New Jawa 42

The New Jawa 42 Dual Tone Is a reimagined Jawa 42. The Dual Tone variant features clear lens indicators, short-hang fenders, and a new dimpled fuel tank, all complemented by premium diamond-cut alloy wheels. Furthermore, the engine and exhaust components have been treated with a Raven texture finish to enhance the contrast of the premium dual tone colourways, which include Cosmic Rock, Infinity Black, Starship Blue, and Celestial Copper. The seat has also been redesigned to harmonize with the new sportier aesthetics.

This new variant features a redesigned bash plate, new handlebar mounted mirrors, and new handlebar grips. All Jawa 42 continue to be powered by a 294.7cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 27.3PS and 26.8Nm. With peak torque available at just 5,750rpm, the 42 is an ideal city bike that also performs admirably on the highway. It is paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox and features class-leading dual-channel ABS for safety.

New Yezdi Roadster

This new Yezdi Roadster has become more touring-friendly with key changes in the ergonomics department. The most prominent changes include revised rider foot pegs (forward set by 155mm) and the taller handlebar. This update reflects the brand’s proactive approach to customer feedback. That said, as this new variant will retail alongside the existing Roadster, customers will now have the option of choosing the rider triangle that suits them best. 

Much like the new Jawa 42, the Yezdi Roadster too features some design updates, such as a sportier-looking knee recess, premium diamond-cut alloy wheels, and a Raven texture finish over the engine and exhaust. It also features new handlebar grips and handlebar-mounted mirrors; another enhancement based on customer feedback.

A critical new addition are the new exhausts. Be it their new curved routing which is a hark back to the Yezdis of yesteryear, or the new rorty exhaust note they offer, the Roadster takes having fun, rather seriously. This new model is available in four new colours including three dual tone themes: Rush Hour Red, Forest Green, and Lunar White, and a solid theme – Shadow Grey. The Yezdi Roadster range is powered by the spirited 334cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 29.5PS and 28.9Nm. It features class-leading dual-channel ABS and boasts a long 1440mm wheelbase for effortless highway cruising.
