Classic Legends is ready to give a few updates to the Jawa Fourty Two motorcycles in coming months. In fact, the updated model was recently caught on camera during its test rounds in the country. The spy picture confirms that the 2021 Jawa 42 will feature alloy wheels instead of the spoked units. The upgrade will also help the bikemaker fit tubeless tyres to the bike.
One of the major changes will come in the form of the sporty black treatment around the headlamp, exhaust and front and rear suspension units. The current model has chrome finish on aforementioned components. The 2021 Jawa 42 will also feature a flyscreen and grab rail. The seat stitching will also be different from the existing model. The bike is currently offered in 6 colour options – Haley’s Teal, Starlight Blue, Galactic Green, Comet Red and Lumos Lime.
No changes are likely to be made to the 2021 model year. The new Jawa 42 will continue to source power from the same BS6, 293cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that’s good enough for 26.5bhp and 27Nm of torque. The suspension and braking system of the new model are likely to remain unchanged. At present, the bike comes with telescopic forks up front and dual shocks suspension unit at the rear. It gets the disc brakes along with the dual-channel ABS. The entry-level variant has been equipped with a rear drum brake with single-channel ABS. Read – Jawa 42 Vs Royal Enfield Meteor
As of now, there is no clarity whether the updates will be made to a new variant or offered as accessories. Currently, the Jawa 42 comes in two variants – single-channel ABS and dual-channel ABS – priced at Rs 1.65 lakh and Rs 1.74 lakh respectively. Prices of the bike’s new model are likely to be more or less similar to the existing version.
