa Forty Two Suspension & Brakes:

It rolls on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with a 90/90-18 section front and a 120/80-17 section rear tubed tyre. The bike features a 14-litre fuel tank, weighs 172kg, and comes with a 765mm tall seat.

Jawa Forty Two Pros and Cons
Things We Like in Forty Two

Forty Two Expert Review
It has been over two years since Jawa made a return. Aside from evoking nostalgia from those who had seen the brand in its heyday, Classic Legends also managed to pique curiosity among those who had never heard of Jawa or were too young when the brand shut shop. Of the first two bikes launched, the more affordable Forty Two was the go-to motorcycle for the majority of the buyers, those who eventually got their bikes after waiting patiently for them that is. Not only because the Forty Two was priced lower than the Jawa but also because of its more modern appearance.
A couple of years on, Jawa has decided on giving it a small but significant update. Meet the Jawa Forty Two 2.1, the new range-topping variant of the Forty Two series. What exactly has Jawa thrown into the mix now to make it more premium and more importantly, is it any better than the standard bike?
