Classic Legends, a subsidiary of the
Mahindra & Mahindra Group, has launched the BS-VI Jawa and BS-VI Jawa 42 at
a starting price of INR 1.73 lakh* and INR 1.60 lakh* respectively. The Jawa
and Jawa 42 share the same 293 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine.
With the BS-VI upgrade, this engine now features India’s first cross port
technology on a motorcycle. This has helped the bikes to retain their
characteristic twin exhaust identity and meet emission standards while
retaining similar power and torque numbers. The BS-IV version produced 27 BHP
and 28 Nm of torque. The BS-VI version's outputs aren't out yet.
The Jawa motorcycles see a price hike in
the range of INR 5,000-9,928. The company says that this is on account of the
rapid increase in the cost of precious metals that are used in the catalytic
converter and the rationalising of prices across colour variants.
While both the Jawa and Jawa 42 have been
updated to BS-VI, the Jawa Perak has been BS-VI compliant right from the
beginning. It has a 334 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC motor that
churns out 30 BHP of peak power and 31 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is
linked to a 6-speed gearbox.
