Classic Legends, a
subsidiary of the Mahindra & Mahindra group, relaunched the Jawa brand in
the Indian market with the introduction of Jawa Classic and Jawa Forty-Two. Recently, we stumbled on the Black coloured variant of the Jawa Classic, and it
looks achingly beautiful. The Jawa Grey, on the other hand, looks subtle and
classy.
Regular readers
would know that the Jawa Classic (also referred to as Jawa) was launched in the
Indian market last month at an ex-showroom Delhi price tag of INR 1,64,000. The
motorcycle can be purchased in three colour options – Jawa Maroon, Jawa Grey
and Jawa Black. The dealer level bookings and the test rides, as reported
earlier this month, commence on Friday. Meanwhile, potential buyers can reserve
the motorcycle through the official website for a token (fully refundable in
case of cancellation) amount of INR 5,000.
Apart from the Jawa
Classic, Classic Legends also introduced the Jawa Forty-Two and Jawa Perak in
the Indian market for INR 1.55 lakh and INR 1.89 lakh (both ex-showroom Delhi)
respectively. The Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two are available to purchase while the
Perak bobber would be available from mid-2019.
Both, the Jawa and
Jawa Forty-Two use a 293 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve motor
that is BS-VI compliant. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the engine uses a
fuel-injection system and delivers 27 bhp of maximum power and 28 Nm of peak
torque. A single 280 mm disc up front with floating calliper and a 153 mm rear
drum brake performs anchoring tasks, while the safety net of single-channel ABS
is available as standard. The rear drum brake is aimed to give a retro look to
the motorcycle.
