Classic Legends, the brand behind the revived Jawa motorcycles, has been steadily expanding its portfolio to compete with the dominant player in the mid-sized motorcycle segment, Royal Enfield. After the recent launch of the updated Jawa 42, the company has now teased a sportier version of this popular model.
Design and Features
The teased images reveal a more aggressive stance for the new Jawa 42 variant. The most noticeable change is the larger JAWA logo on the fuel tank, which gives it a bolder look. The teardrop-shaped fuel tank appears slightly elongated, and the single-piece raised seat with under-seat grab rails adds to the sporty appeal. The up-swept exhaust and new dual-tone alloy wheels further enhance its sporty character.
While specific details about the features are yet to be revealed, the teaser suggests that this new version will offer more than just cosmetic changes. It’s likely to come with a range of upgrades to make it more appealing to riders seeking a sportier experience.
Engine and Performance
Given the company’s teaser, it’s highly probable that this new Jawa 42 will feature the larger 334cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine. This engine is capable of producing around 30 bhp of peak power and 32.7 Nm of peak torque. A 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and dual-channel ABS are expected to be part of the package.
This would make it the first non-bobber Jawa motorcycle to offer this larger engine, positioning it above the current Jawa 42 model in terms of performance.
Pricing and Launch
Classic Legends is expected to price this new Jawa 42 variant competitively, possibly under Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom). This would put it directly in competition with the updated Classic 350 from Royal Enfield.
The launch of this new Jawa 42 variant is scheduled for September 3, 2024. It will be interesting to see how the market responds to this latest offering from Classic Legends and whether it can make a significant impact in the mid-sized motorcycle segment.
Classic Legends’ Strategy
With this new Jawa 42 variant, Classic Legends is continuing its aggressive strategy to challenge Royal Enfield’s dominance. By offering motorcycles with more advanced technology, higher performance, and competitive pricing, the company is aiming to attract a wider range of customers.
The launch of this new Jawa 42 is expected to further strengthen Classic Legends’ position in the Indian motorcycle market and intensify the competition with Royal Enfield. It will be a significant milestone for the company as it seeks to establish itself as a major player in the mid-sized motorcycle segment.
