4-stroke 2017 Jawa 350 OHC launched in Czech Republic

The iconic Jawa brand is confirmed to make a comeback to the Indian market thanks to Mahindra Two Wheelers Ltd.

Jawa has introduced the four-stroke variant of the Jawa 350. The bike is now Euro4 compliant and the company intends to sell it in Central America, Russia and UK.

The Czech motorcycle maker used to be a household name for Indian motorcycle enthusiasts in the bygone years. However, the advent of cheaper Japanese alternatives and changing emission norms turned the tides against the company. Jawa Moto, however, continued to manufacture the two-stroke wonders, albeit in a smaller number.
