Jawa & Jawa Forty Two Fuel Efficiency Figures Announced

Classic Legends, the Mahindra-owned subsidiary that revived the Jawa brand, commenced deliveries of its motorcycles last month. With buyers taking their bikes home, the bike maker has now revealed more details on the Jawa and Jawa Forty Two including the fuel efficiency figure on the motorcycles. Responding to a customer query on social media, Classic Legends revealed that the Jawa and Jawa 42 cruisers have an ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure of 37.5 kmpl. That's an appreciable number considering the fact that the bikes use a 293 cc single-cylinder engine.

The ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure though is tested in ideal conditions and does not necessarily reflect the real world mileage on the motorcycle. However, it does give you a ball park figure on the efficiency that can be achieved. In comparison, the Mahindra Mojo that used a derivative of the same engine as the Jawa motorcycles returned a duel efficiency of around 30-33 kmpl. Hence, the new Jawa and 42 should not be too far off in real world mileage with its linear power delivery. With a fuel tank capacity of 14 litres, expect a range of about 500 km on a tank-full.

The Jawa motorcycle range is powered by a 293 cc single-cylinder motor

With respect to performance figures, the 293 cc liquid-cooled motor powering the Jawa and Jawa 42 produces 28 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque, and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The bike uses telescopic forks up front and a monoshock unit at the rear, while braking performance comes from disc brakes at either end with single-channel ABS as standard and dual-channel ABS as optional.

After a long wait, the Jawa bikes are finally being handed to customers and the company has said that it is booked for volumes until September this year. While online bookings aren't available right now, the company is accepting bookings for its classic offerings at its 95 dealerships spread across 77 cities. The manufacturer had originally announced it will establish 100 outlets before commencing deliveries.

Prices for the Jawa start at Rs. 1.55 lakh for the single-channel ABS version, while the dual-channel version is priced at Rs. 1.64 lakh. The Jawa 42 meanwhile starts from Rs. 1.63 lakh and goes up to Rs. 1.72 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). The company is expected to introduce its third offering - Jawa Perak - by the end of this year.

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
