About 42

Jawa 42 is a cruiser bike available at a starting price of Rs. 1,74,573 in India. It is available in 3 variants and 9 colours with top variant price starting from Rs. 1,96,369. The Jawa 42 is powered by 293cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 27 bhp and a torque of 27.05 Nm. With front disc and rear drum brakes, Jawa 42 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This 42 bike weighs 172 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters.

Classic Legends have extended the Jawa 42 range with the addition of the Version 2.1 in the Indian market. The new Jawa 42 Version gets several upgrades that make the motorcycle more modern than ever before.

The biggest upgrade is the addition of alloy wheels that replace the wire-spoke setup. The new set of wheels are wrapped in tubeless tyres. The styling upgrades include a dark theme and the new Jawa 42 Version 2.1 gets a black finish to the engine, exhaust canisters, front fork covers, and the rear springs. The motorcycle also features an offset racing stripe that runs along the fuel tank and into the rear fender. Other changes to the motorcycle include a revision to the seat padding and a new design for the pillion grabrail. Classic Legends have also added a flyscreen and a headlamp grille as optional extras.

The motorcycle retains cycle parts such as telescopic front forks, preload-adjustable twin rear springs, a 280mm disc at the front, a 240mm rotor at the rear, and dual-channel ABS. The new Jawa 42 version 2.1 will be available in three colours – Orion Red, Sirius White, and All Star Black.

Mechanical specifications continue to feature a 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 27bhp and 27Nm of peak torque. The motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox. The Jawa 42 series rivals the likes of Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350, and the Benelli Imperiale 400.

BikeWale's Take

The Jawa Forty Two is a combination of classic looks with modern tech and a twist of retro. It is targetted at today's youth who wish to experience an old-school brand in a modern approach.

Jawa 42 Review

The 42 is more popular because well it’s not stuck in the past like the beautiful but old school Classic Jawa. And to build on this popularity Classic Legends, the company, has introduced the Version 2.1.

Introduction

This is the Jawa 42 version 2.1. If you are wondering, the Jawa 2.0 was in fact the BS6 version launched in the middle of last year.

Let me also state the obvious just in case you were under a rock for the last three years – Jawa is not the company. Classic Legends is the company, which it’s now advertising quite subtly on the motorcycle. And it sells two motorcycle models – this, the Jawa 42 and the Jawa also unofficially known as the Classic Jawa.

So what’s new?

The Visuals

The paint hues for one. Now you get – for the lack of a better phrase – traditional reds and blacks and whites on the 42. But, the old pastel colour palates continue as well.

You also get an offset racing stripe on the motorcycle that runs along the fuel tank and into the rear fender. There are new bar-end mirrors. And the new 42 has now finally understood that black is the new chrome. So, it gets a blacked out theme for the engine, the exhaust to the suspension, the wheels, and everything in between.

Those wheels, meanwhile, are now multi spoke alloys instead of wire spoke ones the pastel 42s come with. And, the Version 2.1, as a result, also gets tubeless tyres. I love tubeless tyres. They bring so much convenience and peace of mind to your riding. For one, you’d rarely find yourself stranded by the road because of a puncture.

And for those with sensitive back sides, the seat has changed for the better as well. It has more cushioning now.

The Package

The seating ergos though continue unchanged. So it’s still easy to swing a leg over the bike. It still has an easy-to-reach wide handlebar. And the overall seating is still quite upright, if slightly cramped (for six footers, mind) courtesy the footpeg positioning. But, with the cushier seat now, at least longer rides would be more bearable.

Continuing with all things unchanged, the new 42 still uses a dual cradle frame for a chassis that’s suspended on telescopic forks upfront and a pair of preload adjustable twin coil over units at the rear. It still uses a 280mm disc at the front and a 240mm one at the rear with dual channel ABS to handle the braking duties. And it continues with 90/90 x 18 and 120/80 x 17 inch MRF rubber front and back, respectively, but as mentioned before, these are now tubeless.

