In latest updates, Rushlane claims that the test rides for the Jawa Perak bobber have started in Mumbai – Global Jawa, Andheri West. Similarly, other dealerships should also start the test rides soon.
Launched at an ex-showroom price tag of INR 1,94,500*, the new Jawa Perak bobber is the first BS-VI compliant motorcycle from Classic Legends. The Perak is also the most powerful motorcycle to arrive from the Mahindra & Mahindra subsidiary. Mechanical specifications on the newly launched Perak bobber include a 334 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC motor that pumps out 30.4 PS/30 bhp of maximum power and a peak torque of 31 Nm. The engine employs a six-speed gearbox.
Hardware specifications include conventional telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the back to perform the shock absorption tasks. Unlike the Jawa Classic and the Forty-two, the Perak is only available in dual-channel ABS guise. The anchoring setup comprises disc brakes on both wheels.
The retro-styling of the Perak is complemented by a stealthy look, and the bobber features a matte-black finish to the tank, wheels, engine and rest of the body panels. Golden stripes across the bodywork add a nice contrast to the motorcycle. Typical bobber-style features include a rider-only seat with no provision to add a pillion setup.
The Perak bobber will compete against the likes of Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350/500 and the Benelli Imperiale 400 in the Indian market. As mentioned in the tech-spec comparison, the Jawa product has a clear performance advantage over its rivals. However, it retails at a premium price tag than the competition.
