Jawa 42 in its 2025 version comes with sporty new graphics, dual-channel ABS, and a smooth refined engine, making it sharper, safer, and more fun to ride than ever before. The brand continues to fuse classic design with modern performance to attract young retro-loving riders across India.
Sporty Design Gets a Visual Boost
The 2025 Jawa 42 now flaunts refreshed body graphics, bold color options, and blacked-out mechanicals for a modern twist on its vintage appeal. The round headlamp, offset speedometer, and teardrop tank retain its signature retro styling.
Refined Engine With Smoother Delivery
Powering the bike is the same 294cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivering 27.3 hp and 26.8 Nm of torque. However, tweaks to the ECU and exhaust make the throttle more responsive and the ride more refined—ideal for both city traffic and weekend runs.
Dual-Channel ABS for Confident Braking
Braking duties are now handled with enhanced bite, thanks to standard dual-channel ABS across all variants. It improves stability under hard braking, especially on slippery or uneven roads, giving riders added peace of mind.
Ride Quality and Ergonomics
The bike continues to offer upright, relaxed ergonomics with mid-set footpegs and a well-padded seat. Suspension has been slightly tuned to better absorb bumps, ensuring comfort without compromising on handling agility.
Tech and Practical Features
- Digital-analog instrument cluster
- Side-stand engine cut-off

- USB charger (expected on top trims)
These practical additions enhance everyday usability without straying from its classic charm.