The powertrain continues mostly unchanged too. It’s still a liquid cooled, single cylinder 293cc engine. And it is still mated to a six-speed gearbox. There’s no change in the power and torque output figures either which continue to be nearly 27bhp and 27Nm respectively. But, the refinement levels and the engine response has improved significantly over the BS4 version. And this holds true for all Jawas on sale currently, then be it the pastels, the chromed, and even the domed.

In terms of features, there’s still nothing to write home about.

But, the 42 remains an easy motorcycle to move around. Or turn it around at the spot. So shorter, lesser fed riders won’t have trouble living with it either. We are not fans of the current bar-end mirrors on the Version 2.1 though; these are too close to the handle grips, which make pushing and moving the bike around quite difficult. These just get in the way.

The Ride

To begin with you have quite a friendly motorcycle for something that displaces 300cc. The low seat height, the low centre of gravity, and the friendly and linear power delivery help.

So be it pottering around in the city in stop and go traffic, or thumbing it alive early in the morning because you ran out of bread, or be it just riding to work, the 42 doesn’t require planning regarding time of day or road surface or the route one might take. You get on and ride. And it’s mostly hassle free. Plus, the exhaust note sounds nice when pottering around at low speeds.

And when you open the taps, there’s enough grunt to keep even the enthusiast in you interested. It gets off the line with vigour. The ride-ability through the gears is progressive, if not exactly very strong. And, it doesn’t mind getting to three digit speeds and sitting there either. It might not sound as good right at the top, but it’s acceptable.

What’s more, it feels home even around the twisty stuff. Yes, it’s not the quickest to drop into corners. And it also doesn’t enjoy quick direction changes. But, dial things back just a couple of notches and the handling on the 42 is surprisingly good. There’s decent cornering clearance for the average Joe. And the grip and feedback from the MRF tyres don’t leave you wanting either.

The 42 also doesn’t wallow or buckle too much when leaned over, even over wavy or bumpy roads. And because the power delivery is so predictable and linear, one can give a fist full of throttle at corner exits and not worry about a thing.

Braking again, works for the bike – the bite isn’t too aggressive or mushy, and it returns good feel as well. So one can confidently lean on the brakes entering corners. But again, when ridden at least two notches below maximum commitment!

On poor roads, over bumps, through potholes, or even over undulations, the 42 won’t leave you cursing, or holding your back or behind in pain post the ride. We won’t term the ride quality as plush – and through a seriously deep pothole, it can end up hammering your back. But for the most part, the ride remains predictable, reasonably absorbent, and it is nowhere close to back breaking.

Add to it the tubeless tyres, and one can finally explore roads, no roads, gravel paths and the like without having to worry about removing the wheels, flagging down another motorist, and finding a tyre shop in the middle of nowhere.

Conclusion

Is the new Jawa 42 a much better motorcycle now? Well, visually it certainly is. And we feel going more mainstream or current with the blacked-out theme and the alloy wheels and tubeless tyres will draw in a whole new set of buyers.

And then the inherent positives of the 42 remain, of course. The accessible seat height, the friendly power delivery, and the potent but thankfully not overbearing braking ability. But, yes, it still has some distance to go when it comes to fit and finish and consistency in quality.

So is it worth buying? The 42 costs a little over Rs 2 lakh or thereabouts on the road. Which doesn’t make it a no-brainer purchase by any stretch. But, at the end of the day it’s a good looking motorcycle that does all you ask of it. Commute, check. Ride up the twisties, check. A lazy road trip of many days, check.

Yes, there are other better-finished motorcycles in the market that can do the same in varying degrees of good, better, best. But, you buy a 42 because it pulls at your heart strings. And that it still works like any other everyday motorcycle is an added bonus!

Road Test Review 2021 Jawa 42 Version 2.1: First Ride Review

12 February 2021Vikrant Singh

14 December 2018Vikrant Singh

This is the more affordable, younger-looking, and as its maker likes to say, open-chested version of the Jawa. It shares the engine, gearbox, cycle parts, and, in fact, almost all of its body work with the standard Jawa. We have already ridden and written about the new Jawa on BikeWale.
