Upcoming Jawa Motorcycle Spotted Testing

Just last month, Jawa teased its new-generation engine, and announced that the motorcycle will be revealed on November 15. The Jawa 300 has now been spotted testing ahead of its official reveal. Looking at the heavily camouflaged spy shots, the motorcycle looks almost production ready.

The test mule has been designed with proper retro-modern approach, with a round headlamp up front and easy-to-reach handlebars. It features a very plush-looking seat with a rather simple-looking grabrails We are unclear how the instrument console is, thanks to the heavy taping. The front end gets telescopic forks with a fork cover that looks a lot similar to the one found in Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic models. The spoke wheels look similar-sized both front and rear, and it looks like they’re shod with MRF tyres. At the rear, the motorcycle employs a pair of gas-charged shock absorbers.

While the front end comes with a disc brake, Jawa has opted for a drum unit at the rear, presumably to keep the costs down. Going by the latest safety norms, expect a single-channel ABS to be offered as standard.

Powering the motorcycle is a 293cc, BSVI-compliant DOHC, liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor produces 27PS of power and 28Nm of torque. The dual exhaust has an interesting layout in the test mule, as it looks like it converges under the frame and again diverges. This is in stark contrast to how the exhausts were in the engine reveal.

The upcoming Jawa motorcycle will compete with the Royal Bullet 350 and Classic 350. Going by the brand’s heritage and retro-modern approach, the bike is likely to command a premium pricing over the Royal Enfields.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

Watch Video Review Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket. Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle! Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
