Jawa

Jawa Jawa 

 

 Jawa Jawa Launch Date: 

 

The Jawa motorcycle brand re-entered the Indian market with Jawa Jawa, Jawa 42 and Jawa Perak in 2018. The standard variant or Jawa Jawa was last updated with a special edition variant in 2021 to pay tributes to Indian soldiers who participated in the 1971 war with Pakistan. 

 

 Jawa Jawa Price: 

 
The bike comes in three variants and five colours. The black and grey colour bike comes in two variants: single-channel ABS and dual-channel ABS with ex-showroom (New Delhi) prices of Rs 177,351 and Rs 186,293 respectively. The maroon colour model is offered at Rs 178,415 (single-channel ABS) and 187,357 (dual-channel ABS). The special edition bike comes in colours Midnight Grey and Khakhi colour and is offered at Rs 193,357 


 

 Jawa Jawa Features: 

 
The bike has maintained its retro style and looks similar to the original Jawa that was launched decades ago. The cruiser bike looks stunning with a headlamp adjuster, but the overall appearance of the special edition is superior. In the special edition, there is a national emblem printed along with two swords and a tricolour painted right until the seat. It has a semi-digital instrument cluster to display a digital odometer and tripmeter and an analogue speedometer. Other features that you will get in all the versions are low fuel and low oil indicators and an LED taillamp. 

 

 Jawa Jawa Performance: 

 

The 293-cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine has the potential to generate a maximum power of 27.33 Ps with a peak torque of 27.02 Nm. It has a six-speed manual gearbox. The suspension duties in the front are performed by a telescopic hydraulic fork and the rear portion has twin-shock hydraulic. The bike rides better without any vibrations in mid-range speeds from 40-80 kmph. Riders can expect a mileage of around 35-36 kmpl. 

 


 Jawa Jawa Capacity: 

 

The bike weighs 172 kg (kerb) and its fuel tank storage is 14 litres. 

 

 Jawa Jawa Rivals: 

 

Its competitors include Royal Enfield Classic 350, Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350, Benelli Imperiale 400, Honda Hness CB350, and Dominar 400.

Jawa Perak starts at Rs 2.13 Lakh. Explore on-road price, mileage, features, and reviews for this retro-styled bobber bike with modern performance and timeless design.

Perak

Jawa Perak 
 
The Jawa Perak is the legendary brand's third model to hit the Indian market. The Jawa Perak features a bobber-style factory-custom design, which is relatively uncommon in the Indian market today. In place of the rear subframe, the Perak boasts a unique and eye-catching cantilevered seat. The seat is attached to the main frame by a robust sheet of aluminium, and its tan colour contrasts wonderfully with the bike's matt black theme and gold pinstriping. 
 

 Looks and built: 
 

The Jawa Perak features a single-seater with a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and a rear swingarm. It has circular headlamps with blacked-out housing on the front and Jawa has also hidden the horn beneath the headlamps, which are blacked out and feature the 'Jawa' logo. The Perak's handlebars are broad, and it comes with bar-end mirrors. The Jawa Perak's rear profile features a simple design with an exposed rear fender. The indication lamps are on either side of the fender, while the taillamps are immediately above the fender. It has a single-pod instrument cluster built into the headlamp housing, a single-sided extended aluminium swingarm, mono-shock rear suspension, and standard telescopic forks up front. 
 

 Riding ergonomics: 
 

The Perak's low 750mm seat height makes it suitable for even the short riders. The foot pegs are somewhat angled back, and the seating posture is a little on the high side. To give it the low-slung look, the suspension travel has been decreased on both ends and the ground clearance has been reduced to 145mm. Even though its wheelbase has been increased by 116mm, the 175kg Perak feels light and agile. 
 

 Engine and Power: 
 

A modified version of the engine used on the Jawa and Jawa 42 motorcycles powers the Jawa Perak. This is a 334cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with 30 bhp and 31Nm of torque, connected to a six-speed transmission. The Jawa Perak has the same 14-litre gasoline tank as the other models in the range, and it has a mileage of around 30 kmpl. 
 

 Safety Features: 
 

The Jawa Perak is equipped with disc brakes on both ends, as well as dual-channel ABS as standard. In comparison to regular models, the motorcycle also has somewhat broader tyre profiles.

Jawa Perak - On-Road Price, Mileage & Features

Bobbers, they are not practical and most people would not buy them. But can anyone possibly not admire the sheer beauty on display? Bobbers do indeed belong to such a niche community even though most manufacturers stay away from this body style. Before Jawa came to the Indian market, a person would have to shell out quite a bit of money to buy a bobber motorcycle because the most affordable bobbers in India were on sale by <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/harleydavidson">Harley Davidson</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/triumph">Triumph</a>.

Then the Classic Legends brought back the <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/jawa">Jawa </a>brand in the Indian market. Their flagship motorcycle is the Perak which became the most affordable bobber, the manufacturer did face some issues in dealing with production constraints but eventually, everything was sorted out. The Perak belonged to Jawa's Factory Custom Range and now, there is a new motorcycle that joins the same range. It is called the 42 Bobber, and as the name amply makes it clear, it is also a bobber. In fact, the 42 Bobber has become the most affordable bobber in the Indian market. So, how is it and should you consider it? Read on to know more about the Jawa 42 Bobber.

