The iconic Jawa 42 has been refreshed for 2024 with prices ranging from Rs 1.73 lakh to Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The starting price is now Rs 16,000 more affordable, making this vintage-inspired motorcycle even more attractive to buyers.

Mechanical Updates: Smoother and More Powerful Engine

Classic Legends has made significant improvements to the Jawa 42’s 294cc liquid-cooled engine, which now generates 27.32hp and 26.84Nm of torque. These enhancements bring more power and smoother performance. One of the most notable upgrades is the addition of a slip and assist clutch, which enables easier gear shifting and prevents wheel locking during aggressive downshifts.

To further refine the riding experience, gear-based throttle mapping has been introduced, which improves the smoothness of gear shifts. Jawa has also installed a redesigned balancer weight and a hub-type balancer gear, which work together to reduce vibrations significantly. Additionally, a new mounting point for the rear shocks and an upgraded seat boost rider comfort, making long rides more enjoyable.

Jawa 42 Gets Six New Colours

Style-wise, the 2024 Jawa 42 comes in six striking new colour options, allowing riders to express their personality through their ride. The fresh colour palette is a welcome addition, giving the bike a more modern and vibrant look, while still paying homage to its classic design roots.

For those seeking more advanced features, the top variant offers dual-channel ABS, alloy wheels, and a fully digital LCD unit. The variety in options allows customers to choose a configuration that best suits their needs and preferences.

Jawa 42—A Perfect Blend of Classic and Modern
