Jawa Perak: Things to know

NEW DELHI: Marking its first anniversary in India, Classic Legends showcased Jawa Perak as a factory custom on Friday. Here are a few things to know about Jawa and the newly-unveiled motorcycle:

* The Jawa Perak is a bobber in spirit and form with a BS-VI compliant engine. The ‘bobbed’ fenders, chopped exhaust and a floating seat make it the quintessential bobber.


* Power comes through a 334cc liquid cooled, single cylinder, four stroke, DOHC engine, producing 30 bhp of power and 31 Nm of torque, breathing out through signature twin Jawa exhausts, albeit chopped for the authentic bobber stance.

* All this power is put to the tarmac via a 6-speed transmission with ratios optimised to offer a great riding experience through the gears.


* Housed in a tweaked chassis with an all-new swingarm, engineered to offer the optimum transverse, longitudinal, torsional rigidity.

* Frame and swingarm stiffness have been tuned for a linear feel, aiding stability over straights and poise along winding roads. This plays a significant role in improving the handling.

* Last year we had the rare opportunity to resurrect an iconic brand. Jawa represented the desire and yearning in all of us for freedom and adventure.

Every motorcycle will also feature commemorative emblem on the fuel tank along with its individual serial number out of 90.