<h2>How does Jawa 42 Bobber look?</h2>

I am a sucker for bobbers and 42 Bobber is one great-looking motorcycle. It does manage to turn heads on the road a lot of times. Jawa borrowed the fuel tank from the Yezdi <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/yezdimotorcycles/roadster">Roadster</a>, the same goes for the instrument cluster, switch gear and front headlamp. But all of these elements have been integrated well so they do not look out of place. The fuel tank has knee recesses and gets tank pads. Having said that, the instrument cluster is difficult to read under direct sunlight and the headlamp, despite being an LED unit, does not offer a good throw.

There is a new handlebar with bar-end mirrors which offer a decent view of what is behind. Then there is a new single seat which is not shared with the Perak. On the handlebar, there is a charger mounted which houses a USB C as well as a USB A socket to charge mobile devices. It does look a bit out of place as it is not integrated well.

The <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/jawa/perak">Perak</a> gets all-blacked out elements whereas the 42 Bobber is more inviting with multiple paint schemes on offer. Moreover, the engine is finished in chrome and the fenders are finished in gloss black. On the Perak, the tail lamp is positioned beneath the seat. For the 42 Bobber, Jawa decided to move it to the rear fender.

<h2>What are the specifications of the Jawa 42 Bobber?</h2>

The engine on the 42 Bobber is the same unit as the Perak and the other Yezdi models. So, it is a 334 cc, single-cylinder unit that gets liquid-cooling. It puts out 30 bhp of max power and a peak torque output of 32 Nm. Jawa has retuned the engine with a new map that has better low-end delivery.

The engine is fine for the most part but it does sound mechanical, although it is an improvement over the previous iterations of the same engine. There are also vibrations that start to creep in around 5,000 rpm mark. The low-end is good on the 42 Bobber but in the 5th and 6th gears, the engine feels alive only after crossing 4,000 rpm and below this rev range, the engine sounds very unpleasant. For overtaking, a rider would need to downshift if he or she is below 4,000 rpm. One needs to twist the throttle to extract the power from this engine. Speaking of twisting the throttle, the on-off throttle transitions can be a bit choppy.

As far as the gearbox is concerned, it is a 6-speed unit and is quite clunky. There is a slip-and-assist clutch on offer which does improve things a bit so the clutch action is moderately light.

<h2>How does the Jawa 42 Bobber ride and is it comfortable?</h2>The handling of the 42 Bobber is better than what I was expecting. This is because of its stiff suspension. However, for me, it was a bit too stiff. This means that the rear mono-shocker transfers jolts directly to the rider's back. So, he or she would need to slow down substantially whenever there is a pothole or a speed breaker.

In bumper-to-bumper traffic, the motorcycle feels light and is easy to manoeuvre. This is thanks, to the low seat height and wide handlebar. However, because of the single-seat, one needs to be conscious that there is still a significant portion of the motorcycle behind him while cutting through traffic. In parking spaces, moving the motorcycle can be a bit of a task because there is no rear grab or anything to hold on so one needs to use the handlebar only. Moreover, I even managed to scrape the motorcycle once because of the low ground clearance.

The seat is on the stiffer side but gets adjustability. The foot pegs are also moved forwarded when compared to the Perak. So, the riding triangle is comfortable. The tank pads help the rider in gripping the tank so he or she does not slip while accelerating hard.

<h2>So, should you buy the 42 Bobber?</h2>The 42 Bobber is priced between ₹2.06 lakh (ex-showroom) and ₹2.09 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, the top-end variant costs the same as the Perak but both are significantly different feeling and looking motorcycles. Yes, the engine sounds a bit rough and the ride quality is quite stiff. But the decision of buying a bobber comes from the heart and not from the head. So, if one decides to buy a 42 Bobber then he or she will probably end up buying the 42 Bobber.

Royal Enfield has been dominating the 350 cc segment in the Indian market for a very long time. The Classic 350 has been the best-selling motorcycle for not only Royal Enfield but in its segment. Several manufacturers have tried till now but no one has been able to crack it. One such manufacturer is Classic Legends, they launched the Jawa back in 2018 and it quickly made the headlines as the nostalgic factor for the brand was still alive. In fact, Jawa was the most searched manufacturer when they announced that they would be making a comeback.

The first motorcycle to come from the Jawa was the Standard which is also known as Jawa Jawa. Yes, it did not sell in huge numbers but what it did was put Jawa as a brand on the radar of a lot of people. It did manage to give people hope that they would be able to enjoy their childhood nostalgia once again. However, there were a few issues that people addressed and I am happy to report that Jawa is taking customer feedback and continuously improving their motorcycles.

Jawa 350

The latest motorcycle to come from the brand is called Jawa 350. Yes, it might look very similar to the Jawa Jawa but there have been a lot of major changes that the manufacturer has made.
