Jawa Motorcycles is gearing up for an exciting release on September 3, 2024, with the launch of a brand-new modern classic motorcycle. This upcoming bike is expected to compete directly with the likes of the Honda CB 350 RS, adding another option to the growing segment of retro-styled motorcycles in India.
Jawa’s Big Year in 2024
The year 2024 has been significant for Classic Legends, the parent company of Jawa Motorcycles. The year kicked off with the launch of the extensively updated Jawa 350, followed by refreshed versions of the Jawa 42 and Yezdi Adventure. The company also made headlines by reintroducing the iconic BSA brand to the Indian market with the BSA Gold Star 650. Now, Jawa is all set to add another feather to its cap with the launch of this new modern classic motorcycle.
Expected Engine and Performance
While specific details about the new motorcycle remain under wraps, it is anticipated to be powered by the same 334 cc Alpha-2 engine seen in the Jawa 350. This engine is known for producing 22.2 hp and 28.1 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, offering a balance of performance and smooth ride quality. Given Jawa’s reputation, the upcoming motorcycle is likely to deliver a stylish design, excellent fit and finish, and a riding experience that appeals to enthusiasts of retro-modern bikes.
Competing in the Modern Classic Segment
The new Jawa motorcycle is expected to enter the market as a strong competitor to models like the Honda CB 350 RS. While the exact style of the bike—whether it will be a scrambler or another variant—remains to be seen, the anticipation is high. Given Jawa’s pricing strategy, the new model is likely to be positioned around the ₹2 lakh mark, fitting comfortably between the Jawa 42 and the Jawa 42 Bobber.
As the launch date approaches, motorcycle enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see what Jawa has in store. With its rich heritage and commitment to quality, the new Jawa modern classic motorcycle is expected to make a significant impact in the market and provide tough competition to its rivals.
