Jawa Perak

Jawa Perak Highlights

It has been nearly a year since we first saw Jawa’s Perak bobber and we are no closer to hearing about when it will be launched. While top bosses within the company have stated that there will be 3 new models arriving from the brand, one of them being the Perak, the timeline given for the arrival is pretty vague. We could expect to see these three new motorcycles in the next 18 months. Click here to know more details on when you could see the Perak in the flesh.

The Perak features an all-black paint scheme and a redesigned rear end, a single tan seat, low-set handlebars with bar-end mirrors and round tail light that’s neatly placed under the seat. Powering the motorcycle is a bigger 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder mill that produces 30PS and 31Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed transmission. It even gets a custom exhaust.

The bike uses the same double cradle frame and conventional telescopic forks as the Jawa and 42. However, it gets a 'swing cage' swingarm (like the Triumph Bonneville Bobber) to accommodate the monoshock at the rear. Also, unlike its siblings, the Perak uses disk brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS and slightly fatter Pirelli tyres.
