Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has introduced the 2024 Jawa 42. The neo-retro motorcycle is now priced at Rs 1.72 lakh (ex-showroom), which is a price cut of Rs 17,000. While the Jawa 42 gets cheaper with the new updates, it hasn't undergone the knife for the bad. The heart of the matter - the powerplant, is the new J-Panther unit that displaces 294 cubic centimetres of working volume to develop a peak power output of 27.32 Hp and 26.84 Nm of max torque. Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles claims that the gear-based throttle mapping controls NVH levels.
"The 2024 Jawa 42 is a testament to a holistic approach to motorcycle engineering," says Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles. "We've left no stone unturned in our quest for 'price-performance' perfection. From upgrading materials to refining our manufacturing processes, we've pushed boundaries at every step. We believe in the philosophy of price-performance engineering, and the result is a motorcycle that doesn't just meet expectations, it redefines them. The authentic neo-classic 2024 Jawa 42 is a trinity of edgy performance, gorgeous design, and precision engineering."
The new Jawa 42 gets a gear-based throttle mapping and an assist & slip (A&S) clutch. The latest engine improvements include a heavier magneto, a larger throttle body and entry duct, and a CP4 cylinder head for superior performance. Also, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears are now optimized for enhanced drivability. A redesigned balancer weight and new hub-type balancer gear are used on the new motor to reduce vibrations.
