How does the Jawa 42 perform in the city?
The Jawa 42 is equipped with a 294cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, J-Panther engine, producing 27. 32 PS and 26. 84 Nm, paired with a 6-speed transmission and a slip-and-assist clutch. It has enough power and grunt to effortlessly ride around the city. It can easily overtake most vehicles and even ride through traffic with ease.
Moreover, Jawa has made some notable improvements to the engine in the latest update. The manufacturer claims the 294cc engine is more refined than before and delivers a smoother and more enjoyable riding experience. The gearbox is also updated to make gear shifts smoother, especially while shifting between the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. These improvements should provide a more effortless and enjoyable riding experience.
Can the Jawa 42 handle long highway rides?
The Jawa 42 already has an easy-to-reach handlebar and mid-set footpegs, providing an upright and comfortable riding posture, however, the raised footpegs position may make taller riders feel a bit cramped. The bike has a powerful engine that can ride effortlessly around 80kmph - 90kmph on the highway and can also handle high-speed overtakes.
Moreover, the Jawa 42 now gets an updated suspension setup which is tuned to provide a smoother riding experience. The bike also has a new seat that has better padding and more foam than before, promising a comfortable ride to both the rider and the pillion.
What is the mileage of the Jawa 42?
Jawa claims a mileage of around 30-35kmpl in mixed riding conditions. So, you can easily get a range of around 350kmpl from the 12. 5-litre fuel tank.
What features does the Jawa 42 get?
The Jawa 42 base and mid-variants feature a semi-digital instrument cluster with a digital inset, the analogue part displays a speedometer, and fuel gauge and the inset includes an odometer and trip meter. Whereas, the top variants have a fully digital instrument console but lack smartphone connectivity. The Jawa 42 has a halogen headlight, bulb-type tail light and indicators, and also has a hazard light feature.
Is the Jawa 42 suitable for shorter riders?
With a seat height of 788mm, the Jawa 42 might be a bit tall for really shorter riders, but most riders should be able to manage just fine. However, those with below-average height may need to tip-toe to place both feet on the ground.
Is the Jawa 42 worth buying?
With the latest update, Jawa has heard the customer feedback and addressed the issues raised by them. As a result, the Jawa 42 gets an updated engine, smoother gearbox, better suspension, and more comfortable seat and also gets new 6 colour options. The addition of new variants and new colour options now offers customers a broader range of choices. So, if you are looking for a 300-350cc retro-roadster, it is worth considering the 2024 Jawa 42.
What are the Jawa 42 alternatives in India?
The Jawa 42 competes against similar neo-retro roadsters like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Honda CB350RS and TVS Ronin. For a similar price, customers can also go for the Royal Enfield Classic 350, and the Honda H’Ness CB350.

42 Expert Review
Overview
The Jawa 42 2.1 is a retro-styled roadster bike and the entry-level model in the brand’s lineup. A slightly modern classic version of the old Jawa, the Jawa 42 2.1 now also comes with style upgrades and new dual-tone colour options. If you are planning to buy a new Jawa bike, check out the latest price list here.
Design
True to its identity, the bike gets quite a bit of blacked out elements. The powertrain, suspension and wheels are all finished in black. These changes make the bike look much better than its predecessor. That said, the overall silhouette is still more or less similar to the Jawa Forty Two. The retro character in the new 42 is evident with the offset racing stripe along with the bar-end mirrors. Also impressive is the attention-to-detail, as you can see the logo on the rim stickers. While the Dual Tone variants come with conventional rear view mirrors, and tank grips, the Single Tone variants get a headlight grille and bar-end mirrors, apart from the obvious difference in the colour schemes.
Features
The Jawa 42 has been updated with a full-LCD instrument cluster, replacing the older semi-digital console. It is a negatively lit unit and displays information such as speed, fuel level, tachometer, dual trip metres and an odometer. The console provides good visibility in all lighting conditions and overall, is much more practical and easy to read than the old one.
Riding Posture & Comfort
The Jawa 42 offers a neutral riding posture but it feels like the rider is sitting on top of the bike and not ‘in’ it. The raised footpeg position also makes taller riders feel a bit cramped.
The seat comes with a denser foam and firm cushioning when compared to its predecessor, and is designed to let the rider tour for longer durations.
Engine, Mileage & Performance
The Jawa 42 is powered by a 294.72cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 27.32PS and 26.84Nm. The engine feels peppy and eager to go and feels good when riding in the city. The vibrations aren’t that harsh till the mid-range, but beyond that it can be felt on the footpegs and handlebar. The sporty engine along with the sweet exhaust note make it an ideal bike for brisk city commutes.
Handling & Ride Quality
The Jawa 42 is easy to handle, the wide handlebars help it go through the city traffic with ease. The bike is also good at corners (for a bike of this segment), but the low ground clearance makes it easy to scrape the exhausts. The kerb weight of 172kg makes it one of the lightest in the segment and moving it around the parking lot also doesn’t require too much effort. The overall ride quality is on the firmer side as the rider tends to get tossed when going over sharp bumps.
The brakes offer good bite and progression, and the ABS only intervenes under hard braking.
Should you buy Jawa 42
If you are looking for a neo-retro roadster for city riding, which can deliver good performance along with decent looks then the Jawa 42 is a good choice. The bike comes with modern features, and over the years it has gone through some major changes that have ironed out some of the issues that were present when the bike first came out.
Jawa 42 Pros and Cons
Things We Like
- Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
- Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
- Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
Things We Don't Like
- The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
- Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

- It's good until you are not beignerThe Jawa 42 blends classic charm with a sporty touch. Its 293cc engine offers smooth power, but mileage is around 30-34 kmpl. The low seat height makes it easy to handle, though the stiff suspension can be harsh. Build quality issues and limited service centers affect maintenance. A stylish but high-maintenance choice.Read More
