Jawa

Jawa Highlights

Jawa, the iconic motorcycle brand, launched the classic Jawa and the Jawa Forty Two back in November 2018. Since then the brand has managed to rack up innumerable orders and has bumped up production to keep up with the overwhelming response. As for the bike, the Jawa looks pretty similar to the original bike from the 70’s. Right from the horn which is positioned between the front fork and the fuel filler cap to the dome-shaped headlamp that extends to cover the front forks. You have easy to reach handlebars, vintage-style fenders and an old-fashioned instrument console. The bike features the same nostalgic maroon paint scheme with chrome elements.

Powering the bike is a Mahindra Mojo-derived 293cc, BSVI-compliant, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor that generates 27PS of power and 28Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed transmission.

In terms of underpinnings, the Jawa uses a telescopic fork and gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear with 5-step preload adjustability. Anchoring the bike is a disc brake up front and a rear drum unit. Single-channel ABS comes as standard. The brand also offers a dual-channel ABS variant.

Its 18” front and 17” rear wheels come wrapped in MRF Nylogrip tyres. The standard Jawa is priced at Rs 1,64,000 while the dual-channel ABS variant costs Rs 1,72,942. The Jawa competes against the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the recently launched Benelli Imperiale 400.
